Filed at 4:31 p.m. ET WASHINGTON (AP) -- Citing constitutional concerns, Vice President Dick Cheney and the White House are refusing to turn over information in two lawsuits against the Bush administration's energy task force.

The information...

I thought Judicial Watch was a right-wing stooge group whose sole purpose was to get President Clinton impeached, convicted and sent to prison. How wrong I was. Led by Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman, Judicial Watch is out to be a pain in the posterior to just about anybody with power. Last week, the group sued Vice President Dick Cheney and his former company, Halliburton, alleging that they defrauded investors. While Mr. Cheney was CEO, Halliburton hatched a clever accounting scheme. Whenever the energy services company had cost overruns on a project -- meaning the job was costing more...

<p>Judicial Watch, that persistent legal barker headed by legal eagle Larry Klayman, bravely spent years doggedly pursuing the machinations of the Clinton administration. And for that, it and he regularly were tagged as purely partisan and conservative yippers. Hence, what has surprised some is the target of Judicial Watch's most recent lawsuit.</p>

What a change! Just a few years ago the Washington Post described Judicial Watch (JW) Chairman and General Counsel Larry Klayman as a "crusading conservative with a yen for hardball and a knack for peppering Clintonites with litigation." Since successfully suing the Bush administration to force release of documents from the White House Energy Task Force headed by Vice President Dick Cheney, however, the Post and other establishment media have decided he is a national hero and public-interest "watchdog."
