I've been reading through a Washington Post feature and really enjoying it.  It's composed of excerpts from a book published before the election was over and is quite heavily slanted against VP Cheney, but at the same time it provides some great behind the scenes stories around some of the more controversial decisions relating to prisoner torture, warrantless domestic surveillance, and environmental protections.  The author claims Cheney had a dominant hand in the policies surrounding these issues, but did so while leaving little trace of his influence.  This portrayal of Cheney makes for an interesting character to read about.  I hope you enjoy it.  Of course, take it with a grain of salt.

The story that sucked me in was 'Conflict Over Spying Led White House To Brink' and the second part of the story, 'Cheney Shielded Bush From Crisis.'  This shows how close we came to the upper levels of the DOJ resigning over the domestic spying program.

The Washington Post is a subscription site, but this link should allow you to read all of the associated stories.
