Cheney asks for more
I know it's not his responsibility, but ex-Halliburton chief Dick Cheney could certainly afford to do this himself.
(After all the money he made them, it seems like the folks at Blackwater or KBR really ought to offer it to him for free,)
Former Vice President Dick Cheney's Secret Service protection has been extended for at least another six months, beginning Tuesday.
Normally, ex-veeps only get six months of protection at taxpayer expense. But Cheney asked for an extension, and President Obama - whom Cheney has excoriated in several interviews since leaving office - recently signed off.

I wonder who he's afraid of? All the right-wing nutjobs seem to love him and think he's a great guy- and they have all the guns and "patriotic motivation".
Leftys typically aren't armed, and just wish he was dead.

Well. Among the millions of leftys, I'm sure there are more than a few, but if I were really guessing, I'd bet he's afraid of Muslim/terrorist backlash. Maybe not even Al Qaeda, but Iraqis and other Muslims who would like to become a hero to their own people.
Cheney was the mastermind of the (unnecessary) Iraq invasion, the builder of Guantanamo, secret renditions, torture, etc.....

That seems logical... now that I think about it, I'll bet he knows exactly who he is afraid of.
