The reason this story is being filed in my diary is that I will not practice a scintilla of objectivity with this one. As is often the case whenever the Disabled American Veterans (DAV) hold their convention, they invite a high ranking member of the executive branch of the government to deliver a few words. So it was to be this year as they invited Vice President Dick Cheney to be the guest speaker at the convention set to take place in Las Vegas from 9 to 12 August. They'll just have to soldier alone without hearing the words of inspiration one of this nation's biggest chicken hawks has to offer them as the DAV has yanked their invite to Cheney.

Seven years ago Vice President Dick Cheney's heart was given a little help -- an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator (ICD). Cheney joined millions of other people alive today thanks to ICDs or pacemarkers inside them. The smallish implants allows secure wireless communication to and from the wearer's heart. Apparently, there may be a glitch in the security of such devices as doctors are warning that these devices could be hacked.

Well, that didn't take long. No sooner did US Vice President Dick Cheney show up in Pakistan to tell President Pervez Musharaf his country was slacking in the fight against international terrorists than things happened. The principal thing was Pakistani authorities arresting Mullah Obaidullah, the former Taliban defense minister and reported number three to Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar. But, just like the capture of every other al-Qaeda and Taliban number three in the past, it looks like it will have little effect on the Taliban's intentions to make things bloody in Afghanistan this spring.
