Cheney: Waterboarding Should Have Been Option with Underwear Bomber
http://blogs.abcnews.com/thenote/2010/02/cheney-waterboarding-should-have-been-option-with-underwear-bomber.html

When asked by ABC’s Jonathan Karl whether the U.S. government should have had the option to use “enhanced interrogation techniques,” including waterboarding with Umar Farouk Abdulmuttalab, former Vice President Dick Cheney said, “I think you ought to have all of those capabilities on the table.”

“Now, President Obama has taken them off the table. He announced when he came in last year that they would never use anything other than the U.S. Army Manual which doesn’t include those techniques. I think that’s a mistake,” Cheney said in an exclusive interview on “This Week.”

2. Tell it to the judge Dick.
This thing of trying to give torture legitimacy is going to be his downfall.

Hey, it's illegal Dick.

7. Deadeye has not had his torture fix in months, I presume.
No insects to pull apart, no small animals to dissect, no more friends to shoot in the face, no live video from the super secret prisons to share with Dubya. It's hard out there for an evil minion.

:sarcasm:

10. apart from the illegality of it, WHY should a person who is giving the interrogators everything they
wnat be tortured? oh, I know--because you are a sick, sadistic, hate-filled waste of skin and oxygen.

can almost bet that, in a prior incarnation, you were an inquisitor.
