CHENEY TO TALK WITHOUT ANSWERING QUESTIONS
Ahead of the next week's hearings on Bush-era torture, Dick Cheney will take to the air, to countermand the sitting President and undermine the current "war effort", as he and his conceive it.
I wonder if Bob Shieffer knows he's in one of the toughest spots, with this interview, possibly, of his entire and long career?
ANOTHER REASON WHY THERE SHOULD BE A PROPER CRIMINAL PROBE
You can bet that Cheney wouldn't be on the airwaves, quite like this, if there were, right?
I have strong feelings about what happened and what we did or didn't do and what's happening now. And I don't have any reason not to forthrightly express those views.

We all have strong feelings, but it's time that you put yours to the test in front of a jury, maybe? Unless, the intent of "Facing the Nation" is to make that almost impossible?
WHY DOES CHENEY HATE OUR TROOPS?
We're just getting to the point at which the Bush-era doctrines are behind us, with the undisciplined taking of detainees, with a new Army Field Manual, one that is synced with the overall effort in ways that our sitting Generals all believe is apt prosecution of the war.
So why is Cheney out there, ready to undo all that has been achieved? At best, he's "unhelpful", as Rummy would say (did say, of others).
WHAT ARE THE QUESTIONS BOB SHIEFFER SHOULD ASK?
