That's the headline on the Times story regardingCheney's remarks on CNN on Sunday.

Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday that President Obama had made the country less safe, asserting that the new administrations changes to detention and interrogation programs for terrorism suspects would hamper intelligence gathering.

Mr. Cheney said the moves suggested that terrorism was now being treated as a law enforcement problem.

He is making some choices that, in my mind, will, in fact, raise the risk to the American people of another attack, Mr. Cheney said of Mr. Obama in an interview on the CNN program State of the Union.

That's the Dick Cheney who helped created this mess, right?My alternate hedder: "Shut the #$%&*! up!"First runner-up: "Go away!"Other entries welcome.
