Biden vs. Cheney: The veeps, current and past, square off over the war on terror and terrorist trials. Who won? Hard to say.

One television commentator referred to it as a smackdown worthy of World Wrestling Entertainment, but, to be honest, Sunday's talk-show back-and-forth between Dick Cheney and Joe Biden was a surprisingly substantive exchange on how best to bring terrorists to justice. For the most part, the current vice president had the better of the argument, but on one issue -- whether Khalid Shaikh Mohammed should be tried in a civilian court -- Biden ominously signaled that the administration might be moving toward Cheney's view.
