A lot of us reading this article knew about these crimes in realtime. But most people at the time were completely taken in by the WMD scare. Kinda just exactly like COVID. And Ukraine. And Russiagate.

Apparently if we never have a reckoning, not only will we keep repeating the cycle, but the same evil bastards will keep showing up to do us in all over again!

Cheney must have been the Democrats' supporters #1 hate figure back in the days of Dubya, but looking through today's lense one senses that the party didn't mind him too much, and hacks like Biden and psychos like HRC actually respected him, no doubt "a great patriot" etc etc. I hope the supporters who have stuck with the Democrats are tying themselves in knots trying to convince themselves that with Cheney on board the party isn't a monstrous war machine totally without honour. Dick and the Democrats, it turns out, were meant for each other (swoon)...

The only statement I disagree with here is “Cheney is a master of deflection and projection.” There is no mastery of such things. It is simple done by shedding scruples. “Evil Genius” is an oxymoron.

It's the Donald Rumsfeld type of gig, huge networks. Anyone for aspartame with your tea? Cheyney & the scarved one Birx are all in on it, except she is in reverse, government jobs first then private. Cream rises to the top, as does scum.

I've often wondered how many black market/Chinese prisoners' hearts hes had transplanted to stay alive.

Did the people who invented waterboarding seriously BELIEVE the "confessions" it induced?? Or did they realise from the start that the victims would say anything they thought the torturers wanted to hear in order to get them to stop? I mean, it's not rocket science, is it? OF COURSE this disgusting tactic is going to induce false confessions.

I think they thought they could “ get what they wanted” by any means they deemed necessary. Honestly it puts the C into Criminal!

But they could have just lied and SAID they'd had "confessions". I reckon they must have simply enjoyed the process of waterboarding. Some of those secret agencies seem to attract serious psychopaths.

Those that forget their ( recent) history must surely repeat it . -A version of an old and true saying .

NOTEthe link to the Ali-alibi revelation of conforming to what his torturers demanded to hear -IS BROKEN/page removed-most likely censorship-Suggest updating article with a functioning link-as this played a crucial role in the justification for invasion

Thanks, the original story seems to have been taken down. Link now goes to another article also confirming al-Libi created a story to stop his torture.

Wow you are onto it! I am reading your article from way down the bottom of the workd( one island up from Antarctica !) so your writing is going far abd wide. That’s a Goid thing. Sadly censorship is going even farther abd wider as they try to erase truth telling .

Indeed, Darth Cheney and his spawn are the embodiment of evil. Where are the patriots who lived by the code of "death before dishonor."
