- freedomjoe, on 04/25/2009, -6/+101I agree totally, Jleopold. I've found his recent media tour to be nothing other than a preemptive defense tour for his own criminal actions, using the standard "offense is the best defense" strategy that earned the Bush administration -- and almost all Republicans-- the reputation for refusing to take responsibility for anything they say or do.
More Orwellian Ministry of Truthiness *****. - jleopold, on 04/25/2009, -3/+91This is really interesting. Cheney's fear would explain why he is on the defensive. But then wouldn't his fear also suggest that he knows he was acting unlawfully? Just a thought
- CosmicSurfer, on 04/25/2009, -3/+64The fact that they cabal was trying to fix the story that the detainees were tortured by low ranking soldiers and "a few bad apples" if they ever got caught was proof of that theory....But i see Cheney afraid of a few other things like Holy water, crucifix, the sun....
- eco57, on 04/26/2009, -1/+60Yeah, Cheney's a jumpy guy. You gotta be careful he doesn't shoot you in the face.
- 666dorado, on 04/26/2009, -1/+59that would explain that chicken(*****)hawk warmonger and his 5 deferrments from serving in vietnam. ***** coward.
- digg4peace, on 04/25/2009, -1/+56oh, he knows that he has acted unlawfully, he knows that he is a war criminal...he is sacred ***** right now...that is why Dick is out there shooting his big mouth off every minute...trying to avert the justice that is is his due.
- ReeferChiefer42, on 04/26/2009, -1/+38That's FORMER Vice President Cheney. Now he's just another senile old man.
- ForumDriv, on 04/25/2009, -3/+35I hope that Maddow is involved in writing the indictment when it is handed down against the former Vice President.
- algaeturd, on 04/26/2009, -2/+31He should be fearful of being prosecuted at the hague. Undoubtedly he's one of the most hated men in America. I know that he's uber rich from all the spoils of profit he pulled in from the Iraq war (convenient) but you can only insulate yourself and your life so much before you just become a prisoner of your own doing.
He will go down in history as America's most failed, most hated VP. Without doubt. - strax, on 04/26/2009, -0/+26What if Dick Cheney was interrogated using all of the "enhanced interrogation" techniques that he approved, until he confessed that water-boarding was torture?
If, after a week of "enhanced interrogation", he does not confess, then perhaps he is not guilty of authorizing torture. - m0tbaillie, on 04/26/2009, -1/+26***** Dick Cheney. Sick, old, malevolent old bastard.
- meese, on 04/26/2009, -1/+26Well, that fits with this story of Cheney's house:
http://wonkette.com/363302/cheneys-new-house-is-ci ...
FTA: "According to shadowy intelligence site Cryptome and the less-shadowy Fairfax County Land Use Plan Details website, Dick and Lynne are building their nightmare dream home on a quiet, expensive McLean road that’s literally about 2,000 feet away from the Central Intelligence Agency HQ in the Langley woods." - angeladtao, on 04/25/2009, -3/+27I agree that Cheney is and has been living in fear. I have an article here that says that conservative, in general, scare more easily. When I read it, it finally made sense to me why I tell people that I come from a place of love now and not fear. This change is a result of my spiritual journey in life. It enables me to be able to reach out to others and to think about the needs and wants of other people instead of always my own self. This was a genuine shift in my development. Before I continue with all this psycho-babble/new age-y weird stuff, read the article and see if it makes sense to you. I have felt more compassion for conservatives, and yes, even, Cheney, since then. Who wants to build their life and their world around fear? That really is Hell on earth.
http://blog.wired.com/wiredscience/2008/09/fearmon ... - novenator, on 04/26/2009, -1/+23Any man that has a man-sized safe is fearful. That many secrets demonstrate a lack of courage in being open and honest.
- korn91313, on 04/26/2009, -2/+23That's what this nation needs, people who will stand up to tyranny and uphold the constitution. ***** Cheney, Rove, Bush, Gonzalez and all the rest of the goons. I don't care how much money goes towards these prosecutions, as long as it happens.
- sluggybuggy, on 04/26/2009, -0/+17Cheney learned from the Nixon administration that it's not the crime that does you in, it's the cover up. That's why he's been going out on tv and talking to the press. This way it's a difference of policy and not crimes against humanity.
- ZWarren69, on 04/26/2009, -1/+16Wow! Investigative Journalism isn't dead, yet.
- dlan4327, on 04/26/2009, -0/+14He can dole out the pain but he still frightens easily himself?
This makes him a... Bully? Figures. - semperfidoordi, on 04/26/2009, -1/+15Good god go away already.
Cheney, Blago, gtfo! - MakanGuru, on 04/26/2009, -0/+11one word - wuss
"In politics, what begins in fear usually ends in folly."
---- Coleridge - zunipus, on 04/26/2009, -2/+13Cheney is the most incredible ass. All he's busy doing is covering that incredible ass.
As for the revealing journalism show here, where was it while the Bush League criminals were perpetrating their crimes? At the time it was inconvenient. Now that the Neo-Con-Jobs are out of office, it's OK to point out their psychosis.
Meanwhile, there was no 'over reaction' to 9/11. All one has to do is read the crazy documentation that planned the Iraq war in 1998 over at the website for The Project For The New American Century. 9/11 frighteningly fit perfectly into their manifesto to get the public to fall for an Iraq war. It has been proven that the day after 9/11 planning for the Iraq war was begun. Never was this a 'war on terrorism'. It was always about the invention of an Iraq war. Cheney was a member of PNAC and so was the majority of the Bush League cabinet. Surprise. Thousands of dedicated American troops died and were maimed for life over this insanity. - m3arvk, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10Even if it worked it's still illegal. Period. End of story.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+12cheney is a pussy
- asaone, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10We as a nation need these investigations to take place as soon as they can get it done. The former Veep is not above the law.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -0/+10He wouldn't survive 12 seconds of waterboarding. Man has a crippled heart.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -2/+10her being a lesbian is relevant how?
