>>I believe that a suit claiming slander or libel would only apply to my statements were I to be making the accusations against a "private" person as opposed to a "public" person.<<

You believe, but you may believe wrongly, some people believe in the Easter Bunny, check with a good attorney...

>>That I am within my rights to accuse<<

False accusations without documentable evidence under any circumstances are less than honest, SI is no exception, you're expected to be honest and forthright, you ought to act accordingly...

>>and I have no sense<<

I agree with you on this point...

>>that what I post here has much of any impact at all.<<

"People will not recall nor long remember what I say here today..."

From Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address...

Once again, you've missed the entire point... it's not an issue of Cheney's filing a libel suit against you, but that it is wrong, no matter who the target is, to libel and slander without substantive cause, and you have none... it's a matter of being mature and responsible, and you ought to act accordingly, other here on SI do, why do you believe you're exempt?
