Dick Cheney: Sabotaging America
As Karen Hughes goes about her urgent job of trying to repair America's disastrously debased image throughout the world -- especially the Muslim world -- she is being undercut by what has become her mission's worst nightmare.

Dick Cheney.

The vice president's steely hand and hard-line handiwork are making it impossible for the Bush-Cheney administration's undersecretary of state for public diplomacy to succeed in her prime mission _ winning hearts and minds in the Muslim world. It happens, of course, mainly behind closed doors in the West Wing, the Pentagon and on Capitol Hill.

The latest is something that once would have been unthinkable as a policy of the United States: The officially sanctioned abuse and inhumane treatment of some prisoners or suspects in the war on terror.

3. dick is horrific and sending Karen Hughes is a (bad) joke...
Karen leading the PR charge is like sending Mary Tudor Q. of Scots out to convert Protestants--just tell them all YOU believe in bush and voila! they will follow, if not? keep hitting them over the head with anything you can dig up. All she needs is a Mickey Mouse Club hat to complete the propaganda pkg...Hi, I'M Karen!
