Did CHENEY Slip & Admit That The Program That They Bullied Ashcroft About Was Indeed "TSP"?
looks like Cheney slipped up big time and told Larry King that the program that Gonzales and Card were sent to bully Ashcroft about was indeed the TSP

Q In that regard, The New York Times -- which, as you said, is not your favorite -- reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then-Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the President's intelligence-gathering program. Was it you?
THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall -- first of all, I haven't seen the story. And I don't recall that I gave instructions to that effect.

Q That would be something you would recall.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I would think so. But certainly I was involved because I was a big advocate of the Terrorist Surveillance Program, and had been responsible and working with General Hayden and George Tenet to get it to the President for approval. By the time this occurred, it had already been approved about 12 times by the Department of Justice. There was nothing new about it.

Q So you didn't send them to get permission.

THE VICE PRESIDENT: I don't recall that I was the one who sent them to the hospital.

1. I don't think it was really a slip. He just doesn't care what we think.

2. Well, it could also be interpreted as "Hell no, it wasn't TSP--it was flat out
data mining there, Larry!!! Against our own citizenry!!!!!! TSP had already been implemented--we were already underway with that puppy!!!"

3. Cheney does not make mistakes. The WH and OVP have left Gonzo out to fly in the
wind.
