Citing Cheney praise of Edelman letter, CNN left out Gates' refutation of attack on Clinton

SUMMARY: In a report on the "dispute" between the Bush administration and Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, CNN's John Roberts stated that during an interview Vice President Cheney told Larry King that he "backed a Pentagon bureaucrat [Eric Edelman] who has accused Clinton of helping the enemy in Iraq." But Roberts did not note that Edelman is a "former top aide" to Cheney, nor that, in contrast with Cheney, Defense Secretary Gates responded to Clinton that the Pentagon in no way "believe[s] that congressional oversight emboldens our enemies."
