"Skip ahead to the present day, and so much has changed in six years. Pretty much everything except Dick Cheney’s penchant for secrecy, that is. Ordered in 2004 to show how his office was complying with federal guidelines on handling classified information, Richard the Reticent did his civic duty and ignored the dictum. Two years later, the Office of the Vice President again disdained an on-site inspection, saying that the orders did not apply to the OVP. Last Thursday, we learned why: because now Cheney says he’s not part of the executive branch at all, but part of the legislative branch."
