Heads Up

I’ll be on the Chris Matthews show this Sunday, talking Cheney, or as Chris insists, Cheeney. What makes Cheney different is that most people who have authorized war crimes either deny it, or say it was an excruciating dilemma but they had to make the right choice at the time. Cheney is less self-reflective than Pinochet. He actually brags about putting what he calls “duty” before “honor”, as if honor and abiding by the rule of law were not also duties – in fact part of your oath of office.

But I guess when you’ve been caught red-handed torturing prisoners, you go big or you go home. He’s gone big, and as far as I am concerned, he can go to hell.
