Cheney should be cut off from all national security connections.
Should not be allowed to read any of the PDBs or any other classified info.

1. I saw that inhuman piece of scum...
Edited on Tue May-10-11 12:38 AM by CoffeeCat
...on tv tonight--wringing his hands and complaining because the current administration doesn't
torture as much as his administration. It's not enough that he was evil--everyone else must
be evil and keep the evil traditions going.

Are there any words that can aptly describe the depravity and pathology of this sick freak?

He's upset at the lack of human torture, so he has to show up and let his displeasure be known?

OMG!!!! I can't take how sick he is and how he has absolutely no SHAME!!!

He should be in prison for his torture tactics, not on national television admonishing those in power
for not being as evil, criminal and sociopathic as he is.

It's so disgusting! He's disgusting!

6. You think about what this man is willing to do and you realize he has no regard for our military men
Cheney is ensuring that our military men will be tortured, because he has removed the bar from the Geneva Conventions.

10. Cheney is trying to keep his own ass out of the gallows
Cheney doesn't give fuck all about the troops or anyone else but himself.

11. I think people like Cheney
see the world like a giant board game and people are just pawns in the game. The object is winning and there is no morality involved. I don't think the man actually sees what he has done as wrong. Its not even cruel, its more indifferent which is scarier.

12. He definitely does not have the same value of human life for people below a
certain pay scale.

13. That mentality has been with us forever
People like the Bushs and the Cheneys are like the aristocrats from the past who put little or no value on commoners. They serve a purpose, but individually they are disposable.

14. But this is not an American principle.
That's the disconnect.

15. No its not
but people brought the attitude with them when they came here, even if it might have been subconscious.

We have laws that are suppose to protect us from a "ruling class", but the arrogant and greedy keep finding ways to circumvent those laws. Our biggest enemy however is our own apathy. That's when they generally start to undermine our laws, which they feel justified in doing, because in their eyes, they are superior to the common masses. Democracy requires constant vigilance.

9. It's about keeping his ass out of the Hague
They cannot admit it is torture because in doing so, they admit they are war criminals. They are already face arrest if they leave the country.

16. Bush has been out of the country several times since he left office.
No one is arresting anybody.

20. On the contrary
http://www.reuters.com/article/2011/02/05/us-bush-torture-idUSTRE7141CU20110205

(Reuters) - Former President George W. Bush has canceled a visit to Switzerland, where he was to address a Jewish charity gala, due to the risk of legal action against him for alleged torture, rights groups said on Saturday.

The only country he can go to now is the UK, and even there he faces arrest.

7. I would hope that kind of thing is done as a matter of course

Imagine having to worry about whether the likes of Michelle Bachmann is going to leak sensitive information to the Holy Roller Armaggeddon Cheerleader Gang.

21. The fact that she sits on the Intelligence Committee is a scary thought
Most members of congress don't get a whole lot of sensitive information, but Bachmann gets a good bit sitting on that committee.

17. Impossible and a bad idea
There is probably no way to cut him out completely, seeing as the intelligence community is still replete with his hand picked minions. All you would do by cutting him out officially is lose some degree of monitoring his activities. In other words, you'd just drive him underground.

18. They should do more then that
They should hang him, shoot him and then throw him off a cliff. Then after that they should run over him with a bus for good measure.
