The Idiot Logic Of Dick Cheney

via Andrew Sullivan:

Dick Cheney last week:

"And when they see the American government caught up in arguments about interrogations, or whether foreign terrorists have constitutional rights, they don’t stand back in awe of our legal system and wonder whether they had misjudged us all along. Instead the terrorists see just what they were hoping for – our unity gone, our resolve shaken, our leaders distracted. In short, they see weakness and opportunity."

Cheney seems to forget that he is no longer one of the country's executive leaders. So at this point, he, by his own argument, is the one destroying "unity," "distracting" the new president, and "shaking" our resolve. By his own logic, he is now refuting his own position.

By his own logic, he should shut up and wait to be prosecuted by a united government under one supreme leader.
