Trying not to go off on the politics of these things. I get the impression LBJ was also chumped into escalating VN, and him later realizing it is one reason why he dodged running for re-election. His political forte was congressional deal making, backroom talks over cigars and bourbon, and being thrust into international affairs put him out of his element. "Truth" regarding Cheney will not be happening while the wife is still alive, and I doubt that the daughters will come to Jesus regarding Dad. Go to Wikipedia and type in Fortunate Son (Hatfield book) for an example of how things like this are done.
