Description:
DemocracyNow.org - As former Vice President Dick Cheney publishes his long-awaited memoir, Democracy Now! speaks to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief-of-staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. "This is a book written out of fear — fear that one day someone will 'Pinochet' Dick Cheney," says Wilkerson, alluding to the former Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested for war crimes. Wilkerson also calls for George W. Bush and Cheney to be held accountable for their crimes in office. "I would be willing to testify and I would be willing to take any punishment I am due," Wilkerson said.Watch Part 2 for a continued discussion with Salon.com political and legal blogger Glenn Greenwald about his recent article on Cheney, "The Fruits of Elite Immunity." http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MsSDLazFvyg"Dick Cheney goes around the country profiting off of this sleazy, sensationalistic, self-serving book, basically profiting from his crimes and at the same time normalizing the idea that of these kinds of policies ... are perfectly legitimate choices to make, and I think that is really damaging legacy from all of this," says Greenwald.For the complete transcript, to download the podcast, or for information about Democracy Now!, visit http://www.democracynow.org/2011/8/30/ex_bush_official_col_lawrence_wilkersonFOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!

Sep 2, 2011 - A person who engages in evil without remorse or penitence is the definition of a psychopath and mad-man. Cheney is hell-bent on justifying himself before he goes to his grave which yawns eagerly for him. Wilkerson (if he lives) said he will make more public. Here he makes clear that George Tenant lied for Cheney to Powell to sell the Iraq War to UN and U.S., for which he won the Medal of Freedom Award (for an oscar performance). The Neocons thru Cheney hijacked power for the PNAC agenda.

Sep 3, 2011 - Obama decided the law doesn't apply to certain groups of people, mostly rich, powerful people. Also, he's doing most of the same lawbreaking himself, so he's covering his own ass as well.

Sep 8, 2011 - "We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its population. Our real task is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. We should cease to talk about unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization. [W]e are going to have to deal in straight power concepts." -George F. Kennan, U.S. State Dept Policy Planning Study 23, February 1948

Sep 12, 2011 - Who exactly is it that would buy this book? Last time I checked, everybody hates him, and everybody knows he's a liar and a criminal. I mean, I read Greenspan's book but that's because Greenspan is cool-headed, clever, well-read, and evil. Cheney is just evil.

Sep 12, 2011 - Dick Cheney only did what the Ignorant, Arrogant and Apathetic American people LET him do. So lets all quit pointing fingers at this politician and that one. This power shift from the people to the mega wealthy and corporate interest happened on OUR watch, and now our children will pay for it all. So sit back and enjoy the suffering your children and grandchildren will endure because of your ignorance.

Sep 27, 2011 - Look, this isn't complicated - his words give him away. There is nothing "American" about this man. He's an "internationalist" in the rothschildian/rockefellerean sense, he is in no way related to anything associated with "American" values that are tied to the Constitution for the united States (and the Protestant Reformation in the larger picture).Cheney is an evil internationalist-elitist who thinks the majority of the world should be kept under deep controls while the elite class operates

Oct 13, 2011 - Why were no charges brought against the people who fabricated evidence that put so many American lives and resources to waste? Cheney should be in prison and so should Tenant.
