More evidence that Cheney is pulling the strings and Bush is the puppet

From Robert Dreyfuss, via Kevin Drum:

According to [Larry] Wilkerson, Cheney’s office and the [National Security Council] were completely separate on foreign policy. Cheney, says Wilkerson, “set up a staff that knew what the statutory NSC was doing, but the NSC statutory staff didn’t know what his staff was doing. The vice president’s staff could read the statutory NSC’s e-mail, but the NSC couldn’t read their e-mail. So, once someone on the statutory NSC figured it out, they used various work-arounds. Like, for example, they would walk to someone’s office, rather than send an e-mail, if what they were going to talk about they didn’t want to reveal to the vice president’s very powerful staff.” But that was difficult because of Cheney “spies” within the bureaucracy, including people like John Bolton at the State Department, Robert Joseph at the NSC, certain staffers at WINPAC (the arms control shop at CIA), and various Pentagon officials, he adds.
