One Translation Re: Elizabeth Cheney - Human Shield?

[Kelley]

i've also sent this on to another acquaintance who knows Russian, too. as i 
note, below, just be/c the translation says its happening, it doesn't 
follow that it is. nor does it mean good things. it's a win for the admin, 
i think that's pretty obvious.

headline: Cheney is a blood thirsty dick, even if it means risking his 
daughter's life.

headline: Cheney so convinced that our strikes are surgical, his daughter 
is headed to Baghdad to prove it.

headline: Cheney family split, like many families across the US. Ain't this 
nation Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrreat!
