He’s still my vice president
Breaking bones and cutting off fingers are torture.
Waterboarding scares the enemy - doesn’t hurt them.
Lefty doesn’t dislike waterboarding b/c it’s torture - it isn’t. They don’t like it b/c it hurts their feelings.
Go get them Dick.
Many, I guess, if you go back to, say, George Washington.
You only have to go back to Jimmy Carter to find ex-Presidents who didn't "demur." 'Course, they were from a political party that CBS protects from criticism, so...
Mine, too. When Cheney was campaigning in 2000 in my area, he signed an absence excuse note for one of my friends still in high school. His mother keeps the note in a frame on her wall.
mine too.
I’d like to propose a rule that excludes a group of acts from being defined as torture:
Any potentially unpleasant act that an individual healthy in mind and body understands and willingly submits himself to experience cannot be regarded as torture.
Since journalists including FoxNews reporter Steve Harrigan have voluntarily undergone ‘waterboarding’ (not to mention soldiers who have submitted to ‘waterboarding’ as part of their training), ‘waterboarding’ cannot be regarded as torture.
When journalists volunteer to have their hands or ears cut off in order to gain insight into ‘enhanced interrogation techniques’ I’ll reassess my position.
Ditto!
A little media bias here? I don't recognize waterboarding as torture. Photographing beheading is torture. Since when is defending from attacks by the Obama Nation called attacking?
Cheney, his wife and daughter all have intellects that dwarf the current POTUS and VPOTUS.
The shame of it all is that a mjority of Americans are clueless to that fact.
Brilliant! add to that thought that any act performed by anti war protesters as torture cannot be torture since no one is harmed by it.
Mine too. He would have been a great President!
they have un-leashed the pit bull.. And our great VP Cheney will not shut up until those memos about what we learned , are released.
Dick, you the man.. give um hell.
We the people gave them that control in 2006 because the Rinos had to be purged from congress,executive and justice.
We the people gave then that control and now we complain. We have what we deserve.
Letfties don’t like waterboarding when it’s not them doing it
To say they don’t like torture flies in the face of their incestuous desires for Castro, Mao et al
God Bless Dick Cheney
Freakingn Al Gore and Clinton started it. Idiots!
