    IIRC, there was an incident back in the 80s or early 90s in Ireland, where the Minister of Defense had given tacit support for an Iran-Contra style incident involving providing weapons to the Provisional IRA. The conclusion was basically that if the Minister of Defense did it, it wasn't illegal. Basically, you can't violate the orders when you're the one making them. In Cheney's case, it was still a bitch move, though.
