So Dick Cheney may have run Death Squads?

How handy to have John Negroponte as a major player in Monkey Boy's sock puppet administration:

Check it out:

Ambassador to Honduras (1981 - 1985) under Saint Ronald of Reagan (appointed after Jimmy Carter's ambassador protested long and loud about death squads running amok.) The joke at the time was that "Negroponte was the only man in Central America who DIDN'T know there were death squads" -- a major accomplishment since he was the man who signed their checks... that appointment was followed by posts as Ambassador to Mexico and then the Phillipines...

And then in Monkey Boy's Sock Puppet Administration, he was:

Ambassador to the UN (2001 - 2004)

Ambassador to Iraq (2004 - 2005)

Director of national Intelligence (2005 - 2007)

So maybe Cheney's "undisclosed location" was up Negroponte's ass, at least metaphorically.

BUT WAIT! As they say on TV

-- there's a path of migration from the NIXON administration -- Project Phoenix -- a program dedicated to assassination of local chieftains in Vietnam who wouldn't become our guys -- between 1968 and 1972, the Phoenix Program "neutralized" more than 80,000 NLF people, of which more than 25,000 were killed... VERY successful Death Squads -- back in those innocents days where "If it's dead, it's VC."

Nixon Administration -- Dick Cheney, Donny Rumsfeld, and the rest of the hench-creatures.
