Just A Little off the Cabal

Lawrence Wilkerson, chief of staff to Collin Powell who famously called the neo-cons a "cabal" last month, gives a blistering interview on NPR this morning.

He all but calls Dick Cheney appears directly responsibile for driving a US policy of torture of prisoners at Abu Ghraib and elsewhere, against the wishes of DoD. A typical soft-on-terrorism liberal, former Col. Wilkerson was head of the Marine War College for nine years.

Brent Scowcroft, former National Security Advisor, a personal friend of the Vice President, thinks Cheney's gone off the deep end.

Fortunately, according to Scooter, Scooter has done nothing wrong.

NPR also reported the Orville BABCOCK case, which was the last time a sitting presidential official was indicted. He was an out of control, corrupt advisor, often compared to Iago at the time, to Ulysses S. Grant.
