Dick Cheney seeks to limit discussion to one practice (waterboarding) used on 3 men
when we know the breadth and scope was far larger than that. We also know that Abu Grahib was not the work of a few bad apples. We also know that torture was probably deployed to get certain pre-determined results linking Al Qaida to Sadaam, etc,. There's a lot that the public now knows that Dick Cheney doesn't seem to know we know. Shouldn't someone tell him?

Now, does CONTINUING to cover-up torture and excuse it count as part of the "Conspiracy to Torture" that is now part of the Patriot Act?

2. Tweety wondered if he would get away with barely mentioning Iraq
when the War on Iraq turned into the centerpiece of the entire Bush term. The text of his speech is available. I've read it and think it can be picked apart handily paragraph by paragraph by anyone with a brain and even half a memory.
