Cheney: A Lesson in Hypocrisy - Valentines Day Edition

This morning, Dick Cheney once again exhibited breathtaking hypocrisy and convoluted logic to justify attacking the Obama Administration on foreign policy. Cheney repeated his debunked claim that the Obama Administration does not recognize that the United States is "at war" with Al Qaeda, when the President has repeatedly declared we are. The former Vice President also used bizarre logic to assert that the Bush Administration mirandizing Richard Reid was different than Abdulmutallab because Reid later plead guilty - a ludicrous differentiation as it happened well after the fact. Cheney also claimed that waterboarding should have been left open as an option to use on Abdulmutallab, despite the fact that he is giving up information without the United States resorting to torture. But Cheney conceded that he was just as isolated in his opinions regarding torture when the Bush Administration debated it. Just as he was wrong and out of touch then, he remains so now.

Last night during an interview on the Daily Show, Newt Gingrich attacked the Obama administration over the decision to mirandize the Detroit bomber. When host Jon Stewart pointed out that the same decision had been made under President Bush to mirandize shoe bomber Richard Reid, Gingrich responded that Reid was "an American citizen." The only problem? Richard Reid is actually a British citizen.
