Actually this is typical Maureed Dowd. She has been heavily biased since she started writing. The only quote from Cheney in the article is the opener about keeping Bush in the air while he went underground. Everything else is claims about Cheney lying, but where does he actually admit that, as the title claims?

I was against the Iraq invasion from the start, and I believe that our leaders both lied and were lied to, but where in the article does Cheney "come clean"? Dowd refers to claims made in a documentary, but is Cheney on the film admitting he lied? We'll see, when this film hits the air.

To be fair, though, Dowd doesn't claim that Cheney admits that he lied, either in her text or in her title. That is left to the person who wrote the blog, and to the person who linked it here.

Dowd claims that Cheney lied, which she has done all along. How solid is her evidence?

The Blogger repeats Dowd's claims, but puts up the false title "Cheney Admits that he lied about 9/11".

It is repeated here without checking to see whether that claim is true, and everybody jumps on the same bandwagon.

Just to be clear, I believe that Cheney lied, and I have always felt that Iraq was the wrong move. This coming documentary may have new evidence, or it may not. That remains to be seen. There doesn't seem to be anything new here, and still no direct evidence. My only quibble is in the rehashing of old news with nothing new to add, under the heading "Cheney Admits..."
