Paul Supporters Call Cheney "War Criminal" at CPAC 
---------------------------------------------------



And former vice president Dick Cheney has been publicly heckled at an
unlikely venue: the annual Conservative Political Action Conference in
Washington, D.C. On Thursday, Cheney appeared at CPAC to grant a
"Defending the Constitution" award to former Defense Secretary Donald
Rumsfeld. After taking the stage to the pop music hit "Simply the Best,"
Cheney was met with shouts of "war criminal" and "where's bin Laden?"
The heckles appeared to come from a contingent of supporters of
libertarian Republican Ron Paul. The Paul group walked out of the room
as Cheney began to speak.
