I remember the first time that Cheney popped up on a national interview to try his usual litany of scare tactics. I thought to myself “this guy is actually *asking* for something to happen to the US.” Honestly, at this point – I sometimes wonder if he has some right-wing splinter cell that he calls to action from these interviews… like a terrorist leader sending a coded message through a video played on Al Jazeera. With the allegation of his own personal squad of goons, it wouldn’t surprise me if he had some freelancers out there waiting for a phone call (or a *go code* from one of his interviews on Fox News). It seems that Ed is cozying up to my latest conspiracy theory…
MSNBC’s embed code is not working, so here’s a direct link to the video.
After Cheney is [hopefully] tried as a war criminal at the Hague, perhaps the our Attorney General will look into his public statements for prosecution under the Sedition Act.
Whoever, when the United States is at war, shall willfully make or convey false reports or false statements with intent to interfere with the operation or success of the military or naval forces of the United States, or to promote the success of its enemies, [...] and whoever shall by word or act support or favor the cause of any country with which the United States is at war or by word or act oppose the cause of the United States therein, shall be punished by a fine of not more than $10,000 or the imprisonment for not more than twenty years, or both.
