If you watch this video from the Rachel Maddow show
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/26315908/#30773553The guest says that Cheney was going over the "threat matrix report" twice a day. At the 8:37 point she says that what Cheney was doing was like being "locked in a room with Led Zeppelin playing".
Led Zeppelin playing. The horror, the horror :scared: :hurts: :hide:
That's clearly like having the levee break on punishment. I imagine most people would want to buy a stairway out of there after about fifteen minutes. Nobody would willingly go into a room and listen to Zeppelin for twenty two minutes.
Clearly Cheney only pushed for torture because he was a soul in torment.
