CIA director Leon Panetta seems to have had enough of Dick Cheney. He recently went public with his belief that the former Vice-President is acting as if he’d like to see another attack on the United States to prove he’s right in criticizing President Obama and his abandonment of “harsh interrogation” of terrorism suspects.

And when that same man is responsible for endorsing the use of TORTURE against Muslim and Arab POWs, without regard to:Human Rights violations, the Geneva Convention, U.S. military guidelines for the treatment of POWs, and most importantly, whether or NOT there’s any REAL proof that any prisoner in question is indeed a “terrorist? Or has “terrorist” connections? When a man is responsible for ALL THAT and then has to wake up every morning, face himself, and TRY to… Read more »
