Former Vice President Dick Cheney released a statement Monday night about the CIA documents and the coming Justice Department investigation.
The documents released Monday clearly demonstrate that the individuals subjected to Enhanced Interrogation Techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al Qaeda. This intelligence saved lives and prevented terrorist attacks. These detainees also, according to the documents, played a role in nearly every capture of al Qaeda members and associates since 2002. The activities of the CIA in carrying out the policies of the Bush Administration were directly responsible for defeating all efforts by al Qaeda to launch further mass casualty attacks against the United States. The people involved deserve our gratitude. They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions. President Obamas decision to allow the Justice Department to investigate and possibly prosecute CIA personnel, and his decision to remove authority for interrogation from the CIA to the White House, serves as a reminder, if any were needed, of why so many Americans have doubts about this Administrations ability to be responsible for our nations security.
Cheney, as usual is so right.
God save us from this administration.
I hope that Panetta resigns over this Zer0 power grab....

Do you think the Clinton lackey has that much integrity?
I could not agree more.
I saw Liz Cheney speak at the RedState Gathering early this month. She was great!
Good statement by Cheney! I cannot believe they are equating what our agents did with what they do to us. It’s sickening. I hope it makes some of the middle roader “independents” angry.
Thanks for the ping!
He probably has more integrity than the next person 0 would appoint, sad to say.
I just heard that a president of an AFL-CIO union has been nominated to be head of the New York Federal Reserve Bank.
So now we have unions running American automobile companies and our money system.
There is no doubt 0 is “redistributing” wealth in America.
How many more horrible bits of news will be dropped while the 0 is ‘on vacation’?
You see this?
So refreshing to hear from a leader that 1. loves his country rather than despises it, and 2. is not so caught up in the pop-star, messianic BS that his statements are straight-forward and present a clear message, rather than twisted into a Gordian knot that no one is meant to unravel, but that sounds so good, sounds so cool.
Dick Cheney comes through. I was sure he would.
God bless and keep Dick Cheney.
I LOVE that photo and the look macho Cheney is giving the limp wristed one.
bump
I sure do miss Big Time...
Do you feel lucky? Well ... do ya ..... punk?!!!!!
I assume this is because you know Cheney is right and we, as a nation, do not have a serious president who is capable, or even wants to, of keeping us safe from terrorist attack?
Cheney needs to get a Facebook account and this will go VIRAL just like with Sarah and the death panels. It will drive the libtards crazy and O’s approval ratings will sink even faster.
Exactly what I’ve been waiting to hear since the announcement of the investigation. Cheney’s gonna save our sorry arses whether “we” want them saved or not.
Damned thing is, last Fall if you could have gotten in to the CIA or Pentagon employee parking lots, you’d have seen far more Obama than McCain bumper stickers. Similarly, more Kerry than Bush in ‘04.
The only saving grace in the relentless activities on behalf of this Administration to undermine the US may be a total backlash against the left whose political gain, to them, far outweighs our national security.
