A taste of evil

This week the Washington Post is running a series on the influence and power of US Vice President "I'm a Big" Dick Cheney who the paper rightly describes as the "most influential and powerful man ever to hold the office of vice president". Yesterday's article focused on how he, like all of the great villains of the past, prefers to work in the shadows out of the light of day. Today's, which I have not yet read, features his contribution to the creation of America - the Torture State.

Yet to come pieces on his influence on the budgetary process and Cheney's stranglehold on environmental policy or, perhaps more accurately, the lack thereof.
