"...in Watergate, the cover-up of the role of Nixon's aides in the Watergate break-in led to the discovery by the press and the political institutions of the larger crimes -- the so called 'White House horrors' -- meaning the constitutional crimes of the president and his men."

Would "White House Horrors" include lying/contempt to congress? There is certainly evidence that Cheney and Libby did not fully disclose documents related to WMD intellignce for congressional review and oversight. That seems a much larger issue that represents a complete derelection of the constitution. See below links:

Where is the "courageous" (and responsible) congress that would bring the executive branch to account for these crimes as specified by the law?
