but Dick Cheney was and is a war criminal. Even if 9/11 was neither LIHOP nor MIHOP... the lies about Iraq and WMDs got thousands and maybe 100s of thousands of people killed... and Cheney was at the heart of that conspiracy.

No one should attend his funeral other than his family. No military honors should be rendered.
