Reply #1: The press plays a role in this mess.

While the FCC was busy looking at Janet Jackson, the media was performing vile acts of omission. They let Bush get away with murder.

Of course he knew. Without a PNAC I might even wonder if he didn't know. But that is an additional piece of the puzzle that just clinches it for someone like myself. That is, if I were a juror. Maybe I'm wrong about this. Maybe as a juror I would be held to a higher degree. And I believe that is what Cheney was doing. He and his gang members were very careful to play this so they wouldn't get caught. I'm making assumptions, but they aren't very big ones.
