Wow, isn’t he the man who believed in secrets and disparaged those former insiders who wrote books about their time in government? 

Actually, it makes sense in Cheney-think. 

Rules don’t apply to the self-anointed Nietzsche uber-mensch, except that Cheney has all of the hubris of the “overman” but lacks the essential element of one who risks all for the sake of enhancement of humanity.  (Hint: waterboarding doesn’t advance humanity.)

In real-world-think, he is just another egomaniacal hack.
