Cheney's criminal family-another chapter

http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2013/04/25/chris-hayes-explains-how-dick-cheneys-son-in-law-deregulated-chemical-plants/

snip:

“Fast forward to 2007, and Philip Perry — again, Dick Cheney’s son-in-law — is at the Department of Homeland Security as general counsel. What he managed to do in an appropriations rider is slip in industry friendly language into the bill that moves the task of regulating chemical plants from the Environmental Protection Agency to the Department of Homeland Security. But DHS is given none of the tools it would need to do that.”

Cheney's son-in-laws turns our nations chemical plants into IEDs. Par for that family.

Nothing to the Bushes, Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz, Bolton the rest of the PNAC and their ilk.

Just like numbers on a corporate balance sheet. The people attached to all the lives with which they so recklessly play are nameless, faceless numbers. It's all risk vs. reward for them. They take none of the risk yet reap all of the reward.

Whoever suggested politicians should be made to scrub the brains of the dead children at Sandy Hook off the walls, floors and ceilings was right. They need to pull the charred bodies of the West, TX first responders from the wreckage of the plant. They need to be made to tie a tourniquet around the stump of a limb that's left on a human body, that has a face and a name, after an IED in Iraq or Afghanistan or elsewhere explodes.

The politicians need to get their hands literally bloody. They don't seem to understand just how bloody their hands are when it's only figuratively.
