Former Vice President Cheney -- Wrong Again
Check out the Director of the Bellevue/NYU Program for Survivors of Torture, Allen Keller, writing at Huffington Post about just how wrong the former Vice President's facts were in his torture-defending speech last Thursday. Key point:
Torture is neither reliable in eliciting accurate information nor in promoting national security. It is a violation of domestic and international law. Our use of torture has undermined our security and credibility including our capacity to speak out against despot regimes who routinely torture innocent civilians. An honest and full accounting of what happened is a crucial step in making this world a safer place.

Someone should kill everyone of you people....SLOWLY
No further investigation is necessary to indict Dick Cheney for behavior he has publicly admitted. He may well consider condoning, approving, and ordering treatment the rest of us consider torture to have been legal and fine; Hitler also thought he was improving the Aryan race by imprisoning and exterminating Jews, Catholics, blacks, and gypsies. One man's opinion cannot stand in the face of overwhelming evidence against it, and it's past time he and others were brought to justice about this.
