Cheney warns of new attacks==snip==
If Cheney’s language was dramatic, the setting for the comments was almost bizarrely pedestrian.
His office is in a non-descript suburban office building in McLean, Va., in a suite that could just as easily house a dental clinic. The office is across the hall from a quick-copy store. The door is marked by nothing except a paper sign, held up by tape, saying the unit is occupied by the General Services Administration.

Cheney’s New House Is CIA AdjacentEverybody knows the three rules of real estate: Location, Refinance, Foreclosure. But our best vice president ever, Dick Cheney, is focused on the first part of that maxim by building his “retirement” house literally across the street from CIA headquarters in McLean, Virginia.We’ve had a memorable seven years of Life With Cheney at the Naval Observatory lair, where he and Lynne are the current supervillains in residence. Where might they settle once Vice President Hillary comes a knockin’ next January? Where might they continue their weird, terrible lives of document shredding and ritual animal sacrifice?
According to shadowy intelligence site Cryptome and the less-shadowy Fairfax County Land Use Plan Details website, Dick and Lynne are building their nightmare dream home on a quiet, expensive McLean road that’s literally about 2,000 feet away from the Central Intelligence Agency HQ in the Langley woods.The house and land itself seem utterly unremarkable and quite unfit for Dr. Evil: The property is just under an acre in size and the house will sit pretty close to the neighbors — it appears to be the standard Northern Virginia “custom home” McMansion, with a finished basement most likely outfitted with a human-sized incinerator.
But its proximity to the Spook Capital of America makes it far more interesting as well as incredibly appropriate for the most secretive powerful vice president in history. It also suggests Cheney may pull a Putin when he “leaves office” just 10 months from now, and continue his global reign of terror from the executive suites of the CIA headquarters.
