41. Cheney all but admitted in an interview that he and the rest
of the administration approved waterboarding. Rachal Maddow pointed out that Japanase were tried and hung during WWII by the Hague. The interesting thing is they are going all over the media trying to fix their image and all they are doing is making video confessions of their crimes which can be used in court.
