Cheney disgraces himself yet again.

Dick Cheney once again is on the Sunday talk circuit spouting his doom, gloom and worse tirade.

Where was this outspoken trait during the past eight years? For eight years, or at least after 09-11-01, Cheney was the man who wasn't there, at one undisclosed location after another, one rarely saw a glimpse of this frightened little man.

Now if it is Sunday, Cheney must be on television slamming the Obama administration for making America "unsafe" when his very appearance on television gives testimony to the opposite. Col. Wilkerson was right when he noted that Cheney is a man who frightens easily, in answer to a question regarding his being at undisclosed locations or otherwise hiding in bunkers since 09-11-01. It was only after the election of Obama that he suddenly lost his fear and began speaking out, which proves once again that in addition to being a coward of the first order, Cheney is also a political hack and, by definition, a war criminal.

Prosecute him and the rest of the Bush team who authorized and got off on torturing prisoners? No, but honor our international treaties concerning war crimes and send them to The Hague. Let the court there do it's job and put these war criminals where they belong, in jail. While it would be just to sentence them to be forced to endure the very procedures they authorized, torture is wrong and that includes doing it to those who have authorized it.
