Cheney's Cheney - David Addington: "No American should think we are free"

http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-detainee27-2008jun27,0,4439371.story



<SNIP>

David Addington, Cheney's current chief of staff and former legal counsel, gave up few details about his role in introducing tactics used at Guantanamo Bay and with CIA prisoners. But he seemed to relish arguing with members of Congress as he maintained that America remains under threat of terrorist attacks.

"Things are not so different today as people think," Addington said. "No American should think we are free, the war is over, al Qaeda is not coming."

This man represents VP Cheney, one of the most vile Assholes in Amerika.

The House refuses to start Impeachment Inquiry of this criminal VP. Why?

6. This of this from any Despot's POV
We are at war. During war, all rights are suspended in the name of national security. Since we aren't actively hunting Al-Qaeda, they still remain a threat, therefore no "rights' have been restored.

Works out nicely for the despot, doesn't it?
