Cheney Cries "Witch-hunt!"

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is an angry man. Why, you ask? Well, Cheney was one of the chief promoters of the Iraq occupation and the policy of torturing “enemy combatants.” He is angry because President Obama may allow the creation of a “truth commission” -- headed by a special law prosecutor -- to determine if federal laws were broken and what punishment, if any, should be handed down. Cheney angrily refers to this process as a political “witch-hunt.” Cheney is attempting to turn the process from an independent, nonpartisan criminal investigation into an act of political retribution by Democrats against Republicans. He is attempting to ward off or stall any possible investigation of himself and others in the Bush administration. I can almost hear the paper shredders now, but the big question is this: Will the mass media buy into his stunt or call him out on it?
