What one person suggested was that Cheney is trying to distance himself from any long-term responsibility for the actions of the administration, and thus let Bush be the fall guy for all of it. Granted, the person I was talking to was VERY "foil hat" in her political opinions, but I can see where she's going with it. As she points out... there's nowhere you can hide from international law if they decide to put you on trial for war crimes. So perhaps Cheney is trying to avoid responsibility for something bigger and more global in scope than domestic actions.
Of course, this is the same lady who thinks that Ken Lay's death was faked... so take her opinions with a road deicing-sized grain of salt.
