Did you expect anything different? The gist of Cheney's comments to the Heritage Foundation yesterday:
If only we could have broke the law on September 10, 2001.
Yeah, right. 9/11 happened because this administration didn't connect the dots. It wasn't, as Richard Clarke pointed out last year, focused on terrorism. It had its eye on Iraq. It desired a neoconservative policy of intervention and democracy spreading.
Cheney is the most dangerous man in Washington right now. He envisions an executive unchecked, its powers limitless. He is a carryover from the paranoid Nixon years, lacking in the reasoned judgement needed in our political leaders. He supports torture for God's sake!
9/11 has moved from an event that inspires fear and dread into an event that is taking its place in history as a failure of government on all levels. When the text delves into this disaster, the ones in charge will be held responsible.
