Virgin's Richard Branson declares that 'Dick Cheney should hang his head in shame'

Dick Cheney makes no apologies for the use of enhanced interrogation techniques on suspected terrorists. And for that, Richard Branson wants him to apologize:

The chorus chimed in, right on cue:

@richardbranson amen!!!

@richardbranson He is a war profiteer who only cares about his portfolio.

@richardbranson He should have done it years ago but he's an arrogant ass.

Psssst. Cheney and Branson have the same first name. But we digress.

@richardbranson He has zero understanding of ethics and no morale compass. How he could serve his country in high office is beyond me.

Of course for some, shame doesn’t go far enough:
