STFU Dick Cheney

Cheney will speak at the the American Enterprise Institute (where his wife works) tomorrow .
He is expected to insist - as he has in numerous interviews since leaving office this year - that dismantling the Gitmo camps will put the nation at greater risk of a terror strike.

He'll also likely defend the Bush administration's tough interrogation tactics in his address to the conservative thinktank where his wife Lynn works.

Learn some class from Al Gore

A stern critic of Bush policy over the years, Gore told CNN's John Roberts that "I waited for two years after I left office to make statements that were critical, and then of policy."

Cheney has stayed in the news for months, arguing that Obama's decision ending a program of enhanced interrogation techniques undermines national security and makes the U.S. more vulnerable to attack.

Gore, who like Obama has described some of those techniques as torture, questioned Cheney's credibility, citing the Iraq War: "You talk about somebody that shouldn't be talking about making the country less safe, invading a country that did not attack us and posed no serious threat to us at all."

I agree with Lanny Davis
It’s Time to Indict Cheney!
<snip>
I have written many times in this space that I oppose any criminal prosecution of prior-administration officials on torture or other issues relating to the Iraq War and the war on terrorism, especially those CIA interrogators who relied in good faith on the instructions of policymakers and the legal opinions issued by Justice Department senior officials.

I have agreed with President Obama on the need to look forward, not backward.

———-

So as to Mr. Cheney: I think it is time to take him up on his implicit dare and indict him for violating the 1994 federal law against torture.

———-

But I have changed my mind about the need to indict former Vice President Dick Cheney for complicity in illegal torture.

His insistence on putting himself on multiple TV programs and conservative radio talk shows, not only defending torture but offering the defense that it worked, has changed my mind.

Not only that — he went on to attack Mr. Obama as weakening the United States in the war on terrorism because Mr. Obama immediately announced that torture would no longer be allowed.

Them’s fighting words. They are also, in my view, reckless and irresponsible.

----------------------
Would someone tell this war criminal to shut the fuck up. He and his party lost power last November.

He's going to keep going because - god bless America - he has the right to speak out.

Part of my theory of what's been going on, this activity of Cheney's is part of the plan, so that when we're wiped out, economically and in every other way, he and his minions will rise up and claim "I TOLD YOU SO!"

Anyone who doesn't believe Cheney's completely involved with The Powers That Be also believes in Santa Claus, the Easter Bunny, and that freepers are really smart, informed people .....................

this soon after an election? It's like he believes he is still running the country. Al Gore remained silent for two years after they stole the Presidency from him.
