Cheney gone wild

For the record:

• Cheney said the president "needs to have his constitutional powers unimpaired, if you will, in terms of the conduct of national security policy."
• Before 9/11, Mr. Cheney was trying to undermine the institutional and legal structure of multilateral foreign policy.
• He championed the abrogation of the Antiballistic Missile Treaty with Moscow in order to build an antimissile shield that doesn't work but makes military contactors rich.
• Mr. Cheney, who quit as chief executive of Halliburton to run with Mr. Bush in 2000, gathered his energy industry cronies at secret meetings in Washington to rewrite energy policy to their specifications.
• Mr. Cheney started agitating for an attack on Iraq immediately after 9/11, pushing the intelligence community to come up with evidence about a link between Iraq and Al Qaeda that never existed.
• When Senator John McCain introduced a measure to reinstate the rule of law at American military prisons, Mr. Cheney not only led the effort to stop the amendment, but also tried to revise it to actually legalize torture at C.I.A. prisons.

What a record. And Bush hasn't said squat, so it can - and should - be assumed that he agrees with everything that Cheney has done, in all it's fascist glory.

Worst.President.Ever.
