Cheney Remains DNC Target Even As Conservatives Claim Vindication

The Democratic Party -- lest there be any doubts -- is not shying away from making Dick Cheney the face of the opposition even as conservatives insist the former vice president has been vindicated by recent moves from the Obama administration.
The DNC released a new web ad on Tuesday night, mocking the Republican Party -- House Minority Leader John Boehner and RNC Chairman Michael Steele in particular -- as hopelessly and perhaps terminally devoted to the former VP. LinkHere

The Cheney Dare
Lanny Davis: Indict Dick Cheney For Complicity In Torture

I have written many times in this space that I oppose any criminal prosecution of prior-administration officials on torture or other issues relating to the Iraq War and the war on terrorism, especially those CIA interrogators who relied in good faith on the instructions of policymakers and the legal opinions issued by Justice Department senior officials.
I have agreed with President Obama on the need to look forward, not backward.
But I have changed my mind about the need to indict former Vice President Dick Cheney for complicity in illegal torture.
His insistence on putting himself on multiple TV programs and conservative radio talk shows, not only defending torture but offering the defense that it worked, has changed my mind. Not only that -- he went on to attack Mr. Obama as weakening the United States in the war on terrorism because Mr. Obama immediately announced that torture would no longer be allowed.
Dem's fighting words. They are also, in my view, reckless and irresponsible.
They seem to be laying down a marker that in case, God forbid, there is a terrorist attack, Mr. Cheney can be the first to blame it on Mr. Obama's policies and say, "I told you so."
Even more, they seem to be an in-your-face dare by Mr. Cheney to the U.S. criminal justice system: "I am Dick Cheney, I approved violations of the law in the name of the war on terror, and what are you going to do about it?" LinkHere
