Col. Lawrence Wilkerson, the former chief of staff for Secretary of State Colin Powell, appeared on Rachel Maddow's show last night, and didn't spare any niceties in describing former (Vice) President Dead-Eye Dick Cheney as "evil." Wilkerson's article in the Washington Note prompted his appearance, and mentions Dead-Eye's support for torture, and abuses at Gitmo and Abu Ghraib as supplying al Qaeda with invaluable recruiting ammunition, and directly aiding the terrorists' cause. Dead-Eye has been active lately in criticizing the Obama Administration for reversing some of the Bushit Assministration's policies, claiming it's made us more vulnerable to attack. Wilkerson disagrees, saying that al Qaeda was counting on Dead-Eye and crew to go to the extreme and provide additional incentive for young Muslims to sign up:
"With people such as Cheney assisting them, they are far more likely to succeed."
