Cheney Uncloaks His Frustration With Bush

'Statute of Limitations Has Expired' on Many Secrets, Former Vice President Says

By Barton Gellman
Washington Post Staff Writer
Thursday, August 13, 2009

In his first few months after leaving office, former vice president Richard B. Cheney threw himself into public combat against the "far left" agenda of the new commander in chief. More private reflections, as his memoir takes shape in slashing longhand on legal pads, have opened a second front against Cheney's White House partner of eight years, George W. Bush.

Cheney's disappointment with the former president surfaced recently in one of the informal conversations he is holding to discuss the book with authors, diplomats, policy experts and past colleagues. By habit, he listens more than he talks, but Cheney broke form when asked about his regrets.

There is no statute of limitations on war crimes. Especially not the ones committed by you and your cohorts.

2. Gee ... is Cheney going to declare himself an "independent" like
all the other worshippers of Bush have done since November 2006?

5. It's been a while since I've read Angler,
but it just seems like this article by Bart Gelmon is setting a different tone than that in his book.
