Of course Cheny doesn't agree with holding CIA accountable for their actions. How did I know that would be his answer. He uses terms like "drag up", and "rehash", as if reviewing the recent past and making sure people didn't go along making up their own rules is a bad for the country.How does an absence of attacks on the US prove that torturing people saved our asses? Wouldn't that have a bit more to do with the massive increase in security that occurred after 9/11 not just in the US but around the world? Or any number of other factors combined? If you punch a guy in the face until the sun goes down does it mean that punching a guy in the face made the sun go down? Yes you smug jackass reporter, it IS a coincidence that this country was not attacked since 911. The notion that any information that prisoners in Guantanamo gave up under the pressure of torture is the SOLE REASON we are safe is ridiculous. And yes that IS what they're implying. The only reason we are here today to talk about this is because of torture. If they admit that maybe torture wasn't the ONLY thing saving our asses, then they would also have to admit that it was potentially unnecessary. And if you take that from them then they can't really justify abusing a few hundred or thousand human beings.We need to protect our country at all costs. But keep in mind that includes protecting it from tyranny as well as terrorism, from the inside as well as the outside. And if it's ok to hold anyone suspected of terrorism accountable with little consideration for their rights, then it should also be acceptable to hold our politicians and government employees accountable for what they do.Miranda rights are "silly". I'm sure he won't, but if Cheny ever did get put on trial, it would be nice if they played by Cheny rules. Just torture him and make him admit he was wrong. No 5th amendment, no laywer, no basic human rights.
