If you hover your mouse over a link, IE at least shows the URL on the bottom bar. Most of the links from the MSNBC versions are to standard reference sites where the items linked should be in permanent archives. The couple that are to MSNBC and/or WP sites may be a little more likely to evaporate, but are mostly old enough that they've probably gone to a permanent archive, so I'd expect them to be "stable" for a reasonable time.

Of course, Cheney might just decide he has the authority to "erase" all history, so one never knows for sure.

The articles themselves should eventually find a stable place, and the second link to Part 1 may be an archive. The concern is that the links to the articles, that work now, may not be the permanent ones - yet - and hunting them up later may be more difficult.
