I wrote this on my social media- don't let the funereal hagiography make us forget just how corrupt and evil Cheney and W's administrations were. (Yes, Trump seems worse but much of the same self-enriching, warlordism was happening with Cheney/ W, too.) Cheney was enriched via war in Iraq and Afghanistan via his corporate connections to Halliburton and Kellog, browmn and root (a subsidiary that took over commisary logistics for the army during Bush's terms.) He also pushed the start of the Unitary Executive concept thatr Trump has run with and was a fan of surveillance state, extraordinary rendition (aka torture) and a whole lot of other bad shit. Most of the corporate media will be praising him- interestingly CEO Today of all places may have the most honest appraisal I'v seen so far. |
