Cheney’s son in law helped chemical industry avoid regulation
The result has been that our chemical sites remain, even five years after 9/11, stubbornly vulnerable to attack. Philip Perry has hardly been alone in tolerating this. Others in the White House and Congress have been equally solicitous toward the chemical industry. But as part of a network of Cheney loyalists in the executive branch, Perry has been a key player in the struggle to prevent the federal government from assuming any serious regulatory role in business, no matter what the cost. And a successful attack on a chemical facility could make such a cost high indeed. A flippant critic might say the father-in-law has been prosecuting a war that creates more terrorists abroad, while the son-in-law has been working to ensure they’ll have easy targets at home.
Traitors. By leaving chemical plant security planning unregulated, and thus making it more likely that a terrorist attack would be successful, Cheney, his son in law and their enablers in Congress have given “aid and comfort” to the enemy.
Traitors.
End of story.
