President George W. Bush has not exactly been a hero to civil libertarians, what with the data mining, wiretapping and library snooping. But he may just have redeemed himself. Thanks in part to the efforts of Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney, it is now safe for Nicole Richie to drop the F bomb on broadcast...
...like his state of Wyoming--conservative and straight shooting. Ex-Marine Craig Thomas, above, went to Washington in 1989 after he won a special election to replace then U.S. Representative Dick Cheney, whom President George H.W. Bush had appointed Defense Secretary. A Senator since 1994, Thomas earned a reputation as a sensible, effective advocate on issues from public-land protection to the domestic production of energy and minerals. Thomas, who avoided Beltway infighting, watched himself win a third term last year from a hospital bed. After he was re-elected, he announced that he had leukemia...
Citing "Overwhelming" evidence, a U.S. district judge wrapped up one of the Bush Administration's most embarrassing episodes by giving I. Lewis (Scooter) Libby, Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, 2 1/2 years in prison for lying to federal investigators about his role in the leak of CIA officer Valerie Plame's identity.

Libby, 56, the highest-ranking White House official to be convicted of a felony since Iran-contra, could go to jail within...
...other hand, it is not inconceivable Iran would be looking at terrorist targets in the United States these days. Iranian hard-liners believe a war with the United States is inevitable. They read the American press and have convinced themselves that while Condoleezza Rice might settle for diplomacy, Dick Cheney sooner or later will find an excuse to bomb them. The hard-liners are also convinced that we are inciting Iran's ethnic minorities to attack the regime. Trying to blow up JFK Airport is the least we could expect from them if Cheney does...
...that is precisely the danger here. Fury begets fury. Poison from the right-wing talk shows seeped into the Republican Party's bloodstream and sent that party off the deep end. Limbaugh's show-where Dick Cheney frequently expatiates-has become the voice of the Republican establishment. The same could happen to the Democrats. The spitballs aimed at me don't matter much. The spitballs aimed at Harman, Clinton and Obama are another story. Despite their votes, each of those politicians believes the war must be funded. (Obama even said so in his statement explaining his vote.) Each knows...
