Cheney: 'Damn right' I back Bush use of waterboarding
David Edwards and Mike Sheehan
Published: Thursday February 7, 2008

The controversial interrogation technique of waterboarding was a hot topic in a House Judiciary Committee hearing today, at which Attorney General Michael Mukasey said the Justice Department would not investigate the legality of the actions of U.S. interrogators on terror detainees.

CNN's Situation Room reports that Vice President Dick Cheney, an ardent defender of U.S. tactics in the war on terror, was "defiant" about the use of waterboarding on suspects in an appearance today at the Conservative Political Action Conference in Washington, D.C.

Cheney said that he supported President Bush's national security decisions, which included the approval of waterboarding along with other harsh interrogation tactics. "I've been proud to stand by (Bush), by the decisions he's made," said Cheney, who then asked aloud, "Would I support those decisions today?"

"You're damn right I would," he answered himself, to loud cheers.

1. What a surprise.

Cheney and the Conservative Political Action Conference giving the world the finger and endangering every American who ever risks being taken by enemies of this country. And the "enemies" list has lengthened appreciably, thanks to that action.

Go fuck yourself, Mr. Cheney.

2. McCain on waterboarding

“People who have worn the uniform and had the experience know that this is a terrible and odious practice and should never be condoned in the U.S. We are a better nation than that.”

another reason why we should be taking this guy very seriously, and also why the GOP base doesn't like him.

7. McCain will be the Good Cop...Bush/Cheney are the Bad Cops...

But they are both on the same police force working for the same goal:

Obtain, surround, defend and drill Iraqi oil.

5. not-fuckin'-amazing....

Look back at 1964 and the ads against Barry Goldwater featured an atomic bomb mushroom cloud. Today, the RW NeoCon power structure of the GOP would use that symbol in ads FOR their guys...keep the base all pumped-up and ready for a fight!

10. There's a reason...

He's not running for pres......(Besides he's old and almost dead).

Because that didn't stop McCain.

1.) he has been president for 8 years

2.) he is hated by more than just us Liberals.

Cheney is the worst man to ever to be in Politics...

even the righties hate him.

11. I hope he fucking lives long enough to

rot in prison somewhere. Lump of shit that he is.

12. That's our guy Dickie- always behaving as the prick we expect him to be.

Maybe next time he can aim the gun to accidently go off where it could really help save the planet-- right in his dickie.
