Cheney's war. Within two months of assuming the vice presidency, Dick Cheney embarked on a series of secret meetings among the members of the Cheney Energy Task Force. He has battled ever since to keep the content of those meetings secret.

But Judicial Watch has fought for and won access to some of the task force's documents, including this smoking gun — a map of Iraq oil fields:

Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption and abuse, said today that documents turned over by the Commerce Department, under court order as a result of Judicial Watch’s Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit concerning the activities of the Cheney Energy Task Force, contain a map of Iraqi oilfields, pipelines, refineries and terminals, as well as 2 charts detailing Iraqi oil and gas projects, and “Foreign Suitors for Iraqi Oilfield Contracts.” The documents, which are dated March 2001, are available on the Internet at: www.JudicialWatch.org.

[The title above the graphic says "Iraqi Oilfields and Exploration Blocks."]

Remember that these meetings were held six months before 9/11/01, so any associations of the American invasion of Iraq with a "war on terrorism" or alleged Al Qaeda connections are well after the fact of these documents, which prove an abnormal interest in Iraqi energy resources long before the Twin Towers fell.

Can we make impeachment retroactive?
