Cheney Statement on CIA Documents/Investigation Former Vice President Dick Cheney gave The Weekly Standard 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 nations's security.
Anyone investigating Holder and his cohorts?

This CIA investigation is but a ploy by the dims to shift media attention away from health care.
Cheney’s statement is not strongly worded enough.
BUMP. Sic ‘em Cheney!
If I were Cheney, I think I’d play a clip of Alec Baldwin saying that the people should go drag a senator,his wife and his children out to stone them to death. And then say to the press that all of the interrogation agents did say they were “joking” which made it all right.
Democrats have to realize that people, as Rush just mentioned, are scared. Now.....
1. picture WWII when our troops were leaving the ships....they were scared.
2. Then picture them in the boats when the fronts dropped down....they were scared.
3. They left those boats and were determined to accomplish their mission.
4. Then they saw their buddys getting hurt and killed.
5. Then they got pissed.
The American people are getting pissid today. People are getting hurt. Our relatives, our neighbors, people we don’t even know.....are getting hurt. Americans are getting hurt and people are getting pissed. I’m actually getting to the point I fear for this country and what’s coming. People can only be pushed so far in this country.
I agree with you.
It’s 1933 all over again.
FDR lost momentum on his programs in his first year in office and limped along until he could provoke Japan into starting a war to save his beloved “Uncle Joe.”
I’m hoping we skip the world war portion of the program.
That’s gonna leave a mark.
Translation of the above into Brooklyn-eze:
“Bring it on, Mo Fo!”
It needs to be stopped before we get to the point of war. The question is how. This country can figure out how to do this but will they? We need a leader that will take on our phony leaders.
That's okay, Candor7....missed it before and was glad to see this.
Right now we don’t have leaders, we have rulers.
They may think they are rulers but let me tell you.....I HAVE NO RULERS AND REFUSE TO ACCEPT THEM.
