6. To investigate her, it is necessary to investigate Cheney
especially.

Jane Mayer, in her book The Dark Side, notes that even Rice, Powell and Ashcroft were left out of key meetings during which Cheney's shadow govt decided to torture.

Powell and Ashcroft were left out because they had already expressed their doubts about the legality of Cheney's plans. (Bush, btw, wasn't even around for some of these meetings because, frankly, you don't need Howdy Doody when you're not on stage.)

So, if Cheney refused to release information to Bush's DoJ- how can Pelosi be the problem here? she's obviously not - not for this issue - she is the problem for refusing to go after the fascists when they were still in office.. officially, at least.
