Why Was Cheney So Quick to Admit He's a War Criminal?
Marjorie Cohn, AlterNet. December 20, 2008.Cheney confessed because he thinks either Bush will pardon him or that Obama won't prosecute him -- but the law would forbid both approaches.

The Cheney presidency
August 26, 2006Historically, the vice president's job was to ceremonially preside over the Senate, attend second-tier foreign funerals, and be prepared for the president to die. Students are taught that John Nance Garner, Franklin Roosevelt's first vice president, compared the job to a bucket of warm spit (and historians say spit was not the word the pungent Texan actually used).
...Cheney is in a class by himself. The administration's grand strategy and its implementation are the work of Cheney-- sometimes Cheney and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, sometimes Cheney and political director Karl Rove.
...If Cheney were the actual president, not just the de facto one, he simply could not govern with the same set of policies and approval ratings of 20 percent. The media focuses relentless attention on the president, on the premise that he is actually the chief executive. But for all intents and purposes, Cheney is chief, and Bush is more in the ceremonial role of the queen of England.
Yet the press buys the pretense of Bush being ``the decider," and relentlessly covers Bush -- meeting with world leaders, cutting brush, holding press conferences, while Cheney works in secret, largely undisturbed. So let's take half the members of the overblown White House press corps, which has almost nothing to do anyway, and send them over to Cheney Boot Camp for Reporters. They might learn how to be journalists again, and we might learn who is running the government.

It's Time To Impeach Richard B. Cheney!
American Chronicle - Beverly Hills,CA,USA
Dick Cheney Rules Mr. Cheney has privatized the job of vice
president of the United States with his secrecy,
impatience with government regulations,
backroom dealings, and disdain for accountability.
Mr. Cheney is dangerous. Congress should remove him. Regardless of his motives...
Cheney's misuse of our troops, betrayal of our people,
and failure to honor constitutional mandates
is rank treason and constitutes a plethora of impeachable offenses.
This cannot stand.
His malfeasance and incompetence have sacrificed our
reputation, credibility, and honor.
In this sordid abuse of office, hundreds of thousands have suffered
or died needlessly
while vast
resources have been wasted.
This travesty must come to an end.
We cannot afford to wait until 2008.

And if you're as amazed, saddened, and angered
as we are—pass it on to a friend, neighbor, or co-worker and help make sure people all over the country see it. Thanks for all you do. Tim Flanagan, www.ActiveResource.org

Dick Cheney has got to go...
The next two years are going to be politically
bloody and difficult ones for the nation and the
world. ...
A public spotlight must be focused on
those who took this nation in to the Iraq War --
and in particular, hearings along the lines of
those that Harry Truman called in the Senate in
1940 to expose war profiteers should be quickly
assembled and legal investigations of the
structural corruption behind this war
launched... ~~Steve Clemons

The Washington Note
Cheney To Head Mafia Written by K.C. Bell, 23 April 2006
Following the recent arrest of Bernardo Provenzano, former head of the Mafia, a vacuum was created soon to be filled by retiring Vice President Dick Cheney. Mr. Provenzano eluded the police (real thing, not old singing group) for the last 43 years, while successfully running the organization from a secret location. Following the arrest, a worldwide search was initiated by several headhunter
In every day's news, inescapable and bloody and increasingly
dismal, there is Iraq. But if it's too discouraging, if the news and
film and forecasts are just too much for you, there is an
alternative.
There is Iraq as seen by Vice President Cheney.
You won't find it on any map, and you won't see it in the news
reports, and United States troops don't seem to encounter it in
their daily patrols, but it's a remarkable, heart-warming place. "They've had three national elections with higher turnout than we
have here in the United States," the vice president told radio
talker Rush Limbaugh last week. "If you look at the general overall
situation, they're doing remarkably well."
...Now, in Washington as
well as in national polling the widespread feeling is that U.S.
policy in Iraq needs a different direction. Senate Armed Services
Chairman John Warner, R-Va., has returned from Baghdad to warn the
situation is "going sideways," and the president has named former
Secretary of State James Baker III to head a commission to
re-examine the policy; nobody expects it to report that the policy
is doing fine.
But in Cheney's Iraq, the
vice president told Time firmly, "(W)e're not looking for an exit
strategy; we're looking for victory."
There, apparently, victory is in sight, and people don't keep
talking about car bombings -- even though, OK, maybe the insurgency
isn't in its last throes. In fact, Iraqis "are doing remarkably
well" in Dick Cheney's Iraq.
Unfortunately, more and
more people keep dying in the real one.
