Understanding Cheney

Josh Marshall has a great read on the so-called "dueling speeches" from Obama and Cheney today. I completely agree that, with Cheney emerging as the face of the Republican Party, maintaining a clear perspective on his legacy is very important.

"This is someone who not only organized and seemingly directed a policy of state-sponsored torture. He did it in large part to get people to admit to crankish conspiracy theories he got taken in by by a crew of think-tank jockeys in DC whose theories most even half way sensible people treated as punch lines of jokes."
