Cheney's Energy Task Force

A CNN poll right now asks whether information from VP Dick Cheney's "secret" energy task force meetings (the ones that excluded energy groups but included folks like Enron's Ken Lay, someone we'd all just love deciding American energy policy) should be made public. With close to 150,000 respondents thus far, 74% say YES.

You have to hand it to Solicitor Ted Olson appealing before the Supremes regarding it. The nerve required to say this was an unprecedented intrusion into the presidential office is really funny considering Olson was one of the "elves" behind all those years of Clinton conspiracy theory, where we focused on the blue dress instead of bleeping al Qaeda. Nice work, Ted.
