Why not to Dick Cheney?

Since early in the 2008 campaign, Barack Obama has argued that the United States must talk not only to its friends, but also to its enemies. Just this week, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton supported re-opening talks with the brutal regime in Iran. So if Obama is willing to talk to bad guys around the world, why not to Dick Cheney? It's time for the president to have a major "bilateral" with the former vice president—a "full and frank exchange of views" (diplomatic speak for a tongue-lashing) with his most significant domestic adversary.
