Lawrence Wilkerson on Dick Cheney's "In My Time: A Personal and Political Memoir." 1 of 2

DemocracyNow.org - As former Vice President Dick Cheney publishes his long-awaited memoir, Democracy Now! speaks to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief-of-staff to Secretary of State Colin Powell. "This is a book written out of fear - fear that one day someone will 'Pinochet' Dick Cheney," says Wilkerson, alluding to the former Chilean dictator, Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested for war crimes. Wilkerson also calls for George W. Bush and Cheney to be held accountable for their crimes in office. "I would be willing to testify and I would be willing to take any punishment I am due," Wilkerson said.

"Dick Cheney goes around the country profiting off of this sleazy, sensationalistic, self-serving book, basically profiting from his crimes and at the same time normalizing the idea that of these kinds of policies ... are perfectly legitimate choices to make, and I think that is really damaging legacy from all of this," says Greenwald.

Wilkerson said that he'd testify against Dick Cheney for #warcrimes at 'my own expense.' I love Col. Wilkerson ~he's one of the rare ones.

I wonder how the Teabaggers would respond to Col. Wilkerson. The Conservative Republicans are the ones who say they love and cherish our nation's veterans so much, but just watch how they would treat Col. Wilkerson for speaking out against Bush, Cheney & co.

Why were no charges brought against the people who fabricated evidence that put so many American lives and resources to waste? Cheney should be in prison and so should Tenant.

"We have about 50% of the world's wealth, but only 6.3% of its population. Our real task is to devise a pattern of relationships which will permit us to maintain this position of disparity without positive detriment to our national security. We should cease to talk about unreal objectives such as human rights, the raising of living standards, and democratization. [W]e are going to have to deal in straight power concepts." -George F. Kennan, U.S. State Dept Policy Planning Study 23, February 1948

Quote, True American Col Larry Wilkerson, "Dick Cheney is EVIL!"

[@rosiethebear300]

I think he should get a taste of his own medicine. Since he is so fond of water boarding, I wonder he like it.

[@uselessagent7342]

Sounds like CP might be get a little bit more respect from me since all Cheney wanted was EVERYTHING and kill everything in his way

Oh look! It's good old Four-Deferrment Cheney! What's up 4D? "What strength and national security mean is a willingness to send other people's children off to war to risk their lives to kill large numbers of civilians in foreign countries." ~ Glenn Greenwald, July 2011, Chicago, Illinois "It doesn't matter what the American people think." - Richard B. Cheney 2006

"The State Department did not serve the President well." Meaning the previous Black Man refused to go along with the madness. Charming, Dick. Charming.

“Hence likewise they will avoid the necessity of those overgrown Military establishments, which under any form of Government are inauspicious to Liberty, and which are to be regarded as particularly hostile to Republican Liberty: In this sense it is, that your Union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty, and that the love of the one ought to endear to you the preservation of the other. PRESIDENT GEORGE WASHINGTON; Farewell Address; 1796
