Dick Cheney in Hindsight

If you missed it, here's Dick Cheney's speech on the "torture" debate and the current administration's approach to national security issues. It's long, but I highly encourage you to read the entire thing. It is the antidote to the uninformed commentator's simplistic and self-righteous criticism of Bush administration policies. If you can read this without feeling even a twinge of gratefulness for this man's service, you are drinking the kool-aid.

The caricature of Dick Cheney invented by popular culture and the compliant MSM will go down in history as one of the most propagandistic distortions of a public servant in history. A truly great man.

And here's Bill Kristol's comparison of Obama's and Cheney's speeches on this subject. Ditto.
