I'm trying to find defenders of Cheney somewhere online, but so far all I've gotten are the deranged at LGF in the comment thread and the occasional drive-by troll in the WaPo comment thread, comments such as these:

Let's think for a second about the Dem's vs. the Republicans. Bobby Kennedy ran the black bag operation on Castro. Remember he was the Attorney General. Failed. Jimmy Carter did not support our friend the Shah of Iran and turned that country over to a bunch of nuts. He sent a small group without any backup into Iran to rescue the hostages. Failed. Clinton sent a few tomahawks into a few places while he was being serviced by Monica. Failed to stop any threats anywhere. But Monica did a good job for him and she was rejected after Clinton was finished with her, like all of the other young girls he abused. VP Cheney has run the war on terrorist and the United States has not been attacked since. In war time I will stick with the tough guys. When it is over we will give it back to the Dem's and the media to run for awhile.

I am disgusted that so many people do not see that we are in a world war with people who do not follow any part of the Geneva Convention. Have all of you forgotten 9/11 and the beheadings? Just today it was in the news that the Talliban strapped and explosive vest on a 6 year old and told him to touch wires together. Luckily, he didnt understand and asked an Afgani officer to show him how. Waterboarding may be frightening, but it does not compare with the horrifying gassing of the Kurds, the payment to families of suicide bombers, or the beheading of Danny Pearl, not to mention kidnapping for money and the wish to erase Isreal from the face of the earth. I am proud of Richard Bruce Cheney's resolve to try and protect the people of this country. This war, which actually started way before 9/11, will contnue long after he is out of office. And if we give in to this nonsense, we will be the ones who will pay.

Never have I ever heard such flaming hatred from people in all my life. Do you have even a hint of what those Heathens want to do to you before they cut your heads off? All you care about is hating Bush, well get over it! I hope they make them all talk, it saves lives, MINE! screw you people. Give me that flame thrower and I'll help get that info. we need.

How about you guys investigate and write something about the Democrats? How about you read Walter Perryman's book "Unfounded Loyalty." This once stanch Democrat African-American author wrote, "The terrorist attacks by the Democrats and their terrorist supporters (KKK, etc…) were so horrendous, mamy believe that fromt he 1800s to the early 1900s this political party killed more people and destroyed more lives than the terrorist attacks attributed to Osama Bin Laden, the Al Qaeda, and the modern day Taliban of Afganistan."
No one held the Democrats accountable for the deaths of millions within the United States Why don't you research this part of America's history? Truth be told, there would have been no need for a Civil Rights movement if the Democrats hadn't terrorized this country for 100 years after the Civil War ended. And, we expect the insurgency to end in Iraq? According to my clock we have another 94 years to go!
P.S. Your articles are so blatantly bias that it's a wonder readers continue to slip away from the liberal media's grasp. Get a clue. I, for one, am tired of it.
s for the war…it is a war and it's not always pretty. It's time to depart from mamby pamby land and develop a backbone, otherwise we'll all end up back in the primordial ooze!

The bleeding heart liberals and terrorist bill of rights crowd that are so against these tactics are the same people who complained 'WE DIDNT CONNECT THE DOTS and bush was asleep at the switch and therefore he was responsible for 9/11. George tenet and michael schuerer [the head of the bin laden unit 98 till 02] have testified that these tactics haved saved " thousands if not hundreds of thousands" of american lives. the constitution is not a suicide pact, astatement that hasnt sunken in to liberal judges and the hate bush crowd. even john mccain has been blinded by his time as a POW. to think that if we dont use enhanced methods ,[NOT TORTURE] will change terrorists minds to not cut off heads is laughable ! SADDLY IT WILL TAKE ANOTHER MASSIVE ATTACK FOR THIS CROWD OF TERRORIST SYMPATHIZERS TO WAKE UP AND SEE HOW THE PRES. AND VICE PRES. HAVE USED NSA WIRETAPPING,ENHANCED QUESTIONING AND RENDITIONS TO HELP TO PROTECT THE U.S.

The liberal press and the democrats again find themeselves in the comfortable position of criticizing instead of leading.
Go after Bush if you want,Cheney the whole crew, I'll join you, but for God's sake don't make excuses for the rotten low lifes that would kill our people and families given half a chance.
Cruelity ? give me a break, fat, overpaid, journalists think cruelty is not having sugar with your coffee, or toilet paper in the bathroom !

I'd rather live under Cheney than to die under the horrors of the regime of these killer terrorists. Wake UP!

First, the Washington Post ought to do a
nice story about the quality of the vitriol
inspired by this story. What is it that's
said about people calling names, when they
lack a good argument?
Second, when Clinton did the things he did,
such as bombing Serbia, which posed no threat to the US, would that have been an
impeachable offense, according to the anti-
Bush people?
Third, in a war, is it permissible to use
methods that promote victory, or should one
thread lightly, lest feelings be hurt?
Finally, given some recent statistics about
the voting records and (political) finan-
cials of journalists, would it be fair to
assume the article being discussed was authored by a Democrat?
