"Sleep deprivation, "insult slaps," water dousing and "walling," or slamming a detainee's head against a wall, were techniques used by CIA interrogators to break high-value detainees, according to an agency memo."
Holder decision "promises political headaches for President Barack Obama, came after the Justice Department's ethics watchdog recommended considering prosecution of CIA employees or contractors for interrogations in Iraq and Afghanistan that went beyond approved limits."
Cheney said ""The people involved deserve our gratitude. They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions," he said in a statement."

its all been about “clunkers” (low mpg cars) and “dunkers” (waterboard salon treatments)
The last six months.....yes. Learn to protect yourself, you may need that knowledge.
The walling reportedly took place on special hollow walls that made a great slamming sound but were about as harmless as cardboard cartons.
Still waiting to see Amnesty International’s condemnation of Al Qaida for kidnapping civilians, torturing them, and then videotaping their murders for Islamic snuff videos.
The enemy is running the asylum.
but its great visual for liberal YouTube outrage.
The Left says that Saddam Hussein did a better job of keeping terrorism down in Iraq.
We were using methods that were far less severe and not dangerous to the captives.
Saddam WOULD rape and murder the wives of the prisoners. He WOULD cut off their hands.
The CIA ran a Halloween haunted house, not a torture chamber.
Put another catepillar on a prisoner and tell him it has a poisonous bite.
I do not personally know of one person who thinks this country is NOT spinning out of control.
I am buying all of the ammo I can.
In any SHTF scenario, it will come in handy, but will also be the new de facto currency.
Remember, this was to break suspected al-Qaeda plotters. The last thing on earth we would want is to give them a real concussion that would destroy their memories!
And now the government is honoring drunkards.
Same thing that every SERE student goes through. I survived it OK.
Damn Obama.
This claim was going on while Bush was still president, wasn't it? Rummy or Cheney should have come out and told them they were right and that we will immediately start reproducing Saddam's tactics.
Do they all still have their heads attached?
Spoke with a dad with 3 sons in various branches. A conservative that can't believe how fast it is devolving and worries about his sons.
What gets me is this...
These interrogators ans Spec-Ops guys are doing the dirty work that Holder finds repulsive that gave him the freedom to be the leftist thug he has become.
What Gauls me, their is probably a spec-op snipper wallowing in his own piss for 3 days as we speak to play wack-a-mole with a bad guy they they have been waiting to get into his sites.
Holder doesn't deserve to polish that soldiers boots....
They also said that Truman ended WWII in less time than it was taking Bush to end the war in Iraq.
They wouldn’t let President Bush drop a couple of atomic bombs.
Apples and oranges.
Rats have earned themselves a royal upchuck.
Someone is going to die because of Obama, et al, and their stupid political decisions. You can bet there is no one left in the CIA who is going to put their neck out if this is what happens to them for their effort!
We should be thanking the CIA instead of trying to prosecute them! I don't give a crap what they do to TERRORISTS! They don't care what they do to us!
I guarantee you that the geniuses in Obama’s circle wouldn't have a problem with his perceived political enemies being treated the way these TERRORISTS were treated! We just can't do the same thing to freaking terrorists who want to KILL US!!!
These weren’t suspected Al Qaeda plotters. This WAS the people like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. KNOWN masterminds of evil.
