I've missed her.

She's got a future in stand-up!

Don't be so hard on her. She meant to say "accurate".

Ms Pfotenhauer, I thought you had left the building. Long time no hear. Taking a peek above the parapet, are you? Testing the waters? Take a little more time off, if you want.

Cheney plays a much more sinister role with the truth than is suggested by the terms used abovve.

When he couldn't confirm the fantasised Prague meeting of a supposed Iraqi agent with Al Qaeda and indeed the idea was widely discredited in intelligence circles, what language did he use to report the failure to make any link despite his lengthy, passionate, relentless, bullying efforts?

He called it a "report" that is "pretty much confirmed now." And in his malevolent mind, even if he says it's "pretty much confirmed" 500 times however forcefully, menacingly, belittling the people who found it to be clearly not true, this "pretty much confirmed now" game-playing still gives him room to later snarl, "I said NEVER those reports were confirmed as true! You can go back and check and I hope you do -- I absolutely *NEVER* stated that!" When he speaks to us, this is what he is engaging in, calculated but very forceful disinformation with deniability.

How does absolutely-unconfirmed-and-becoming-more-unlikely-every-time-we-try-to-look- at-it, become "pretty much confirmed now? He just has to have a felon like Scooter Libby keeping after it, and as long as, say, Scooter keeps digging (despite being told repeatedly that it's discredited), the "investigation" is ongoing for Cheney, and while not confirmed it's "pretty much" so, cause when he looks at the lack of any evidence, he still gets a good feeling the link is almost surely there.

In this thoroughly deceitful way, definitely yes, Cheney is meticulous in intentionally, continuously, sharply misleading in a bullying and cocksure manner, without ever "saying something he knows to be inaccurate." The lady's statement is true to that extent.
