I realize you posed this question to troll, harpgirl, and I've already made my position on this as clear as I believe I can, but I do have one comment.

I think it is perfectly logical that the VP, who was charged with the responsibility (along with others) to develop an Energy Policy would seek counsel from people in the energy business. I agree with you and I am uncomfortable with the fact that the VP is resisiting releasing information Congressional committees want. I have a feeling that will change with this Enron mess, and that the information will be made available. If it isn't the charges of "cover up" will just continue.
