Cheney against the rest of the world. again.

Vice President Dick Cheney criticized the notion of applying the Geneva Convention to individuals captured in the course of the war on terrorism in a Saturday commencement address at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York.

"Capture one of these killers, and he'll be quick to demand the protections of the Geneva Convention and the Constitution of the United States," the Vice President said in the Saturday morning speech. "Yet when they wage attacks or take captives, their delicate sensibilities seem to fall away."

Cheney delivered the remarks in the context of moral and ethical lessons disbelief that the graduating cadets at West Point had learned in the course of their study.

If that isn't telling soldiers that torturing is OK then what is?
Just as bad as the terrorists.

You are not my "friend" because you threaten my security.

First, I gotta try to scrub the image of him holding that baby and smiling out of my mind, then I got to erase these words from my head. God, what a fucking hypocrite.
