CHENEY ALREADY PREPARED FOR SUBPOENA BY CONGRESS REGARDING ILLEGAL WIRETAP ALLEGATIONS
by R J Shulman
WASHINGTON, D.C. - Vice President Dick Cheney announced that he already knew that his office was going to get subpoened by the Senate Judicary Committee to end what they called the "stonewalling" by Cheney's office regarding charges that the Vice President and the Justice Department have used illegal wiretaps against the American people. "I knew about this days before, so it's no big deal," Cheney said to reporters. When asked what tipped him off, Cheney said, "That's for you to know and for me to find out."

"Unfortunately, the papers that they are going to ask us for," said Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, "have already been lost." When asked how he and the Vice President could have known exactly what the Congressional committee members would be asking for, Gonzales replied, "I don't recall."
