It’s about time someone said it.
From Jane Mayer’s article on and interview with Panetta.
CIA Director Leon Panetta on Dick Cheney: “It’s almost, a little bit, gallows politics. When you read behind it, it’s almost as if he’s wishing that this country would be attacked again, in order to make his point. I think that’s dangerous politics.”
It wouldn’t be the first time an extremist got so twisted up trying to prove he was right about how to protect his country that he was willing to sacrifice some of his countrymen to prove it.
