Please watch the video and pass it on.

1. If this is what his friends are saying about him, why the fuck isn't he in prison? nt

[1000words]

4. If Henry Kissinger can still have the ear of the world's elite ...

[awoke_in_2003]

18. including the current administration. nt

[adirondacker]

28. Pretty soon Oliver North will be running the DOD to show bipartisanship. nt

[NYC_SKP]

2. I hope Andrew Sullivan's predictions come true.

That Cheney's legacy was that he brought Torture the US and made it "acceptable", here and around the world, and he joked about it.

[certainot]

12. cheney didn't make it acceptable- IMO limbaugh and hannity and spawn making excuses for it for years

on 1200 radio stations, many of which do it while wearing the logos of our state funded university sports teams, made it acceptable.

cheney just helped set it up- it was all that unchallenged repetition that made it a joking matter, its critics softies and traitors, and made it 'acceptbable'.

[certainot]

15. PS - and because the left ignores the fact that 50 mil a week hear those excuses without challenge

and some will be defending him loudly and forcefully if there's any move to prosecute (that's why he goes on limbaugh), there is little chance of prosecution. same with any of the other bush and reagan criminals. the unchallenged ubiquitous RW radio monopoly of our air waves is the main reason why these criminals walk free, not obama or holder. they have an army of idiot teabagger/dittoheads at their disposal.

[KansDem]

24. Didn't the likes of Limbaugh and Hannity equate water boarding...

...to "fraternity pranks?"

I seem to recall such a dismissive attitude among the propagandists...

[certainot]

34. yep. and that's a major function of RW radio - trivializing, distorting, rationalizing, excusing -

reagan admin and their crimes, election theft, katrina, bush, iraq.....

[dchill]

3. Good for you, Andrew.

Good for you.

[Coyotl]

5. Calling Eric Holder! We have a war criminal to prosecute. Several war criminals actually.

Bush was the boss, so he goes down too.

[zeemike]

8. Nope, that is off the table.

so we can move forward.

[Coyotl]

16. No longer a Nation of laws, rather a nation with privileged war criminals beyond the law.

[polichick]

30. And we can thank President Obama for that - unfortunately.

[Coyotl]

31. Obama should have throw out every Bush US Attorney immediately.

[polichick]

32. Yes, and he still should. He should also stop harboring war criminals. Let Cheney...

and Co. face the music.

[awoke_in_2003]

19. must go after medical marijuana. nt

[gopiscrap]

6. Good now imprison the fucker!

[rhett o rick]

7. Wait, wait, Baba Wawa thinks he is a nice guy.

The ruling class embrace Dickhead Cheney because they dont give a crap about the lives of the 99%.

I swear I heard Baba Wawa say, "Let them have cake." or maybe it was Baba Bush.

This is a class war and their class has all the resources.

[Enthusiast]

26. Baba Wawa said Rush Limbaugh is a fascinating man.

I shit you not.

[rhett o rick]

33. She would say the same about Hitler if he was alive. The 1% dont recognize crimes by their class

against the lower classes.

Baba Wawa doesnt wish us to die, she just doesnt care if we do.

[99th_Monkey]

9. That WAS refreshing

wish it had included the responses by all those
other silent taking heads in the studio looking on.

[grasswire]

13. they were kind of shocked

Sanje Gupta was on the remote screen from somewhere, and he fidgeted noticeably while Sullivan was speaking. Gloria whatshername was very quiet -- usually she is trying to hog the camera.

[99th_Monkey]

20. And Sullivan didn't even talk about Cheney being the Private Prison Czar of the USA. nt

[ReRe]

10. Cheney's "image" will include...

... a red devil's costume, replete with horns and pitchfork. He IS a war criminal and I hope they arrest his evil corpse when he crosses the Canadian border. Will someone explain to me why that man is still living? Does anyone else in the world have a machine like that one in his chest to pump the blood in their body?

[grasswire]

21. he doesn't have the pump any more

He got a heart transplant from a 40-year-old. Feels wonderful, he says.

[ReRe]

23. Oh Gawd...

Say it isn't so.

[zentrum]

11. After you click on the link--

..leave a message on the Anderson Cooper website.

Call for a trial.

[grasswire]

14. good idea

probably a good idea to post on Sullivan's blog site, too

[GreenStormCloud]

17. I don't care.

I know that nothing is going to happen. I know that there is nothing I can about it. So there is no point in gettinggetting my blood pressure and heart rate both up over it. Giving myself a stroke or heart attack won't do anything to him so I ignore him.

[ffr]

22. Aristocratic Cheney. Above the law.

Because the the President does it, it's not against the law. - Richard M. Nixon.

While satisfying to hear these 20/20 speeches, it isn't anything any of us didn't think at the time. Why does it take 8 years for some people to figure out wrong from wrong???

[dougolat]

25. "His legacy: the man who brought torture to America, and was proud of it"

And we live with that damning burden; complicit, shamed, and largely too apathetic to make the drastic renunciation called for by everything we supposedly stand for. George Washington would weep at our fall from grace.

[grasswire]

29. good point

and a fawning press give him face time and ink so he can leer at us with impunity.

[malaise]

27. K & R to spread the truth about

the war criminal of a dick.
