Six years and a protracted legal battle later, the Washington Post has finally gotten its hands on a list of who met with Dick Cheney's Energy Task Force in 2001.

Turns out it's a bunch of oil and gas execs. Shocking.

This is my favorite 'graph from the story:

The task force issued its report on May 16, 2001. Though the report was roundly criticized by environmental groups at the time, some energy experts say that in retrospect it appears better balanced than the administration's actual policy.

Sigh.
