Dick Cheney tells CNN that the Obama administration has endangered Americans and opened the country to further attack by reversing Bush administration anti-terrorism policies such as harsh interrogations of suspects. There is no proof, nor will there ever be, to measure the effectiveness of anti-terrorism tactics against future terrorist acts in the United States. In other words, Dick wants us to take his word for it.
"We've accomplished nearly everything we set out to do," ex-Vice President Dick Cheney says Sunday about Iraq. Really? Well, since we never set out any clear objectives or even defined victory in Iraq--beyond killing or capturing the former regime there--I guess Cheney can say just about anything he wants to. Cheney told CNN's "State of the Union" that the Bush administration's "alternative" interrogation techniques were "absolutely essential" to preventing further assaults like the September 11, 2001, attacks on New York and Washington. Using the one to prove the other is like arguing the number of angels that can fit on the head of a pin.

That's right...the fact is the only proof we have is that we were never attacked again under Bush/Cheney. Time will tell with the Obama administration's policies. We should really focus more on this as quite frankly they have gotten off to a shaky start at best.
Who started harsh interrogations?
Michael Scheurer - a 22-year veteran of the CIA, who resigned from the agency in 2004 and headed the CIA unit that tracked Al-Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden from 1996 to 1999, developed and led the "renditions" program. According to Scheurer, the renditions program [during the Clinton years] included moving prisoners without due legal process to countries without strict human rights protections.
Can't keep picking and choosing versions that suit liberal agendas.
Sure wish that we would stop airing our dirty laundry in international news. I have images of some bad guy somewhere in the world sitting there with a note pad collecting ideas on our stupidness and our infrastructure weaknesses, so he can plot the next evil thing. Of course, the media helps them out by demanding to know the details and then prints them. YaY.
It is pretty easy to get a bad photo of Cheney. His face is a road map of his toxic personality.
That pic so reminds me of the look on the North Miami Junior High principal's face when he caught me smoking pot in the bathroom circa 1969.
Dear Dick,
Please don't go away mad, just go away!
Did you know Dick and Barack are related? No wonder I noted some resemblance -their mutual lies, maybe?
