Chriss Lokeman writes, "Dick Cheney changed history, mostly for the bad. It is because of how he held this important office that whoever follows him will be vetted more carefully by the press and the public."

I and millions of others cannot share her hopeful regard of the press. The truth is the press has made its own pact with the devil (and Dick Cheney).

Although the press may have reported his words, there was no outcry from the press when Dick Cheney , a man who had one deferment after another during the Vietnam era, flipantly replied "So?" to the deaths of over four thousand American soldiers in Iraq.

For that matter, the press is still spineless when it comes to calling for accountability of the dark side of the White House and Dick Cheney.
