Cheney Needs To Be Taken To Task

Now that Darth Chaney will soon be out hawking his memoirs on a book tour, I think it's about time that reporters start pressuring him more on questions that he failed to deal with in his self-serving, history-rewriting book.  Some suggestions (several of which courtesy of HuffPo):

How can you possibly not call waterboarding torture? And just how involved in it were you?

Why torture detainees if it doesn't even work?

Do you fear being charged with criminal conduct?

Do you fear being charged with a war crimes?

The United States has prosecuted individuals who engaged in waterboarding, so why is there now an exemption from those in the Bush administration?"

When do you plan to travel outside the United States next?

What do you consider a violation of human dignity, exactly?

Did you tell Scooter Libby to leak Valerie Plame's identity as a CIA agent to the press?

What agreement did you have with Karl Rove to divide policy responsibilities?

Just how much surveillance do you think the government can do without a warrant?

Who was really in charge the morning of 9/11-- you or Bush?

How much did you have to drink before you shot your friend in the face?

How much did you know about Halliburton's massive bribery scheme in Nigeria?

Why did you allow Pakistan to airlift Taliban and Al-Queda officials out of Kunduz in 2001?

Why did you and Bush fail to capture or kill Bin Laden at Tora Bora?

Why didn't you and Bush take the threat of a Bin Laden attack more seriously the month before 9/11?
