On Iraq and 9/11: ‘That’s not something I made up’

Former Vice President Dick Cheney is usually very careful at choosing his words.

Perhaps not so today. In a speech Monday at the National Press Club, continuing along familiar themes of terrorism, Guantanamo and his hatred for The New York Times, Cheney spoke defensively of the administration’s practice of water-boarding detainees.

“I don’t believe we tortured,” Cheney remarked, noting that the interrogation techniques approved by the Bush administration were vetted by White House lawyers. They didn’t cross a “red line,” he said.

1. You know, maybe he's actually nuts....
I'm beginning to believe that this crazy sumbitch actually BELIVES all this tripe he's been spewing! He "believes" there was a link between Iraq and 9/11. He "believes" that waterboarding isn't torture.

Can somebody slip some xanax into this guys Ensure shakes to see if that helps the situation???

2. What about the rape and other sexual abuse? Does that cross the line?
Water boarding is only a part of his sadism.

5. If it was "well done", where's Bin Laden? Why haven't we gotten him?
