I hope it's Obvious to EVERYONE Including Prosectors Abroad, Cheney's just BUCKING UP HIS DEFENSE.

[snot]

Like, um, he honestly believed unfettered sadism was the right thing to do. Etc.

Every time I hear Cheney's words on NPR (AGAIN, and AGAIN -- why is this news re-re-presented without any analysis?), I feel more enraged.

[FiveGoodMen]

1. He doesn't need a defense!

Not unless there's a prosecution.

[Individualist]

5. Precisely!

[PDJane]

2. If i were his lawyer,

I'd tell him to sit down and shut the hell up. The man may be leading the discussion, but only Americans are swallowing the right wing line.

The rest of us are waiting for the war crimes trial.

3. Pol Pot and Tomás de Torquemada thought they were right too

Sorry Dick... good intention doesn't make your Torture any less of a war crime

[Meeker Morgan]

8. Cheney will never be prosecuted.

Torquemada died in bed.

4. Trying To Sully The Jury Pool........

I think he knows that he is going to be investigated and prosecuted. I think he feels that once that happens - he won't be able to get his side of the story out - so he's trying to do that now - before it happens.

7. I think the Hague would be an appropriate venue

for Dick's war crime tribunal

[xiamiam]

9. how do we get that started?

[Psychic Consortium]

11. You may be quite correct. The events you describe are high probability.

He is scared and feeling the heat.
Backed into a corner.

[Uben]

6. Say what you like, but Cheney has been consistent

He consistently lies about everything and he is consistently wrong. So, why isn't he consistently in prison?

[xiamiam]

10. im upset again today..just because he got airtime...and msm acted as if he has legitimacy

probably good that he is keeping it stirred up...i want him to be held accountable...i want the media enablers to be held accountable as well...today is very reminiscent of the last 8 years...when i felt helpless and hopeless in the face of these criminals..i just dont understand why its only up to obama? holder? or congress?..when most of america is ready to put these guys in jail..baffles me...just seems there should be some other way to have justice served

12. Obama Can Not deal with Cheney like he's on a campaign tour...

When you are dealing with hardened war criminals and psychopaths like Cheney.. you have to come out with guns blazing. (Big story today on how Cheney gave Haliburton Billions for electrical contracts while our soldiers are dying in the shower because of faulty wiring)

Unless Obama gets tough and starts to control the dialog.. he is finished. Cheney and Neocons are like vultures circling the roadkill.

Obama needs to go to the "Tony Saprano School of Diplomacy".
