"Mr Cheney last Thursday accused Russia not just of using energy policy for
political ends, but of restricting citizens’ rights."
I don't know that any one in the entire world that has used energy policy for political ends more so than Cheney. It is absurd that he would accuse anyone else of those actions when he wrote the book on restricting rights to further his personal and political gains.
Furthermore, what in the world has the U.S. to gain by making comments like that? Is it really to begin another cold war so that the Neo-Cons can return to the good old days of gross military expenditures to counter the ubiquitous threat of the Russians? It would not surprise me. Of course, our military expenditures increased after the fall of the Soviet Union, but I doubt such a technicality would inhibit BushCo from increasing them again at the onset of Cold War II: Attack of the Clones.
