We’re all about to get some Dick Down Under. US Vice-President Dick Cheney is coming to town. He’s a man of mystery. He’s a “most happy fella.” And perhaps most importantly, he’s liked by the Decider.
Wait a few years, and people like Cheney will have to be very careful where they travel. Warrants for his arrest will be common. For what? Advocating torture, invading countries for no legal reason and lying to Congress.
Perhaps this time we’ll simply have to make-do with a citizen’s arrest. Of course, the Howard government (and Murdoch press) will welcome Dick with open arms. After all, he is the architect of this.
Now that is scary.
I bet he’s probably going to look for a plot of land to retire (escape) to when the US economy crashes/the war crimes tribunals come after him.
I wouldn’t be too sure that Cheney is still close to Bush.
I’m sure Tim Blair and his orcs will be organising a cheer leading committee to welcome Vader when he lands.
Why would travelling overseas expose cheney to a risk of being arrested for lying to congress?
