I agree in some ways but I still feel that the MSM have done such a good hatchet job that anything he says will be interpreted by many as having alternative agenda and the MSM will immediately show this interpretation whether on TV shows or newspaper referring to the interview(s).

And those who have not heard of him would ignore him as being old and irrelevant.

Yes, they have. And every time each attack goes unanswered it becomes ingrained in the average, uninformed American's mind as the truth and that is the problem. The failure to launch an effective PR counter-attack has been almost criminal. Our troops and our mission require more of an effort in this regard, however uncomfortable it might be or how "unseemly" they find it. This "rising above it all" stuff is not working. We not only have to wage a smarter fight against the enemy abroad, but against the enemy within as well.

Anyway, I just think VP Cheney is one, among many, of the spokesmen who could be used more effectively.
