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.
I keep wating and wishing for the COTUS, his Czars and his cabal of thugs to walk into an open manhole but am not holding my breath.

We need Liz Cheney to run for senator.
I love Cheney but when he speaks about this admin. it makes me more scared than I have ever been.
Sums it up.
That pic is quite haunting. Cheney as The Exorcist needs to drive out the demon known as Barack!
[Sums it up.]
Yes, Cheney understood what Obama was all about - then.
God bless him ... AMEN!
Cheney is saying the decision is Obama's responsibility as is right since he is in charge of our Nat'l Security. Good one, VP Cheney!!!
Nice smack down.
Yeah, he’s not going to let Obama hide behind Holder. Looks to me like Cheney’s kind of got Obama boxed in.
Bigtime.
“...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.”
Ouch.
I love Dick Cheney.
And Landmark Legal Foundation is sueing to force release of all documents pertaining to what Pelosi knew and when she knew it. If anyone is to be prosecuted, she needs to be prosecuted right along with them.
Your #34—best view of “the look” yet. Cheney knew exactly what was ahead for all of us....
BUSH/CHENEY=right!
ZERO=fail!
