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 Obama’s 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 Administration’s ability to be responsible for our nation’s security.
I didn't know the dims were THIS stupid. But, apparently, they are.
odumbo took one in the chops there lets hope the CIA doesnt
Ya gotta love a man’s man’s man.

HooooWeee - GO Cheney!
Thanks... gee... I should know better!
You read my mind!
I guess a little bit of this is coming together!
According to a Fox poll 94% of the people are against the Justice Department reopening and possibly prosecuting cases of alleged mistreatment of terror suspects by CIA interrogators?

Authority for interrogation rests now with the Whtie House. I suppose we will have czar of interrogations now. This is very scary.
I’m sure this will be published in all the major Democrat news outlets.
This country suffers because of the bias and incompetence of its news media.
No doubt about it.
Kudos Dick Cheney.
