It is absolutely incredible to hear him say that these ‘programs’ worked, flying in the face of ALL irrefutable evidence that it has ‘accomplished’ the absolute OPPOSITE, and has instead caused the death of many of our troops, and left ALL Americans far LESS secure.

There is *no* question from the moron interviewer about how Cheney felt about being a war criminal for creating this environment, and committing all of these Crimes Against Humanity and violations of the Geneva Conventions.

Meantime, is Cheney trying to set up an insanity defense with the whole “9/11 Changed Me” thing, when it was him who set it up to begin with?

If I believed in an Anti-Christ, Cheney would be it.

I wrote the following letter to the NYT based on an editorial in today’s edition.  (The link to the editorial follows my letter).

“The The Editor:

“You say, ‘All but President Bush’s most unquestioning supporters recognized the chain of unprincipled decisions that led to the abuse, torture and death in prisons run by the American military and intelligence services. Now, a bipartisan report by the Senate Armed Services Committee has made what amounts to a strong case for bringing criminal charges against former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld; his legal counsel, William J. Haynes; and potentially other top officials, including the former White House counsel Alberto Gonzales and David Addington, Vice President Dick Cheney’s former chief of staff’ (Editorial, Dec. 18).  Why stop at Mr. Addington?

“In a recent ABC News interview, Vice President Cheney openly admitted to having been personally involved in approving “enhanced interrogation” techniques, including waterboarding.  It is instructive to note that at the post-WWII ‘Tokyo Trials’ - initiated and led by the United States, along with the UK, Canada, Russia, China, Australia and others - waterboarding was unanimously considered among the most abhorrent forms of torture - a ‘crime against humanity’ - and Japanese military personnel who were found guilty of it were sentenced to death by hanging.

“There is an old expression: what’s sauce for the goose is sauce for the gander.  Mr. Cheney and the others should be held to the same standards, and should be tried for crimes against humanity.”
