There is nothing funny about state torture, but
US Person found this caricature irresistible. He agrees with the estimation that Cheney was in charge of the euphmistically named program of "enhanced interrogation" of prisoners. But he worked for the President of the United States and he was never fired for what he did. One would think that the receipient of so much human compassion would be more temperate in his reaction to human cruelty. In a better world, Cheney and his boss would be prosecuted for war crimes regardless of what any opinion polls says. What do you expect from
a nation that has the highest incarceration rate in the world, allows its police to beat and shoot suspects, and tolerates violent sexual assaults in its prisons? Fine ideals are found in the Constitution and Bill of Rights; the reality of 'Merica is otherwise as Dick well knows.
