Is anyone else outraged by the Newsweek cover story on Cheney?
http://www.msnbc.com/news/NW-front_Front.asp?ta=y

I am outraged that Newsweek is giving Cheney a platform for his excuses and his lies.

They're letting him be the bad cop and the official fall guy for the deceptions and the deaths.

They're now letting this be the "official" story. His apologies.

"Gosh, I'm so sorry, I really thought I was doing the best for the country. If I made a few mistakes, they were honest ones. And gee, those incompetent CIA analysts didn't cover my ass."

Cheney is a liar, a war criminal, and a war profiteer. He should be in jail. He should be on death row. Any cover story about him should be counting his days left as a free man at BEST.

Anyone else pissed off about this? I couldn't believe it when I saw the mag in a store just the other day.

1. ?
Did they ask him about the lies he told in his "Meet the Press" interview?

2. I haven't read the article,
just seen the cover, but look at it this way. If this is how they're trying to spin it, that Cheney was fooled, they must be really worried.

4. Read the article and report back
When you know what you are talking about. I haven't read it either so I won't venture an opinion but I find it foolish for one to do so without reading the article first.

5. The last time Cheney was given a venue for his ideas
he hung himself with comments that he had no financial ties to Halliburton. Let the man talk. He's so alone right now.

6. I am outraged about so many things I no longer have enough rage
to allocate toward Newsweek. Maybe if I increase my capacity to express my rage I will be able to rage about all the dumb fucking things these Bushistas do and say. AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHH!

Cheney is a lying smarmy sack of shit.

8. Sounds like he's trying
to pass the buck to the CIA...BAAAAAAD move!

<snip>The inside story of how Vice President Cheney bought into shady assumptions and helped persuade a nation to invade Iraq<snip>

I didn't read the whole article but the title says a lot.

14. Those whackos have been trying for some time to pass the blame to...
...tenet individually and the CIA collectively.

Has the thought never crossed what passes for brains in this group that they started getting all of the bad press when they outed Plame? Since that point in time, the media has been willing to report ANYTHING that reflected badly on the Squatter-in-Chief and his merry little band of squats.

This is an attempt to limit the damage to the Bushies by offering a fall-guy, and right now that fall-guy is Cheney.
