|
And is that why Dick Cheney was in the private meetings today? Collaboration resulting in yet another attack on the Constitution?
People are asking who wrote the provisions that allow extended military detention of American citizens.
Investigative reporters need to ask the question: Did Dick Cheney and/or Philip Zelikow author these provisions?
Obama appointed Zelikow to his Intelligence Advisory Board in September of this year.

1. I doubt that dick actually writes much of anything; |
|
I suspect he was at the meeting as 'cheerleader.'

7. my interpretation of him being there is to remind lawmakers that he can still hurt them. |
|
He can Wellstone them at will, in any of myriad awful ways.

10. he can't let up, because someone might rat him out |
|
The facade might crack.
It would be easy for him to commit suicide if things fall apart. Just pull the plug. He'll never be held accountable.

little actual writing in recent decades. He primarily has had others do that for him. In terms of anything "legal," he always gave attorneys directions regarding the results he wanted, and let them do the actual writing.
