All Show Business
Last night Dick Cheney went on Larry King to explain that (1) prisoners at Guantanamo have been "treated humanely and decently" and (2) Roxie never killed anyone.
Uh huh. As Chris Floyd says in his latest column, we should be grateful to Dick Cheney, because he makes understanding the world so much easier:
Cheney is a pole star by which we can all plot our course on the roiling sea of spin and propaganda: whatever he says -- anything, on any subject -- is 100 percent guaranteed to be a lie. If you want to know the truth, simply look to the opposite of Cheney's assertions. If he says Iraq has WMD -- it doesn't. If he says the Bush Regime is not engaged in wholesale torture -- it is.
You should read it all.
