Dick Cheney as a weapon of mass destruction

#####

Cheney biographer Barton Gellman, whose ground-breaking new book, "Angler," has been praised even by Cheney supporters, wrote: "Cheney's most troubling quality was a sense of mission so acute that it drove him to seek power without limit. ... (He) did not much admire the way his fellow Americans made decisions. Our fickle loyalties, our emotional swings, our uneven grasp of facts, our failure to see the main point, our logical errors — all the things that made our collective conversation so unlike Dick Cheney's conversation with himself — brought the vice president close to saying he need not bother listening."
