RE Cheney: Not Yet Joy in Mudville
We have mixed emotions. Dick Cheney lives on with a replacement blood pumper. He never had an actual heart. His was sold a very long time ago in exchange for something he decided was more valuable. Cheney's crimes are well documented. To paraphrase one of his partners, there are both the knowns and the unknowns. Kay Griggs and Cathy O'Brien added to the Cheney narrative the perverse nature of the man. His fingerprints and DNA are all over 9/11. His reprieve means that there is the slightest hope that he will face justice in the world he created but it's not likely. Taking Cheney to task could lead to a chain reaction involving others at the highest levels right up to this present time so it won't happen.
