Darth Cheney Reprise

*Updates*
24 hours later, the White House and some politicians are hitting back at Cheney.
My favorite comment comes from Chris Matthews:
"Chris Matthews, at the opening of MSNBC's Hardball, said Dick Cheney is 'attacking the Obama White House for investigating the abuse of prisoners. He is taking the unusual role of defending the CIA itself, an agency he bullied and ridiculed for eight years in his role as vice president. And is he's getting hit by John McCain, who has two advantages over Cheney. One, he knows what it means to be tortured. Two, he knows what it means to serve his country.'"

Reuters also says Obama's National Security Adviser, General Jim Jones, is trying to prove Cheney wrong. Oddly enough, General Jones wants a pullout from Afghanistan. But just because the top commander in Afghanistan didn't request more troops in his report, doesn't mean Obama isn't listening. I know for a fact that Obama holds David Petraeus in utmost regard, he's not going to cause an embarrassment.
