Interesting. Andrew Sullivan points out that Cheney didn't say that he supports the FMA -- he said that he supports the President.

More than that Ty (I watched that piece of the interview).
When Blitzer quoted Cheney's 2000 statements back to him, and asked about the FMA, Cheney first said that he had previously stated his position on the issue. However, the President had made the policy decision, as is his right. When Blitzer tried to prod him further, Cheney said that he advises the President on the issues of the day, and never tells anyone what advice he gives the President. He then said that the President had made the decision and that he supports the President. (reiterated that statement again in response to the next question).
So, he clearly signalled his disagreement with the Administration policy on the FMA, FWIW.
