There is evidence that some officers violated the law. It's a testament to Cheney's total lack of conscience and moral courage that he has no respect for the rule of law. When there is probable cause that a law has been broken, the Oath of Office to defend the Constitution requires an investigation.

But then Bush and Cheney both violated their Oaths of Office and the Constitution so many times, I don't think we can expect much else from him. I pray he simply fades away into irrelevance quickly.-

You and others ignore that there was an internal CIA investigation back then and they disciplined the one and only violation of the rules. Firing a gun in a nearby cell. The files were turned over to a Justice Dept. attorney and he chose not to prosecute anyone since the only violation had the person already disciplined.

Not at all. Consider this scenario. You're a frantic person and someone slaps you across the face getting your attention. Right now you've got a president on a drunken spending spree that we will have to make good on once he's out of office. God willing in around 1237 days but whose counting. Add to his spending he wants to add health care. Add to that, he's floundering 2 wars that until his takeover we were winning or at least holding our own. Now there is talk of cutting and running. Much like his campaign promises.

So, no Cheney isn't doing anything wrong in defending the way the last 8 years went. He's fulfilling the role of a former VP. The former president sits back quietly and the VP is the pit bull. The problem you guys on the left are too young to remember that.
The only good that will ever come from history is that now, because of Barrack Obama, Jimmy Carter is no longer the worst president ever.

Obam tells our troops including my nephew who is being sent back to Iraq next week that any prisoners taken in Iraq or Afghanastan must be read their rights...and I say what "rights" are these?
Oboma wants to neuter the CIA who helps keep our troops and country safe in order to take attention away from his ever falling approval numbers and his health care plan that the vast majority clearly strongly oppose.
Obama tells the world we are one of the biggest Muslim nations of the world?"???????? hello.
Obama wants to move terrorist murderers to more comfortable climate controled accomodations in the states where they are not wanted , and we are supposed to ask them what....Mr terrorist murderer sir , could you pretty please with sugar on top tell us of you future plans to murder Americans and their children in mass quantitys?
Putin was qouted as saying he was to the right of Obama in a Russian newspaper and Fidel Castro now supports Oboma
I think the wrong person is being investigated -
