Yesterday, Dick Cheney was holding forth at the United States Military Academy commencement at West Point:

As Army officers on duty in the war on terror, you will now face enemies who oppose and despise everything you know to be right, every notion of upright conduct and character, and every belief you consider worth fighting for and living for.

He lost his thread, and continued somewhat differently from what I expected. I was confidently expecting him to say: “It will test your training, and your character. What will you do? Will you choose to resist, or will you blindly obey the orders you receive from these people?”
