I wonder what goes through Cheney's mind when he visits Baghdad. Does he ever look out the window of his armor-plated limmo and see the wasteland he's created -- the burned out buildings, the pock-marked streets, the wretched orphans sorting through the garbage for something to eat?

We can ask those in our local governments who have taken the oath, what they are willing to do to support and defend our Constitution. Will they speak out in defense of it, and if not, why not? Perhaps it's time we have that conversation.
