The CIA released the documents today that former Vice President Dick Cheney requested earlier this year in an attempt to prove his assertion that using enhanced interrogation techniques on terror detainees saved U.S. lives.
The documents back up the Bush administration's claims that intelligence gleaned from captured terror suspects had thwarted terrorist attacks, but the visible portions of the heavily redacted reports do not indicate whether such information was obtained as a result of controversial interrogation techniques, such as waterboarding.
Cheney's initial request in the spring that the documents be declassified was rejected by the CIA. Lawmakers derided his claims that the harsh interrogation techniques were necessary. Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., the chair of the Senate Armed Services Committee, said in a May 27 speech that "those classified documents say nothing about numbers of lives saved, nor do the documents connect acquisition of valuable intelligence to the use of abusive techniques."

I am totally certain that the captured terrorists did not volunteer the information by offering them steak and ice cream. They spoke because they were forced to speak, force is the only language these evil subhumans understand.

Looks like Senator Obama is going to get into a confrontation with the Central Intelligence Agency.
Talk about pissing in the wind. Can you believe he is "going there?"
What a moron. What an amateur.

The Left isn’t concerned about protecting U.S. citizens. They simply want to ruin Bush and Cheney. They act like relentlessly angry and vindictive people.

Schulz and his lousy network have got to go. They routinely lie and mislead the public.
