David Addington Cheney's new Chief of Staff from

[merbex]

New York Daily News has reported (via Raw Story) that he will be replaced by Cheney's current chief counsel, David Addington. Addington is, to put it kindly, a real piece of work.

This information comes from a Washington Post profile from last fall.

Where there has been controversy over the past four years, there has often been Addington. He was a principal author of the White House memo justifying torture of terrorism suspects. He was a prime advocate of arguments supporting the holding of terrorism suspects without access to courts.
Addington also led the fight with Congress and environmentalists over access to information about corporations that advised the White House on energy policy. He was instrumental in the series of fights with the Sept. 11 commission and its requests for information.
. . .
Colleagues say Addington stands out for his devotion to secrecy in an administration noted for its confidentiality.

Secrecy, loyalty, confidentiality, devotion... What kind of government do we have? Must be a cross between Enron and Cosa Nostra.

What a bunch of assholes.
