Why was Cheney's guy in Georgia before the war?

Posted by Jeff from Latimesblogs.latimes

The LA Times posted a blog entry today asking why Dick Cheney's top aide was in Georgia before it invaded South Ossetia. Separately, the blogosphere is buzzing over Karl Rove's "vacation" to Yalta in which he appeared on a panel with Georgian President Saakashvili before the war.

Cheney's Link to Sen. Ted Stevens Corruption Trial

The letter was considered unusual because the White House rarely contacts state lawmakers about pending legislative matters. It also angered state Democrats, who accused Cheney of pushing oil-company interests. The former executive director of Cheney's energy task force had gone to work as a lobbyist for British Petroleum, one of three firms slated to build the pipeline. Stevens confirmed to NEWSWEEK last week that he asked Cheney to write the letter.
