Great interview Arianna you are right to the point as always! - Thank you!
Also Keith is getting better again with his shows, for a while he was to stereotype bashing the dead fish over and over - I am talking about the Republican Party of course.

I notice an increasing number of rightwing supporters are now posting on this forum...their input makes the threads interesting...the responses to them makes for even more interesting reading...they soon find out they are not preaching to the choir here...their faulty logic falls flat...QUICK...

I think they receive ‘guidance’ to repeat ovr’ n’ ovr’ the talking pts ‘cause repetition will sway opinion; the worst form of sophistry.

The more Cheney talks the deeper into do do he gets.
If he keeps talking he will rewrite history his way. He brags torture works, even though it is illegal. Don't you think it's time to prosecute this man? He has brought shame to our country, bent and broke laws, killed thousands, moving the deaths to the middle east.
I am hoping this new adm has the guts to prosecute Cheney and gang.
If this government does NOTHING, countries who signed the Geneva convention should prosecute.
Lets get honest,
We invaded a Iraq so we could wipe out their government and went so far to try to place who bush/cheney wanted as leader.
This is not the America I am proud of.
The more I listen to Cheney the more I question his reality.
Maybe sanity went out the window, when cheney spent all those years in his bunker.

OMG first "there is overwhelming evidence of a connection between Iraq and 9/11 / al Qaida..." Then "no not really"

Then "Waterboarding uncovered evidence that saved lives..." turns into "well it wasn't waterboarding per se, it was the whole program..."

What are we waiting for??? Why is this animal not in jail????

Maddow and Olbermann spend a large part of their shows discrediting Faux Noise, Limbaugh etc. dis-information. When you think about it. If Faux/Limbaugh didn't exist then Maddow/OIbermann probably wouldn't.

So although Maddow/Olbermann may be overly left biased they very much rely on facts. They only need to lean left in order to counteract just how outrageously right Faux Noise is.

Time for W and Cheney to walk the plank with all those complicit in their cabal of madness and lies. We must not sit silent now. The world is carefully watching. Justice, must be done.
At least Hitler offed him self in shame and defeat.

Stephen King's novel "It" was about everything that you were ever afraid of. I now think that he should have called it "Cheney".

Let Cheney keep on talking! Every single word he says can be used against him in a Court of Law. The more he talks and lies, the more evidence he reveals of his guilt and the more the Prosecution has to challenge Cheney on his policies that 'saved thousands of lives'.

No matter how much Cheney wishes, he cannot change the Past and he cannot get all the people from the Bush administration to go along with his 'revision of History'. There are those who are ready, able and Willing to testify AGAINST Cheney and his Neo-Con agenda. They just have to wait, patiently, like the rest of us, for Cheney to slip up.

I think that's what Attorney General Holder is waiting for--just keep giving Cheney enough air time and Cheney will eventually reveal the TRUTH. THEN, start the War Crimes investigation...

[WellTickleMeWillie]

As the old saying goes,'give em enough rope and he'll hang himself." I say let Cheney talk and admit his guilt on these war crimes. Then it s up to the DOJ to prosecute or some other country will that is a signature to the Geneva Convention. Can't happen ant time too soon as fara s I am concerned.

[RocknRollChef]

This is turning into a total farce. I would like to see Dick Cheney stand before Judge Judy. "Liar......don't piss on my leg and tell me it's raining!"

[JohnHKennedy]

"revisionist history" for sure. But just treating Cheney as a pariah won't stop the current or next President or Vice President from violating US Federal Laws.

We must prosecute and punish a few of them for the current and future officials to get the message that we the voters won't tolerate their lawbreaking any more.

Prosecute? I'll never let that happen. Unless Pelosi makes me mad, then I'll throw her under the bus, too. Just like Grandma.

[OlongapoEd]

Hardly anybody in the USA is willing to hold those on the right (not just Cheney) to any meaningful standards. So, no matter how many high crimes and misdemeanors Cheney has commited, it is unlikely that anything will actually be done about it. Such is the sorry state to which "One Nation Under God," "The World's Greatest Nation" has been reduced.

[arpoador]

Arianna hopes he will be "treated like a pariah". It reminds me of the Clash's lament (in White Man at the Hammersmith Palais): "If Adolph Hitler flew in today ... they'd send a limousine anyway."

[DDA]

Hey I am going to go out assault 5-6 people, rob three banks and slaughter another 10-15 oh you can't do anything because you see that is in the past and we want everyone to get on with their lives. My admitting to what i did doesn't count either as you see I am justifying but asking you to go forward what is to be gained by going backward boy you Liberals are so foolish always thinking of yourselves.

[furey]

Excellent. But when will Olbermann interview Richard Gage?
