CIA Director Leon Panetta caused a stir this weekend, when New Yorker reporter Jane Mayer quoted him saying former VP Dick Cheney almost seems to want another terrorist attack. Cheney has responded, saying he hopes Panetta was misquoted.
"I hope my old friend Leon was misquoted," said Cheney in a terse statement. "The important thing is whether or not the Obama administration will continue the policies that have kept us safe for the last eight years."
Panetta had said of Cheney: "I think he smells some blood in the water on the national-security issue. It's almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it's almost as if he's wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that's dangerous politics."
Dick as usual is lying. He didn't keep us safe before or after 911. (Anthrax anyone?) Still, Dick stopped toruturing in 2006 because he was worried about being charged with war crimes. Yes, bithc all you want, call it enhanced interogation techniques or not, torture is torture. So what exactly, Dick, did think you did?
