Vets group revokes Darth Cheney’s invitation to speak.



Thinkprogress:

The Disabled Veterans of America have revoked Vice President Dick Cheney’s invitation to speak at its convention next month because “the group felt his security demands were Draconian and unreasonable“:
[Cheney’s] staff insisted the sick vets be sequestered for two hours before Cheney’s arrival and couldn’t leave until he’d finished talking, officials confirmed. […]

[V]ets would’ve had to get up “at Oh-dark-30 and try to get breakfast and showered and get their prosthetics on.” Once inside, they “could not leave the meeting room, and the bathrooms are outside,” he said.
