Executive summary: Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Addington is a hardcore neoconservative. He helped author the policy papers justifying torture, and the papers sidelining the Geneva Conventions which led to the Abu Ghraib disaster. He promotes the argument that suspects may be held without access to any judicial review whatsoever, an unconstitutional theory by any degree. His view as to the executive branch is that it should be supremely powerful, and he pores over budget appropriations for any riders that might put even subtle checks on executive power.
After Lewis Libby's indictment on five felony counts relating to the Valerie Plame disclosure, it was intimated that Addington would be his replacement. Father: Jerry Addington (US Army electrical engineer, math teacher, d. 1994)
