Dick Cheney

Dick Cheney needs no introduction as George Bush’s vice president, and Cheney focused the office tightly so that he will be remembered as America’s first “vice president for torture”!

Cheney, like Bush, has a history of drunk driving. He was convicted in 1962 and arrested again in 1963.

Cheney flunked out of Yale, and, like Sarah Palin, who wanted to follow him as neocon vice president for book burning and wolf hunting, he finished his education at a much easier school.

Cheney, despite his shaky background, is rich. He made his money off Halliburton, which was awarded numerous “no compete” contracts related to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Halliburton also moved its headquarters to Dubai to avoid paying taxes.

Lynndie England

Speaking of torture…

She's "torture girl" Lynndie England. She implemented Gonzales' policy of torture while assigned to Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq.

The photographs of her horrific treatment of Iraqi prisoners have turned people around the world against the United States. One can only hope that it will be seen that she did not act for all Americans.

As a convicted felon, she, like Alberto Gonzales, is having trouble finding work.

Alberto Gonzales

They call him "torture boy" and with good reason. He, more than anyone else, fought to make torture a part of U.S. policy.

He failed, and had to resign as Attorney General. He has been unable to find a job.

Amazing! At one point, President Bush seemed to want to appoint him to the Supreme Court.

He made other serious mistakes as well. He allowed the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) to dupe Haji Bashir Noorzai into coming to the United States. Noorzai thought he would be working with the Americans in Afghanistan. Instead, he was arrested.

Not only does this make Gonzales a liar, but he did grave damage to US-Afghan relations.

To make it even worse, corrupt FBI employees involved in the matter were let off with little more than a slap on the wrist!
