>>Cheney was right when he said we will have to employ criminals to accomplish our goals.<<

Did he actually use the word "criminals",or the less explicit words "unsavory characters"?

Wasn't it Churchhill who explaind to some airhead woman who was being critical of the military in the 1930's that "you and others good people sleep well at night because there are hard young men awake willing to do evil in your name in order to protect you."? Are you sure Rumsfield was saying a version of this?

Cheney was not quoting Churchill or anyone else. And whatever word for criminals he might've used, THAT's what he meant. He clearly stated that we cannot fight terrorists with "good guys" alone.
