Yep. At this moment, (12 PM EST) Bush and Cheney have already testified together and privately inside the Oval Office. They were not under oath. There will be no recording of any sort, even transcripts for "history." Only note taking...
Why is this being conducted this way? My logical side says that certain facts that might be revealed are "sensitive" or "confidential."
Another less deductive side of me says both men are testifying together because Bush can't possibly stand on his own against the commission without Cheney there to guide him (and Bush's lead lawyer, Alberto Gonzales, no less).
Sort of the puppet/puppeteer thing, you know?
The Dems say they are testifying together to not "contradict" each other.
The White House maintains it's important both "tell a story" together."
All in all, as an American who contributes to Bush and Cheney's paycheck, I'd really like to know what those two are talking about.
