Cheney May Well Have Endangered NYC Subway Riders -- All For A 2006 Poll Booster, No Less!


As ever, EW has the goods on Dick -- do go read it all, at that link:

. . .authorities claim to have killed Rauf (and Saleh al-Somali) with two separate drone strikes in late 2008. But it remains unclear whether Rauf actually died in that 2008 strike.

So he may still be out there, because Dick Cheney wanted to boost Bush’s [2006] poll ratings rather than let the Brits develop their case and extradite Rauf into secure custody in 2006.

I’ve been wondering since Zazi was arrested why the right-wingers don’t want to talk about him at all, ignoring the Zazi case to instead squawk about the underwear bomber. I’m beginning to wonder if this is the reason: Dick Cheney’s refusal to let law enforcement work four years ago exposed us to at least three more years of Rauf’s plotting.

A bunch of NY subway riders may have almost gotten killed last September 11 because Dick Cheney wanted to boost poll numbers in 2006 rather than let law enforcement work.

Sickening.
