Author John Harwood neither defends nor attacks Cheney; it appears to be a largely straight forward job of reporting. Here is my favorite Harwood quote:
Dick Cheney became a one-of-a-kind vice president for two reasons: he cared deeply about governance, and not a bit about his future political standing.Harwood also repeats one of my favorite Cheney quotes, which echos these beliefs:
Reminded last year in a television interview that most Americans considered the Iraq war not worth fighting, Mr. Cheney responded, “So?”That's my neighbor Dick Cheney, still true to Wyoming after all those years in Washington.
