Democrats ALWAYS support our enemies.

Dick Cheney: He denied that waterboarding was a form of torture.

“Torture is what the Al Qaeda terrorists did to 3,000 Americans on 9/11,” Cheney said on NBC. “There is no comparison between that and what we did with respect to enhanced interrogation.”

“Cheney also disputed the notion that any American taken prisoner overseas by terrorists was now at greater risk of being subjected to techniques like those used by the CIA.

“’He’s not likely to be waterboarded. He’s likely to have his head cut off,’ the former vice president said of a potential American taken hostage by a group like the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. ‘I haven’t seen them waterboard anybody.’”

Has any democrat ever produced a comprehensive list of what interrogation tachniques are torture and which are not?

Of course they haven’t. To do so would require having an actual belief system and thought process, rather than simply being knee-jerk reactionaries in opposition to everything that might keep us safe and make terrorists uncomfortable. It’s much easier to just scream “Bush’s CIA did horrible things!” then go get a latte and feel smug.

Personally, I like the waterboarding with pig’s blood idea in the comment upthread.
