I hope that this is not a dupe, as far as I know Cheney wasn't mentioned in the original Reuters article featured on Yahoo.
New York Times sues Department of Defense for eavesdrop documentsFebruary 27, 2006, 10:32 PM EST
NEW YORK -- The New York Times sued the Department of Defense on Monday, saying the government has refused to turn over records related to its domestic warrantless surveillance program.
In a lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Manhattan, the Times asked the court to order the government to comply with a Freedom of Information Act request requiring it to release documents or provide a lawful reason why it cannot.

The Times said a Dec. 16 letter to the Department of Defense requested all internal memos, e-mails and legal memoranda and opinions since Sept. 11, 2001, related to the National Security Agency spying program. The department is the parent agency of the NSA.
The newspaper said it asked for meeting logs, calendar items and notes related to discussions of the program, including meetings held by Vice President Dick Cheney and his staff with members of Congress and telecommunications executives.
It also requested all complaints of abuse or possible violations in the operations of the program or the legal rationale behind it.
