Obviously Cheney's remark was just (inflammatory) political rhetoric.

In my opinion, starting a thread to suggest the possibility that Cheney might be arrested for a terrorist threat is also (equally inflammatory) political rhetoric. Such an exaggeration strains credulity.

Why not call the statement for what it is-- an overblown political scare tactic. I think many of our Republican friends might agree.

We have come a long way since FDR galvanized the republic with the admonition: "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself." These days, if the terrorists seek to cultivate fear, Cheney & Bush are doing that job for them. We are constantly reminded by the current administration that "evil thugs" are plotting to "destroy our way of life."
