Rep. Jim Moran: Bush was "clueless" on torture, Cheney was not; people need to be held accountable

http://bluevirginia.us/diary/12604/virginia-news-headlines-thursday-morning

According to Rep. Jim Moran (D-Virginia), "we don't win wars unless we can seize the high ground...recognition of the human rights of people...the United States needs to lead by example" or the world will be a "more dangerous place." Moran adds, "this is a program we should be embarrassed about," and we should "applaud" Sen. Feinstein for her "courage" in releasing this report. Finally, Moran argues that this will be repeated unless we "hold people accountable," that Bush was "clueless," Cheney was not clueless, former CIA Director Hayden "clearly lied" deliberately and "needs to be held responsible."

when it was obvious to most of us at the time that Bush was, indeed, a clueless figurehead and Cheney was actually the Emperor.
