Dick, Elephants and this just in.. May 13, 2009

If Dick Cheney wants so very much to be in the spotlight how about we bring him up on those overdue war criminal charges?  If he needs attention, this would be a fine way for us to reveal it.  Those that say he is a believer and really thinks his way in the only way, I say, as he did – so?  He broke the law and needs to be punished. Oh oh – this just in –  President Barack Obama is seeking to block the immediate release of hundreds of photos showing U.S. personnel allegedly abusing prisoners in Iraq and Afghanistan.  Is this right out of the Bush/Cheney playbook? An Obama administration official said Wednesday that the president told his legal advisers last week that releasing the photos would endanger U.S. troops.
