I wish it were Bush and Cheney who had cartwheeled into a roadside bomb.

I don't think so. Sources high in The Pentagon are suggesting that Liberty was planning to go direct to The House foreign Relations Committee on his return Stateside and make startling revelations regarding the conduct of certain bomb sniffing canines in his unit.
The allegations of sniffing "more than just C4" have dogged the four legged gyrenes for some time.
Following on last year's expose of infighting during obedience training in Fort Bragg that led to cage and collar sentences for 12 non commissioned dogs this is another blow to the previously exemplary record originating with founding dog Rin Tin Tin, a hero of The Western Front in World War 1.
