Wouldn’t it be nice if Dick (chicken-hawk) Cheney would go back to his undisclosed location, and take Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaugh with him? All Cheney has to offer is fear itself and he is trying to justify using torture to save his own skin. The very generals that the Bush administration said they listened to have said that not one bit of usable intelligence was gained by using torture. Torture just created more terrorists and puts our troops and country in even more danger.
I don’t give a hoot for those they tortured and would like to see them hang for what they did to our country. What the Bush-Cheney gang did was illegal. Remember the “rule of law” we heard from the Republicans when they impeached Clinton? This is a nation of laws, and nobody is above the law.
Everything Cheney has ever said about Iraq was a lie, and now we are supposed to believe him. This is the same administration that ignored all the warnings about Osama bin Laden before 9/11, and now claims that they “kept us safe for almost eight years.” Cheney said after 9/11 that “it is not a matter of if but when they hit us again.” Now Cheney says we need to keep torture and Gitmo in effect to protect ourselves. He didn’t mention that the Bush administration stopped using “enhanced interrogation” after 2004, so using his logic, they put us in peril. Just go away, Dick.

I may be wrong but I thought the city and county were hurting for money, and that’s why services keep getting cut or eliminated. One thing is evident. There is no shortage of money for lawsuits.
