1. Dick has nothing to fear. Harry Reid will never let it happen.

6. Yeah well... criminals live in fear for a reason
because they know deep down that what they do is wrong, and they fear constantly that they will be held accountable. The man is a paranoid psycho...

8. I agree - if he was not fearing something real, he would be dealing directly with the govt

he is going to be put away if all that is certainly going on behind the scenes is any evidence. This man sold America's soul for revenge and an attempt to sell a war. It should be treated as treason and dealt with as such. I believe the penalty for treason is very specific.

12. It’s not a question of “if” it really is a question of when!
JUAN GONZALEZ: Vince Warren, I want to play one more part of former Vice President Dick Cheney’s speech yesterday and then get your response.

DICK CHENEY: Over on the left wing of the President’s party, there appears to be little curiosity in finding out what was learned from the terrorist. The kind of answers they’re after would be heard before a so-called truth commission. Some are even demanding that those who recommended and approved the interrogations be prosecuted, in effect treating political disagreements as a punishable offense and political opponents as criminals. It’s hard to imagine a worse precedent filled with more possibilities for trouble and abuse than to have an incoming administration criminalize the policy decisions of its predecessor.

VINCENT WARREN: That is a tremendous amount of nonsense. This is not a political disagreement. What has happened here, this is arguably some of the worst and notorious criminal activity committed by government officials in the history of the United States.
So, what we really need to be focusing on is, once the criminal activity is exposed, what is this administration going to do about it? This is not about partisan wrangling in the Beltway. This is not about respectful policy disagreements. This is about torture. This is about illegal activity that was engaged in by members of the administration and military operatives and CIA operatives under the Bush administration. And it is absolutely beholden on this administration, and in fact required under Article IV of the Geneva Conventions, once this information is out there, specifically around torture, to begin an investigation. It’s not a question of “if”; it really is a question of when he’s going to do it.
