    "Senior administration official"

    = Dick Cheney.

    We know that from the time he let his cover slip by using the first person when recounting a foreign trip he'd been on.

    I submit that it is applicable to all uses of the term "senior administration official" until proven otherwise.

    Didn't the Times already issue some kind of mea culpa on the unrestrained use of anonymous sources? Did anyone who works there actually read it?
