RUSSERT: But is there a connection?

CHENEY: We don't know.

I'm so glad that's all cleared up now. By-the-by, how does this equal a "lecture" by VPOTUS? Sound to me as if he was saying "We don't know" if there was a connection - how does this equal a statement of fact that there was a connection?

In an abundance of caution Cheney said "we don't know." He then laid out specific evidence of links.
