8. Cheney, Dick - Former Secretary of Defense and Current Vice-President (The Center for Public Integrity)
   "As secretary of defense, Cheney saw the fall of the Soviet Union, helped conduct the Panama invasion to oust Manuel Noriega, and sent the first American troops to Somalia with the Unified Task Force (UNITAF) to help provide relief assistance. But his greatest challenge was the Persian Gulf War."
   
   "The former White House chief of staff, congressman and secretary of defense quickly added to his resume. While working a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, a conservative think tank, Cheney served on the board of directors for such prominent companies like US West, Procter and Gamble, and Lockheed Martin and still managed to lecture widely across the United States."
   
   "But it wasn't until 1995 that his career really took off when he became the CEO of the Dallas-based oil services firm, Halliburton Co. Cheney's arrival was a watershed event that brought the company an unprecedented level of profitability. During Cheney's tenure at Halliburton revenue more than doubled, thanks in part to Cheney's ability to secure overseas business for the firm. By the time Cheney left the firm, in the summer of 2000, overseas operations accounted for 68 percent for total revenues, up from 51 percent when he arrived. By the time the 2000 Presidential election was gearing up, Halliburton had become the world's largest diversified energy services company of its kind."
   
   "In the April 2000, Cheney agreed to chair then-Gov. George W. Bush's vice-presidential selection committee. In May, he assured Halliburton stockholders that he had no intentions of leaving his position for another Bush administration. But this proved to be a promise that he wouldn't keep."
   
   "In July 2000, Bush announced that Cheney would be his running mate. Cheney prepared for the campaign and pledged to forfeit his interests in the private sector, specifically in Halliburton."
   
   "In January 2001, Bush was inaugurated as the 43rd President after the closest election in U.S. history, with Cheney serving as his vice president." 1-04

12. Editorial: The Impeachment of George W. Bush (TheNation.com - Holtzman)
    "Finally, it has started. People have begun to speak of impeaching President George W. Bush--not in hushed whispers but openly, in newspapers, on the Internet, in ordinary conversations and even in Congress. As a former member of Congress who sat on the House Judiciary Committee during the impeachment proceedings against President Richard Nixon, I believe they are right to do so." 01-06

13. -05-01-07 Discussion of George Tenet's Book on Invading Iraq (PBS News)
    David Boren, former Chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee: "And it reminds me of just the opposite sort of situation we faced during the first Gulf War, when I went down to the White House to talk to the first President Bush. And I remember saying, 'Why don't we go on in? We pushed Saddam out of Kuwait. Why don't we go into Iraq right now?' "
    
    "He said three things: First, Senator, what's your exit strategy? Second, he said, Let's think about the Kurds, the Shias, the Sunnis. Let's think about the civil war that might take place. Let's worry about upsetting the balance of power in the Middle East and strengthening countries like Iran versus other friends and allies of ours in the region."
    
    "And, you know, that was the kind of thoughtful discussion that took place then. And what really comes across in this book [by the former Director of the CIA] is the absence of that kind of thoughtful discussion this time around."
    
    Larry Johnson, former CIA analyst: "He [George Tenet] was an excellent Senate staffer to Senator Boren. He did an excellent job on the Senate Intelligence Committee. But as a director of Central Intelligence, responsible for being the Dutch uncle to tell presidents and vice presidents uncomfortable truths, on that he failed, failed miserably, and American soldiers have paid a bloody price because of it." 05-07

14. -Editorial: Bush's View of President Not Supported by Constitution (International Herald Tribune)
    "President George W. Bush is notorious for issuing statements taking exception to hundreds of bills as he signs them. This week, we learned that in a shocking number of cases, the Bush administration has refused to enact those laws. Congress should use its powers to insist that its laws are obeyed."
    
    "The Bush administration's disregard for these laws is part of its extraordinary theory of the 'unitary executive.' The administration asserts that the president has the sole authority to supervise and direct executive officers, and that Congress and the courts cannot interfere. This theory has no support in American history or the Constitution, and is a formula for autocracy." 06-07

15. Visionary Leaders (Maccoby.com)
    "Great Vision. I once asked a group of managers to define a leader. 'A person with vision' was a typical response. Productive narcissists understand the vision thing particularly well, largely because they are by nature people who see the big picture. They are not analyzers who can break up big questions into manageable problems; they aren’t number crunchers either (these are typically the obsessives). Nor do they try to extrapolate to understand the future—they attempt to create it. To paraphrase George Bernard Shaw, some people see things as they are and ask why; narcissists see things that never were and ask why not." 11-07

    "The last high-ranking U.S. official to meet with Kim Jong Il was Madeleine Albright, then Clinton's secretary of State, who visited Pyongyang in 2000 at a time of warming relations. Ties turned cold when George W. Bush took office in the White House in 2001." 07-09

17. -Editorial: Most Underrated President: George H.W. Bush (U.S. News)
    "Of course my vote goes to 41, not only for the courage it took to sign the 1990 budget deal and his handling of the first Persian Gulf War, but also for his leadership on the Americans with Disabilities Act, the Clean Air Act, and the Points of Light movement. What a life of public service—from teenage war hero to member of Congress, U.N. ambassador, head of the Republican Party, director of the CIA, U.S. liaison to China, vice president, president, and now a point of light himself. So he's got my vote, but let me know who your choice would be." 02-12

18. -Editorial: Making Whiteness Visible (Ideas.Time.com)
    "If there is one hopeful note amidst all the anguish and recrimination from the acquittal of George Zimmerman, it’s that growing numbers of white people have come to appreciate whiteness for what it is: an unearned set of privileges. And as a result of that dawning awareness, it’s become possible to imagine a day when that structure of privilege is dismantled – by white people." 07-13
