(9,688 posts)Dick Cheney. A man that I never expected to address.
Now, this is DU so I don't suppose Dick Cheney is personally trolling this board. So when I read nonsense that could well be written by Dick Cheney because it expresses the same extremely limited and barbaric viewpoint, I suppose someone else wrote it. Hopefully not for chump change.
That sucks because I think it'd be grand to get Dick Cheney in my (and our) sights one on one. The first question I'd ask is why his focus on US law w.r.t. whisteblowers fails to account for any of the many well proven exceptions that put an universal morality/ethics before the details.
Even if Snowden is wrong according as Cheney's reading of the law, Snowden admits his action and explains his justification in terms of such an universal law.
