(28,784 posts)He quickly tried to correct that gaffe, praising Mandela as "a great man." (He also remarked, with baffling condescension, that the African leader has "mellowed," whatever that means.) He had opposed the resolution to free Mandela, according to Cheney, because it was attached to recognition of the African National Congress. "The ANC was then viewed as a terrorist organization," he said. "Nobody was for keeping Nelson Mandela in prison. Nobody was for supporting apartheid."
I guess Cheney would've supported torturing Mandela and others fighting for their civil rights in South Africa since he considered them "terrorists." Good thing we didn't have the laws then that we have now.
