As the New York Times noted this morning, former Vice President Dick Cheney has been a vocal and consistent critic of President Obama since leaving office. That's something of a break from the past: Traditionally, presidents and vice presidents have stayed relatively quiet about the activities of their successors.
Even President Bush – who was often the target of criticism from Mr. Obama during the campaign – has said the new president "deserves my silence." But Cheney, who has been front and center in the debate over the release of the Bush-era interrogation memos and potential prosecutions for devising the interrogation techniques, clearly disagrees. He has gone so far as to suggest that there is a "high probability" of a terrorist attack under the new administration. - CBS News Story
