Scooter - Behind The Cow

King's July 31 interview of Vice President Cheney dealt mostly with a number of political topics. A sample of the questions from the interview:

How do you deal with it when public opinion polls are stridently   more...against the [Iraq] policy?

But in all cases, they did question themselves. In all cases, they said, well, let's look at it this way. Don't you? I mean the question is, don't you ever say, maybe I'm wrong?

In retrospect, you would still go into Iraq?

Does it pain you when Brent Scowcroft says this is not the Dick Cheney I knew?

Wouldn't you like to be liked?

OK, let's go back. On this program, May of 2005, you said the Iraqi insurgency was in the last throes. Why were you wrong?

In that same interview, you said that the Iraqis were well on their way to being able to defend themselves. Why not? Why are they gone?

To which branch of government do you belong? Are you executive or legislative, or both? We were a little confused over recent statements that you're not in either.

We have an op-ed piece by Walter Mondale, a former vice president, who held your job. And at that time, I guess, up to that time, he would be considered the most powerful vice president. He wrote that: "After 9/11, Cheney set out to create a largely independent power center in the Office of the Vice President. It was an unprecedented attempt not only to shape administration policy, but, alarmingly, to limit the policy options sent to the president."He also accused you of having "a near total aversion to the notion of accountability." How would you respond to that?

Don't you think this administration has also had its credibility problems?

Alberto Gonzales. Do you stand by him?

You're going to stand by him? No doubt about that?

In that regard, "The New York Times," which is -- as you said, it's not your favorite paper, reports it was you who dispatched Gonzales and Andy Card to then Attorney General John Ashcroft's hospital in 2004 to push Ashcroft to certify the president's intelligence gathering program. Was it you?

The "Scooter" Libby trial, did it pain you?

The Senate Judiciary Committee is subpoenaing Karl Rove in connection with the firing of federal prosecutors. Why shouldn't he appear?

But the public might say, what have you got to hide?

So he -- so he [Rove] will not appear?

General Powell says he would close Guantanamo yesterday. Would you?

You have to torture them when they're there?

How come in the past though there's been a question on that?

Have you ever said, "We support certain methods of physical harm"?

What is "enhanced" [referring to Cheney's line 'We support the ability of certain agencies of the federal government to have the capacity to use enhanced techniques for interrogation']?

Sen. Pat Leahy wants to have a chat with Patrick Fitzgerald and then echoed what Schumer said on Face the Nation and acknowledged that commuting Libbys sentence was a great way to buy his silence.
Jane   more...Hamsher:

"George Bush commuted Scooters sentence rather than pardoning him to Shut. Him. Up. The notion that he did it to split the difference and respect the jurys decision is just absurd. He did it to cover his own tracks, which is exactly why Congress should be looking into the whole matter."

I couldnt agree more.

TRANSCRIPT:


Do you have a problem, Senator Leahy, with anything the president decided in terms of the legality of what he did? He was within his right to commute the sentence.

LEAHY: The president has a constitutional right or has the constitutional power to commute sentences of anybody he wants. I wish he had shown more constitutional responsibility. Just as I was critical of some of the pardons by President Clinton, former President Bush or President Reagan, Ive said they have the power to do it, but I didnt think they used good judgment.

It was not a surprise he did this. It was generally assumed, certainly in Washington, by Republicans I talked with, that the president would give Scooter Libby a get out of jail free card. Its interesting he commuted the sentence. He didnt give an out and out pardon. That way Scooter Libby can take the fifth amendment if he wants as far as any testimony before (inaudible).

(CROSSTALK)

BLITZER: Well, I was going to ask you, Senator Leahy. Do you want to hold hearings on this whole issue?

LEAHY: No, because hes got a fifth amendment right that he can still do. I mean, this was, actually in my view, a blatant way of guaranteeing that Scooter Libby would not talk about the things that were done, you know, some of the misleading information given out by Vice President Cheney and the president. They led us into this war in Iraq, and they bought his silence. I can understand why the prosecutor was so angry about it.

BLITZER: Youre talking about Patrick Fitzgerald, your colleague, Senator

LEAHY: Also the fact

BLITZER: I was going to say

LEAHY: Also the fact that he was given, when the president talked about a severe sentence, he was given at the low end of the sentencing guidelines. People have been given much, much harsher sentences than he was given.

BLITZER: Senator Schumer of the Judiciary Committee wants you to call Patrick Fitzgerald to testify before your committee on this whole issue. Do you want to do that?

LEAHY: Thats something I would discuss with Senator Specter before I did, but I know how concerned Mr. Fitzgerald is.

And we may very well find ourselves going down that path. It would do no good to call Scooter Libby. His silence has been bought and paid for, and he would just take the fifth.  less

Petition: http://impeachcheney.org/ Watch Dick Cheney's impeachable crimes, then sign the petition demanding Congress begin impeachment hearings. 14 Representatives currently support H. Res 333, 3 articles   more...of impeachment outlining Vice President Dick Cheney's crimes.

The American Research Group recently conducted a survey that 54% of those surveyed supported the impeachment of Dick Cheney. My first reaction was Why so low? Id like to see exactly how the framed that particular question (and what other questions were surrounding it) to get an idea of why exactly someone with an approval rating at or nearing the single digitsof whom a majority believe he may have committed illegal actswould not merit at least an investigation of articles of impeachment in a larger majority of those surveyed.

I tell you, its a concept that needs more consideration. The idea of starting with Cheney certainly has a logic and appeal to it on many levels. Robert Greenwald and Brave New Films has a new ad out supporting Dennis Kucinichs HR 333.
