dead

Dick Cheney served as Vice President from 2001 to 2009 and was the driving force behind the Bush administration's invasion of Iraq based on discredited claims of weapons of mass destruction, launching a catastrophic war that killed hundreds of thousands of civilians and destabilized the Middle East. He was a leading advocate for the CIA's use of torture, known as "enhanced interrogation," supported warrantless domestic surveillance, and consolidated unprecedented executive authority while his former company, Halliburton, received billions in no-bid government contracts related to the conflict.
