Is Dick Cheney a Sadist? | CafeSentido.com: "...In fact, if we examine the nature of the policies promoted by former Vice President Cheney, we find a common thread: whether it’s torture, the wish to selectively —which many believe means entirely— abolish habeas corpus, arbitrary detention, snap bombing raids, invasions of whole countries based on deliberately manipulated intelligence, the common thread is a sadistic bloodlust. It is as if Mr. Cheney cannot find it in himself to put democracy ahead of the lust for a violent, unhinged response. He equates the use of brute force to “strength” and considers military action the most intelligent response in every case.
The pro-violence approach espoused by Cheney is not only cited, by both captured terrorists and the intelligence community, as a primary motivator for terrorist recruiting, it also belies a near total inability to think clearly on matters of national security. Whereas Cheney would have us believe he is serious because he is obsessed with carrying out violent acts and dehumanizing those suspected of involvement in terrorist plots, that obsession shows he is not serious about crafting the smartest solution to the problem. He is serious only about developing elaborate vehicles for sadistic behavior, using national security as an excuse..."
