BUSH VIEWS PHOTOS; WON'T SHARE
By Stockton
President Bush has been reviewing the photos of prisoner abuse in Iraq, and in the process, has caused a disturbance in the Executive Branch.
"The problem," said Vice President Dick Cheney, "is that he won't share." The sentiment was expressed by other White House personnel as well. "Why does he get to review them all by himself," said one staffer.
"We've had this problem with George. . . I mean. . . the President before," intoned Cheney. "But in the past, we were able to convince him that sharing means caring. We may have to start taking away some of his privileges."
Close aids last saw the President yesterday, when he took the photos into the Oval Office. He later buzzed his personal valet asking for a bottle of hand lotion.
