Raw Story
In an interview with Bob Schieffer on CBS program Face The Nation Dick Cheney is still under the impression he can make up his own Constitution as he
goes along. No crime was committed?!?!
Well Dick let's look at the Constitution it states the following:
Article one, Section 9: "The privilege of the Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in Cases of Rebellion or Invasion the public
Safety may require it." The 9/11 attacks were neither a rebellion nor an invasion. The Civil War was a the very definition of a rebellion. Hence,
it is illegal for Bush to suspend it, while it was legal for Lincoln to suspend it.
So thanks again to Ms Pelosi and Company for enabling these gangsters. 
SCHIEFFER: But nobody thinks that was legal.
CHENEY: Well, no. It certainly was in the sense he wasn't impeached. And it was a wartime measure that he took that I think history says today, yeah,
that was probably a good thing to do.

The vice president spent much of the interview defending eight years of the Bush administration's policies, including its surveillance and
interrogation programs.
When Schieffer asked if the Bush administration had gone "too far" in its surveillance program, Cheney said no.
"I don’t believe we violated anybody’s civil liberties," he said.
