Matthews calls Cheney's CIA defense "odd" considering he "was at war with" the CIA "through much of his administration"

Rumsfeld and Cheney were so mistrustful of the CIA that they set up a parallel intelligence apparatus in the Defense Department to give them more of what they wanted to hear.

Keyword: AGAIN.

Odd, indeed. Does anybody remember Marjorie Mylroie? She was a fire breathing NeoCon Troglodyte who was one of the biggest cheerleaders for invading Iraq.

She has now dropped off the radar screen, apparently discredited, but she was highly regarded by the Bushies at one time.

She wrote a book called Bush vs. the Beltway : How the CIA and the State Department Tried to Stop the War on Terror

That title is interesting for two reasons. First, it indicates the friction between the Bush administration and the CIA. Second, it indicates that not everybody in the intelligence community was convinced that Saddam was such a big threat, despite Republican myths to the contrary.

Cheney is guilty of running torture treatment on caputured terrorist.

Cheney has admitted his guilt on several occasions.

I think his attorney should tell him to stop incriminating himself.

Torture is against the law and Cheney knows he broke the law and could end up being indicted.
