dreamdancer 0 #1 July 20, 2009 looking likely... QuoteSo far, the summer has been mild in the Washington area. But for former Vice President Dick Cheney, the temperature is well over 100 degrees. He is sweating profusely, and it is becoming increasingly clear why. Cheney has broken openly with former President George W. Bush on one issue of transcendent importance -- to Cheney. For whatever reason, Bush decided not to hand out blanket pardons before they both rode off into the sunset. Cheney has complained bitterly that his former chief of staff I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby should have been pardoned, rather than simply having his jail sentence commuted. Cheney told the media that Bush left Libby "sort of hanging in the wind" by refusing to issue a pardon before leaving office. Libby had been convicted of perjury, obstruction of justice and lying to federal agents investigating the leak of a former CIA operations officer's identity. "I believe firmly that Scooter was unjustly accused and prosecuted and deserved a pardon, and the president disagreed with that," Cheney said. He would disclose no details of his efforts to lobby Bush on Libby's behalf, saying they would be "best left to history." It is getting close to history time. You do not need to be a crackerjack analyst to understand that Cheney is feeling betrayed -- that he is thinking not of Libby, but of himself, and fearing that, if our system of justice works, he could be in for some serious, uncommuted jail time. http://www.alternet.org/action/141371/could_dick_cheney_go_to_prison/stay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If he does go to prison (And i hope he does) He'll escape within 2 weeks beings as his own construction firm built the the prison to begin with. O' Dick Cheney, the only man i've ever heard of that shot someone in the face, and the guy that got shot apologized to him. -Richard- "You're Holding The Rope And I'm Taking The Fall" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

justinb138 0 #8 July 21, 2009 Hey, they've got to do something to keep the public attention away from the health care bill they're trying to ram through congress right now. Funny how someone lying in the federal government is only an issue when it's politically convenient for one party or the other. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dreamdancer 0 #9 July 21, 2009 QuoteWhat has pretty much escaped notice in the Fawning Corporate Media (FCM) is that the former vice president has also reminded us all that President Bush was the "decider." That unusual word sounded quite macho as Bush strutted about reminding us often that he was also commander in chief. But now, it could be the kiss of death -- for Bush, as well as for Dick Cheney. Here's what Cheney allowed himself to tell Face the Nation's Bob Schieffer on May 10 about "enhanced interrogation techniques": Schieffer: How much did President Bush know specifically about the methods that were being used? We know that you -- and you have said -- that you approved this … Cheney: Right. Schieffer: … somewhere down the line. Did President Bush know everything you knew? Cheney: I certainly, yes, have every reason to believe he knew -- he knew a great deal about the program. He basically authorized it. I mean, this was a presidential-level decision. And the decision went to the president. He signed off on it. Small wonder that Republicans are wincing, although the winces have been largely suppressed. The Washington Post reported recently that many Republicans now consider Cheney a major problem, but cannot say so. The Post quoted one Republican strategist on the Cheney dilemma: "He continues to be a force among many members of our base, and while he is entirely unhelpful, no one has the standing to show him the door." http://www.alternet.org/action/141371/could_dick_cheney_go_to_prison/?page=entirestay away from moving propellers - they bite blue skies from thai sky adventures good solid response-provoking keyboarding Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
