Ex-Bush Official Col. Lawrence Wilkerson
"I am Willing to Testify" If Dick Cheney is Put on Trial
The War and Peace Report
As former Vice President Dick Cheney publishes his long-awaited memoir, Amy Goodman speaks to Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, former chief of staff to Secretary
of State Colin Powell. "This is a book written out of fear, fear that
one day someone will 'Pinochet' Dick Cheney," says Wilkerson, alluding
to the former Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet, who was arrested for
war crimes. Wilkerson also calls for George W. Bush and Cheney to be
held accountable for their crimes in office. "I’d be willing to testify,
and I’d be willing to take any punishment I’m due," Wilkerson said. Amy
also speak to Salon.com political and legal blogger Glenn Greenwald
about his recent article on Cheney, "The Fruits of Elite Immunity."
"Dick Cheney goes around the country profiting off of this sleazy,
sensationalistic, self-serving book, basically profiting from his
crimes, and at the same time normalizing the idea that these kind of
policies…are perfectly legitimate choices to make. And I think that’s
the really damaging legacy from all of this," says Greenwald.
