I can't speak for "righties" but I can say that your suggestion wouldn't prove that the premise is bogus. Even supposing Cheney did have some commitment to the environment, that wouldn't really apply as evidence that his Office didn't seek to manipulate Congressional testimony related to greenhouse gases and public health. And, since those examples you seek are most likely nonexistant, I want to note that their nonexistance doesn't act as evidence that Cheney's Office did manipulate or censor testimony.

I can't tell exactly what the premise of the thread is, but going by the title, it seems to be that "Cheney censored global-warming facts," which is bogus because the thread provided nothing to back up such an assertion.
