Protest opportunity missed

Dick Cheney stopped in Shannon on his return from his Middle East trip (reporter photo). He didn't stop there on the way out, likely because some of the travelling party needed to get a second plane since some were going to Iraq and others not. But the entire collection of warmongers -- Cheney himself, his national security adviser John Hannah, his chief of staff David Addington, and of course his daughter Liz -- did the trip back together. Speaking of Liz Cheney, note her presence at this top meeting in Jordan, with still no public explanation of her position in the administration.

UPDATE: Here she is boarding a Marine helicopter at Andrews Air Force Base for the hop back into DC. On one shoulder, the typical senior official bag. In the other -- is that a Shannon duty free shop bag? The Cheneys know that place well.

FINAL UPDATE: We've collected all the circumstantial evidence of Liz Cheney's senior position at the White House in a TPM Cafe discussion table post.

[postscript: One Liz Cheney job is now out in the open: foreign policy adviser to the nascent Fred Thompson campaign]
