Questions about Cheney's role on the Iran NIE

I would set neither one of these as a rock solid source, but two reports this morning of Cheney's office holding up the Iran NIE because it wasn't conclusive enough to support the most hawkish policies as contained dissenting opinions.

(In late October, DNI McConnell said that NIE's would no longer be declassified because of a fear that public release is contaminating the work.

Perhaps these "dissenting opinions" in the Iran NIE were considered by this White House to be the contamination of an overcautious intelligence community?)
