Dick Cheney Scared Silly He Will Be Prosecuted for War Crimes

From CBS news – August 31, 2011:
The sniping between Dick Cheney and his erstwhile Bush administration colleagues ratcheted up Tuesday when a long-time aide to Colin Powell said the former vice president is afraid of being prosecuted as a war criminal.

Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, who served as chief of staff to Powell when he was secretary of state in the first term of President George W. Bush, said Cheney has changed into an unrecognizable figure since his time as secretary of defense under President George H.W. Bush.

“He’s developed an angst and almost a protective cover, and now he fears being tried as a war criminal,” Wilkerson told ABC News, “because that’s the way someone who’s decided he’s not going to be prosecuted acts: boldly, let’s get out in front of everybody, let’s act like we are not concerned and so forth when in fact they are covering up their own fear that somebody will Pinochet him.” Corbett B.
