Last week, Cheney was all over TV setting the stage for pardons. He admitted he personally approved torture, but insisted it destroyed Al Qaeda and saved American lives.
According to a powerful article by David Rose in Vanity Fair, the Bush-Cheney torture regime accomplished exactly the opposite. The torture photos from Abu Ghraib helped Al Qaeda's recruitment soar. U.S. officers in Iraq say torture-inspired attacks on U.S. soldiers were the #1 and #2 cause of soldiers' deaths. CIA analysts say the "intelligence" produced by torture was worthless.

(I wonder if Dick Cheney believes that Jews drink the blood of Christian children? Because under waterboarding, both with the Nazis and the Inquisition, Jews confessed to doing so!
So, if Dick Cheney is correct and waterboarding produces reliable results, then yes indeed, Jews did drink the blood of Christian Children.
Likewise, and again during the inquisition, countless women, including nuns, confessed to having actual carnal relations with Satan after being waterboarded.
So, if Dick Cheney is correct and waterboarding produces reliable results, then Satan is holed up at the Hyatt in Ft. Worth, knocking up nuns as I type this!
Or...
We recognize that the Jews who confessed to drinking the blood of children did so only to stop their torture. And likewise we recognize that the victims of the inquisition said whatever their tormentors wished to hear, simply to stop the water and the fire.
You cannot have it both ways, Dick. If the screamed confessions of Iraqi victims are all true and accurate, then women do indeed turn into black cats at midnight! - WRH)
