Cheney is Disturbed

Update: MSNBC is reporting that Obama is leaving the door open to prosecutions. 
Original post: 
Hannity, such a putz, asks: Did Joe Biden reach out to you? Why in the world would Biden reach out to tainted Mole Man. Ick.
Hannity may as well have been sitting in Cheney's lap. If Cheney thinks torture is a "success," he's a very sick man.

Meanwhile, Cheney is trying to prove his innocence by trying to declassify CIA records to show that torture works, which means that we probably should be prosecuting Cheney and everyone else involved in the memos. Originally, I thought that was a bad idea but it may be the right thing to do after all. Sen. Dianne Feinstein is asking Obama to hold off on any final decisions until the intelligence committee finishes its investigation:
Democrats and international officials pressed for a fuller accounting of what happened. Senator Dianne Feinstein, a California Democrat and chairwoman of the Intelligence Committee, wrote Mr. Obama asking him not to rule out prosecutions until her panel completed an investigation over the next six to eight months. NYT
Cheney's argument that torture works is idiotic in any light because even if it did work, it doesn't mean that's the right way to get information or even the best way. It's similar to the surge argument. Just because the so-called surge worked in Iraq doesn't mean preemptive efforts or a different solution might've worked better.
Personally, I think Cheney was the point man in the downfall of this country. He seems to be a twisted man with an agenda. He's showing signs of ego and guilt.
