Why We Need to Prosecute Our Torturers

Just when you thought Republicans couldn't sink any lower, they ask Dick Cheney, the guy who screwed up Iraq, for advice on how to fix Iraq.
~snip~
According to the New York Times, "
Cheney) did not discuss the fact that many ISIS leaders were former Iraqi military officers who were imprisoned by American troops, nor did he dwell on the sectarian divisions and bloodletting since the 2003 American invasion."
Excuse me for a second while I go barf.
Dick Cheney has absolutely zero business giving anyone advice on anything, and if there's anyone who deserves to be shunned from American public life for the rest of his existence, it's him.
Amazingly, though, Republicans don't seem to care. They're just thrilled that Cheney took some time out of his very busy warmongering schedule to come and speak to them.
