Much Better Questions for Dick Cheney on "This Week"

[steven johnson]

When you are a Dick, life just falls in your lap.

Although Dick Cheney has yet to appear and be questioned, we know that he will not be asked--and followed up when he fails to answer--the key questions regarding his role in national security in the Bush Administration.

1. You recently commented that you kept the US safe after you started "taking al-Qaeda seriiously". Although the American public was not attuned until after 9/11, al-Qaeda had been well- known by the US government as a major threat. Yet, 9 months into office, after receiving repeated and increasingly panicky warnings from the intelligence community, you failed even to hold a meeting of the principals. Why shouldn't you be accountable for even trying to prevent 9/11?

2. Soon after 9/11 you said on Meet the Press that "Saddam Hussein was contained". What happened, on your watch, between September 2001 and September 2002, to allow Saddam Hussein not to be contained?

3. Your office frequently provided information to Judith Miller on Saddam Hussein's WMD that she reported without attribution in the New York Times. You would then go on-air quoting the New York Times, as if it had gathered information independently. Was that not deceitful?

4. From your scribbled notes, you clearly took a major interest in Joe Wilson's Op-Ed piece, and decided to compromise his wife's secret operations for the CIA in order to score political points. How can you defend outing a CIA agent to make a political point? Explain, please, how outing a CIA agent for domestic political purposes was not giving aid-and-comfort to enemies of the United States?



Much Better Questions for Dick Cheney on "This Week"

1. If I were to ask him these questions I would have video clips ready to roll.

Particularly regarding question 2. He would emphatically deny he ever said that, both before and after viewing the clip that showed he did.

[Enthusiast]

2. There is no news media outlet

in the U.S. that would be allowed to ask these questions of Dick Cheney. This is a preemptive abrogation of free speech. But that's standard operating procedure in a country with a media under the strict control of a propaganda generating intelligence force. Cheney would never submit to these questions, anyway, unless dragged before a court of law.

And imagine, these are questions that we do need answers for.

3. Why did your AG stop flying commercial aircraft in July '01? nt

4. He would walk out of the interview

Those questions don't fit his goal of re-writing history.
