Dick Cheney, 71, was in a Virginia hospital following a heart transplant Saturday. Host Laura Sullivan talks with NPR's Rob Stein about the former vice president's health.

The U.S. Supreme Court hears arguments Wednesday in a case involving a Colorado man who was thrown in jail after telling Vice President Cheney in 2006 that the Bush administration's policies in Iraq were "disgusting." Even the Secret Service agents involved in the arrest disagree on what happened.

Will the secretary of state replace Joe Biden in 2012? Reporter Bob Woodward floated that scenario a year ago. What does he actually know, and how does he knows it.

Bob Woodward argues Dick Cheney's willingness to bomb Syria on flimsy intelligence showed he didn't learn much from Sept. 11.

"I've never gotten around the question of her having left the governorship of Alaska in mid-term," former Vice President Dick Cheney said today when asked about fellow Republican Sarah Palin and her suitability for national office.

She also disputes his account of her crying during one meeting. "I don't remember coming to the vice president tearfully about anything in the entire eight years that I knew him," Rice tells Reuters.

"In fact I think it was sound policy that dealt with a very serious problem," the former vice president says of the decision to go to war.

The former secretary of state is no fan of what's in the former vice president's new memoir, which has critical things to say about others who served under President George W. Bush.

The president did not follow Cheney's advice, and other top administration advisers thought it was a bad idea. Meanwhile, Cheney tells NBC that many in Washington aren't going to like what they read in his new memoir.

In an interview with NBC °µºÚ±¬ÁÏ, the former vice president also said he'd "strongly support" waterboarding a "high value detainee."
