As I said before, I think Bush was an good moral man but, Cheyney was not either of those things. I suspect Cheney used his superior intelligence to manipulate bush to run so he could select himself as VP to run the country through his puppet- George Bush. Cheyney himself was unelectable and he knew so he needed a Bush as a likable front man. Everything going on now was either allowed to continue to exist or set up by the Cheney administration. They added to the domestic spying infrastructure (tangible property, spies, legal framework, etc.). If they had worked to tear it down instead of building it up, I might agree with you, but that was simply not the case regardless of how many editorials are written to revise history to their benefit. Cheney even made the rounds last Sunday condemning the NSA whistle blower as a traitor who should be put to death/silenced for treason while defending the domestic spying network he helped to set up - his legacy. We have significantly more people killed each year by standing bodies of water (drownings) than terrorist attacks on U.S. Soil since our countries inception!Yet, terrorist attacks terrify us so much we are willing to tolerate being treated as subjects as opposed to citizens?What about a dirty bomb or nuclear device? What about it? Personally, those things don't scare me nearly as much as a an uncontrollable Government in the hands of a very small number of wealthy powerful family dynasties capable of monitoring my every thought and word while having the capability to send men off to a secret prison because I said or thought something they considered to be dangerous (dangerous to who?).</blockquote>
