More from the same White House that threatened to veto the Whistleblower Protection Enhancement Act of 2007, refused to testify under oath to the 9/11 Commission and every other committee that's tried to investigate anything, and was the subject of a Congressional Research Service Report, "a searchable collection of 237 specific misleading statements made by Bush Administration officials about the threat posed by Iraq" preceeding the opening days of shock and awe in Iraq. Indeed, shocking and awesome take on new meaning daily!
See also Henry Waxman's fact sheet entitled, "The Vice President's Efforts to Avoid Oversight and Accountability" and these related articles, "Waxman Decries Cheney Security Exemption", and "Gov.
Asks Judge to Toss Spying Lawsuits"--"They've come to federal court to stop state officials from even beginning their investigations," DeAlmeida said. "They are insulating the federal government from any investigation from state officials by insulating themselves in state secrets arguments."
So is he impeached YET? Call your Representative right now with this information, insist s/he support Kucinich's Cheney Impeachment resolution (H.Res. 333), and call again every single day until you see her/his name listed as a cosponsor. Really, there just simply is no longer ANY excuse not to demand immediate impeachment.

In the months before the Sept. 11 attacks, federal aviation officials reviewed dozens of intelligence reports that warned about Osama bin Laden and Al Qaeda, some of which specifically discussed airline hijackings and suicide operations, according to a previously undisclosed report from the 9/11 commission.
The report discloses that the Federal Aviation Administration, despite being focused on risks of hijackings overseas, warned airports in the spring of 2001 that if “the intent of the hijacker is not to exchange hostages for prisoners, but to commit suicide in a spectacular explosion, a domestic hijacking would probably be preferable.”
