Dick Cheney Was Right About Waterboarding Terrorists

The leftist cable programs have been, for some time now, completely fixated upon the idea of prosecuting members of the administration of former President George Bush--especially former Vice-President Dick Cheney--for their role in the enhanced interrogation techniques (or, “torture,” in the leftist lexicon) of captured Islamist terrorists. From far-left Rachel Maddow to ultra-left Amy Goodman and her Marxist Democracy Now! network, there has been a concerted effort to link Cheney’s name with the “torture” of prisoners’ accused of being al-Qaeda operatives and sympathizers.

Goodman’s Democracy Now!, for example, reported last week that a recently released 2004 CIA report on prisoner interrogations, has given President Barack Obama’s Attorney General Eric Holder enough reason to open an inquiry into “CIA torture.” Holder has now appointed a federal prosecutor to look into whether CIA interrogators and contractors should be charged for the alleged torture and abuse of foreign prisoners.

So what did the released memos show?

Compelling arguments.

I am beginning to think Cheney was the ONLY washinton politician with honor and integrity.

He kept silent about the new boss, until actions from the CIA under his watch were questioned by Holder.

Now he is standing up and protecting his people.

So who wanted this guy Mccain as commander and chief representing republican party??? I know Hannity had him on his show over and over calling him a patriot. Just remember, Hannity is a conservative first, not a republican (LOL)

I guess Bush could have pardoned them all. But who knew Obama would start a witch hunt.