- ryanonfire, on 04/26/2009, -2/+10Who is that lady? she's good
- Peekman, on 04/26/2009, -1/+8..................... there's no use in explaining the difference is there :(
- mazaj423, on 04/26/2009, -0/+7The info was not irrelevant the Retired Col. was pointing out that Cheney Like most Neo cons never served in the military. he was saying they talk tough but when it came time for them to step up and serve they found a way out of it. That's why he called him a coward
- bcamp1973, on 04/26/2009, -2/+9Being afraid and being conservative usually go hand in hand...
http://pagingdrgupta.blogs.cnn.com/2008/09/18/poli ... - novenator, on 04/26/2009, -1/+7lmao. what a good 'hunter', huh?
- AndrewDB, on 04/26/2009, -1/+6Do me a favor o0lIl0o ..
Go get waterboarded. Voluntarily.
Tell them not to stop. Whatever you tell them.. tell them you don't want them to stop.
Make it a game for them.
Submit yourself to it.
Then tell us you don't think it's torture. - superterrorizer, on 04/26/2009, -1/+6I had this dream once, of dick cheney running from a man chasing him with a microwave. Maybe it wasn't a dream, I might have been high.
- inactive, on 04/26/2009, -0/+5"President Obama will not keep this country safe" -some republican
thanks for your sarcasm, angrygorilla - MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -1/+6"The Hague's a joke."
Milosevic thought the same thing. - Morky, on 04/26/2009, -2/+7Hey genius, Britain had decades of experience with terrorism before 9/11, and they learned from experience that torture does not work. Bush and Cheney had that information and chose to ignore it.
Abu Grahib was when the administration's torture policy first came to light, and she was pointing out that the documents Cheney is seeking to declassify were the ones created to defend the policy that led to the Abu Grahib scandal.
But I'm sure you don't care about facts. Folks on the fringe never do. - Morky, on 04/26/2009, -0/+5It doesn't matter if he thought is was the right thing to do for the safety of the country. All legal precedence and expert opinion clearly show torture to be illegal and ineffective, and Cheney knew this. His opinion and that of the President differed from nearly all experts, and that is all that mattered to them. It will never happen, but they should both be in prison.
- TheSwashbuckler, on 04/26/2009, -1/+6Conservatives are more easily scared. It's why they don't care about torture and it's why they use fear in their election campaigns.
- MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4"I don't know about the rest of you, but I like ALL my journalism to be snake-free. "
Well there's your problem. Rachel Maddow isn't a journalist, she's a news commentator. She can be as biased as she likes, it's kind of her job to give her opinion of news stories.
If the network shows that bias in the actual news, then there's a problem. - taosk8r, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4Damn it.. I was hoping from the summary that the video would show him getting startled by some loud noise and screaming like a bitch.. Oh well..
- dstz, on 04/26/2009, -1/+5"But then wouldn't his fear also suggest that he knows he was acting unlawfully?"
Paranoia and fearfulness wouldn't be called so if they were rational behaviors. Rational paranoia is prudence.
Incredibly, we have different words to express different things. - bcamp1973, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4ignorant stupidity. exactly what you'd expect from a right-wing ass hat. go back to your trailer and shut the ***** up.
- MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4"bla bla bla, what about prisoners being raped and choked by huge black dicks in the u.s prison system. Our prison's are far worse than what happened to these alqueda and taliban."
The guards do that? - edjenkins234, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4Lets leave that to a prosecution lawyer eh?
- lowbot, on 04/26/2009, -0/+4Her show is an editorial show. Fox's non-editorial content is editorial. Dig?
- Lomstradamus, on 04/26/2009, -0/+3so that "he" could put a strap-on dildo on and and give Cheney what he's been giving America (a good a$$ F*cking)
- MWeather, on 04/26/2009, -1/+4If you're going to call someone a moron, please use proper spelling.
- uRmyHartBstopR, on 04/26/2009, -0/+3The bag of bones still lying and pulling strings? Ugh... shoo shoo go away.
- akhomestead, on 04/26/2009, -2/+5Fear and love are the two most powerful emotions. You can't blame him for using it to get more power, that's what politicians do, you blame yourself for falling for it.
Don't for a second think this is only used by the GOP. It's a political move that is shared by all. Some use war, some use economy, some immigration and some use other politicians. Understand their agenda and the fear goes away… Except then you might fear the agenda but life’s not perfect I guess.
However Cheney is scum. His nickname "Darth Vader" is very fitting. - Blasphemous88, on 04/26/2009, -1/+4This is simple tactics on the part of Cheney here. He claims to have knowledge of documents that show how well torture produces results and announces he is officially requesting the documents be released. He does this to give himself and his cronies some credibility making the current administration look like something is being kept under wraps. Its just that simple. Then, when and if the documents are released, they will likely show some obscure inconsequential evidence that thy did indeed get SOME information from torturing xyz person; proving nothing because no one is denying good information comes out of torture once every blue moon. So Cheney will then exaggerate the findings claiming they clearly vindicate everything he has been saying. The GOP will rally behind him and call it a victory, the reasonable individuals will see through it and laugh about everyone falling for Bush era tactics prevailing even still, and at the end of the day the Obama administration has the burden of responsibility to see to it these guys pay for their crimes or pardon them and take a credibility hit from me. All of this is a song and a dance. Its a time consumer. Its a big show to watch so that at the end of the day the same exact decision has to be made regardless of whether that show ever existed.
