The Post’s Tuesday piece about Cheney says, among other things …

Cheney repeated assertions — disputed by some senators — that members of Congress had access to the same intelligence that was provided to Bush about the threat of Iraqi weapons of mass destruction under the rule of Saddam Hussein.

Disputed by ‘some senators’?

Please. Try disputed by the Post itself little more than a week ago.

How much of a difference there was or how relevant that difference may be to the underlying debate — those may be a up for discussion. But the claim that members of Congress had access to the same intelligence the president did is just demonstrably false.

Why create a he said/she said, when the facts on the table are not in dispute?
