[Eric Blair 2084]

Dick Cheney has always been a decent man and strong conservative. And he's always the smartest guy in the room. Cheney is doing what Bush couldn't do in eight years and now refuses to do, what the Republican congressional "leadership" is too scared to do - he's taking the liberals head on and articulating the principles he followed and we still need to follow to win the war on terror. God bless him.

I'm sorry. IMHO, former POTUS and VPOTUS have no business criticizing a current administration....ever. Cheney didn't like it when Jimmy Carter did it. Bill Clinton had enough sense to stay quiet.

Dick should do the same. Those rules don't apply to anyone else who wasn't in the top 2 positions....criticize as much as you want.

Under the old rules Zero and Slow Joe wouldn't be criticizing Bush and Cheney, much less saying what they did was illegal and threatening to throw their lawyers in jail. Declassifying confidential attorney client correspondence, declassifying secret interrogation memos and photos, all just to trash the preceding administration.

A very big line was crossed here and it wasn't Cheney who crossed it. In light of the unprecedented assault by an incoming Democrat administration against the preceding Republican administration Cheney would be a fool not to defend himself and his principles. And he's no fool.

Didn't anybody ever tell you that smokin that sh!t screws with your memory?
