According to the NYT:
"Vice President Dick Cheney on Friday vigorously defended a secret program that examines banking records of Americans and others in a vast international database, and harshly criticized the news media for disclosing an operation he said was legal and 'absolutely essential' to fighting terrorism.
"'What I find most disturbing about these stories is the fact that some of the news media take it upon themselves to disclose vital national security programs, thereby making it more difficult for us to prevent future attacks against the American people,' Mr. Cheney said, in impromptu remarks at a fund-raising luncheon for a Republican Congressional candidate in Chicago. 'That offends me.'"
Sen. Hillary Clinton stepped away from her pro-war position just long enough to say: The Dick, The Bush, The Rum-Dum-Dummy and their latest recruit,The CONdeSlezza,
"...may not have a war policy, but they do have an election policy and it is again to engender fear and insecurity and to try to prevent people from thinking about what works and what the real threats are."
It should not go unnoticed that The Dick chose to advocate press censorship at a Republican political event.
