Remember, Cheney was the guy who played a key role in the Bush administration's illegal torture program. You know -- the illegal torture program that was based on tactics invented by Maoist China and turned our country into a pariah state.
And remember, Cheney was the guy who was supposed be on the lookout for terrorist attacks in the summer of 2001, but was too busy plotting out ways to attack Iraq to listen to warning after warning about how Al Qaeda was about to kill thousands of Americans. Cheney let 9/11 happen on his watch.
American history has had its share of villains -- J. Edgar Hoover, Joe McCarthy, and Richard Nixon come to mind as some of the worst -- but there is no one in recent history who has disgraced our country quite like Dick Cheney has.
He lied his way into an illegal war, profited off that war, and shredded the Constitution. He's a war criminal and has the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent people on his hands.
Dick Cheney should be rotting in a prison cell at The Hague, not writing editorials for the Wall Street Journal.
