Maintaining his stature as one of the most forceful defenders of the Bush Administration's defense policies former Vice President Dick Cheney accused President Obama of committing "libel" against CIA interrorgators on Wednesday.
Mr. Cheney’s criticized the Obama White House in a wide-ranging address on foreign policy matters for abandoning commitments to allies in Poland and the Czech Republic in favor of the Russians, sacrificing American intelligence officials to satisfy the political left and "dithering" on taking action in Afghanistan, among other things.
The speech, delivered to the Center for Security Policy, comes as the White House considers U.S. Commander of Afghanistan Gen. Stanley McChrystal’s request for an additional 40,000 troops and struggles with the legal consequences of shutting down Guantanamo Bay. On the domestic front, most of political Washington is consumed with massive health care reform plans moving through Congress.

In the speech, Mr. Cheney charged that President Obama has "filled the air with vague and useless platitude" when talking about torture and by calling enhanced interrogation technigques "torture" he has committed “libel” against CIA interrogators whom Mr. Cheney described as “dedicated professionals who acted honorably and well, in our country’s name and in our country’s cause.”

....fight on Dick!!....don’t let the bastards wear you down.
BTTT
Arrest the Kenyan Punk for Treason.
God Bless Mr. Cheney!
Every day it becomes more apparent that the previous presidential ticket was upside down.
Thank you so much, Mr. Cheney, for continuing to speak out against the ones who wish to bring our country to its knees. You, sir, are a man’s man.
His service to our great nation continues. He could quite easily slip into a well deserved retirement, but calling BS when he sees it, especially when it is harming those doing the heavy lifting is greatly appreciated.
And may God PROTECT Mr Cheney as well.
That will piss off the zombies in the White house and their nuts in the press
Gooooooooooo Cheney!!!!
I suggest an investigation is needed into the behavior of Barack Hussein Obama and Eric Holder for treason against the US!!!!
Yep.....I do! And Cheney’d be just the guy to do it! :)
Ask Mr Cheney. He'll agree with me, and not you.
I thought libel was written lies and slander was verbal lies?
Thank you Mr. Cheney. Would that you are the one in the Whitehouse right now. I could sleep soundly and safely at night.
Matthews, Olberman and Maddow will be rabid, foaming at the mouth about this for a least a week. A real man is just beyond their comprehension.
Dick Cheney is the best and he loves America. Lynn Cheney is also fighting back. May God bless them with lasting health
He also called Obama on his administration’s lies this past weekend.
GO CHENEY!!
Now if only we could have him committed.
“I thought libel was written lies and slander was verbal lies?”
