Dec 2014

they told that got so many human beings killed, they should not be walking free anywhere.

Maybe this report was a first step.

I get the feeling that many people in government have been simmering with anger over what they did but could not speak out.

One who does, and doesn't hold anything back, is Colin Powell's former Chief of Staff, Col. Wilkerson. He makes no secret of his hatred for Cheney nor does he pull any punches when he calls him a liar AND a War Criminal.

I have a feeling more will be joining him now.
