Obama’s Cheney Dilemma

Cheney should be brought before the world court. How can we Americans sanction his decisions, his extreme brutality, his total disrespect for a human life?

He is an guillty of worls crimes as those that we have pursued in the past.

It is unfortunate that President Bush was such a weaklim.

We must do what we need to do to survive.

We must do what we need to do to survive. History is written by the survivors.

The bottom line is overtuen EVERYTHING that the Bush-Cheney-Nazi administration did.

I thought that journalist were not suppose to take sides. Clearly these "journalist" have an agenda. I consider it unprofessional, disrespectful and un-American.

Torture in any form not ok!!. We insult ourselves and our nation if we lower ourselves to their standards.

Can Chesney be brought before a Court of law, and charged with crimes?

no uniformed member of an opposing military should ever be tortured or treated inhumanely by the U.S. if Bush or Chaney had ever spent one minute in combat they would no why. However traitors , spy's and terrorists should be treated in a different way but they should never be physically tortured.

Torture in any form is not ok. Its not ok when they do it and its not ok when we do it!! That being said we lower ourselves and our nation if we lower ourselves to their standards.

so many idiots....9/11 was an inside job. how blind do you have to be to realize that? the bush regime planned and allowed it to take place.it was made to take away your civil liberties and have you living with fear and anger so that way you can be controlled better and not pay no mind to the crimes and tyranny they were commiting. all the signs and evidence are there...look closely. dont believe everything you see on tv or read. the bush regime walked all over the constitution and used it to wipe themselves. so did you all really feel safe? did you feel safe knowing that your own country was listening to your phone conversations? neo conservatives did such a good job programming most people minds and had them like a herd of cattle. they made an enemy for us to hate to distract your simple minds. the situation was a bit like george orwell "animal farm". the bush regime was the most tyrannicle administration ever. isnt our america suppoed to be free? we are lucky things did not get worse than they are.and its true, how can you say obama is the worst president now. hahah are you that stupid to think that bush was a genius president that him and dick cheney had the best interest for us americans? its stupid people that voted for them,yeah 2 years...im glad to say i had no part in it. some of you eventually realize the poor decision you made. at least you realized that. im not saying obama will be the answer to americas problems but at least the bush regime will be history...yes a dark part in american history.

"Many federal officials have grown risk-averse, fearing that they will be prosecuted or dragged before a congressional committee for fighting too hard against terrorism. (A growing number of CIA officials buy insurance policies to cover legal fees.)"
I don't blame them. What happens if we're attacked again because everybody's playing CYA (Cover Your As*). Then Obama will be blamed for hamstringing our intelligence agencies.
The tenor of the article continues to show Newsweek's anti-Bush bias.

either charge the guy or deport him back to where ever he comes from ,in either case you get rid of the problem

What an absolute joke of an article. It's hilarious when Mickey Rourke has a better take on it than these authors' obvious agenda. Thankfully, it was free to read.

It is complex, and yet, by fate, if not by design, we, the people, could not have chosen a worst candidate to carry out the job of POTUS. Dick Cheney's power grab combined with George Bush's lazy inattention are what have weakened our country. Fortunately for us, we have a fail-safe system that stopped us from going under just in time. It is not as if other Presidents before George Bush have not used torture in a time of war or even in peacetime to prevent a crisis from escalation. It is that they don't smirk and stand under a Mission Accomplished sign. They also do not shoot at people who agree or disagree with them, willy nilly, and THEN claim to be a good shot or unebriated.

The press will continue to make a case for transparency, but while you proclaim the virtues of Cheney's gravitas or exagerrate Bush's ADHD, it would bode us well to acknowledge that the press has become lazy and self-indulgent. Peter Jennings once covered the news without making it about himself. Brian Williams continue to do so. Why is it that we now have Chris Matthews on one side and Bill O'Reilly on the other side, who confuse news with playing newsclippings and shout over the people they invite to be on their programs if other correspondents and respondents do not agree with their world view.

It would be an oversimplification to think that corporate greed will ultimately dictate that they get out of the news business once they have reached the conclusion they can no longer make money. In an utopian world, that would indeed be the case. In the real world, another Bush will run for president, since old habits die hard. What is certain is that Bush/Cheney have lowered the bar so much for the idea that a President can serve the people and respect the Constitution that even John McCain or Sarah Palin actually looked good in comparison. The only way Obama can look bad is for Republicans to start playing the race card or the experience card as soon as he gets started and start blaming the end result of their corruption and their failures on him. Even then, his imagination and intelligence will still win out. Why do you think he invited Rick Warren?

This s a purely Editorial piece of fluff disguised as news... what a joke...

we will be just fine if we bring our troops home and worry about us indtead of countries that don't give a rat's ass about us. that DICK shouldn't tell anyone how to try to run our country. last time i checked, we are in the crap hole cause of satan A.K.A DICK!!!!
