Cheneys should be giving, not getting, an apology
Cheney wants an apology? He should be offering one, not receiving one.

For her part, Liz Cheney, now a prominent right-wing activist, complained that Obama “slandered” the United States by distancing his administration from the Bush/Cheney era torture techniques. “Those are the policies that kept us safe,” she said.

That’s clearly ridiculous, and the fact that we’ve been kept safe for the last several years without torture techniques seems to suggest Liz Cheney’s radicalism is mistaken.

Perhaps most strikingly, Liz Cheney said that Obama, by even talking about the shift away from Bush/Cheney-era torture policies, has done “real damage to our standing in the world.”

Liz, you know what actually does real damage to our standing in the world? Torturing people.

1. Cheney should be getting a conviction. The only apology we owe that buttnugget is that we didn't

prosecute him expediently.

2. NO cheney should be giving hard time in prison
Thats what that war criminal should be doing. Flaunting the law is what he's doing now, breaking the law was what he was doing for 8 years
