3. I simply can't overlook torturing people. Can't. And they got away with it - which doesn't speak well of my country.

Nothing he could have done in life would ever outweigh what he and Bush did in office and even before serving as VP, Cheney was eroding our democracy with his unitary executive promotion - it went back to Nixon with him. Chip, chip, chipping away.

Torturing people, extraordinary rendition, indefinite detentions - all things that eroded due process, which eroded our democracy.

Fuck, the Patriot Act for another example.

He'll never be anything other than a war criminal that was allowed to get away with his crimes to me.

Never.
