Then-Vice President Dick Cheney, defending the invasion of Iraq, asserted in 2004 that detainees interrogated at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp had revealed that Iraq had trained al Qaida operatives in chemical and biological warfare, an assertion that wasn't true.

Cheney's 2004 comments to the now-defunct Rocky Mountain News were largely overlooked at the time. However, they appear to substantiate recent reports that interrogators at Guantanamo and other prison camps were ordered to find evidence of alleged cooperation between al Qaida and the late Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein — despite CIA reports that there were only sporadic, insignificant contacts between the militant Islamic group and the secular Iraqi dictatorship.

1. Damn but they must be warming up a very special place in Hell for that bastard

they didn't have it quite hot enough so they let him survive all those heart attacks

6. And, in that special place, I hope he has to stand up to his neck

in cow manure for eternity. A fitting end to someone who spread so much bullshit.

2. It is good to see at least one media outlet focusing on the REAL issue...

as opposed to the bogus 'Pelosi' issue!

Thanks for posting this, it is much appreciated.

3. That's one more nail in Cheney's coffin.

The evidence for a war crimes trial is slowly building up. He sanctioned torture to obtain false pretexts for the invasion of Iraq, not to protect against future terrorist attacks. Every day now another memo surfaces that links Cheney to his war crimes. Soon there will be overwhelming evidence that Obama and the nation can't ignore.

Let the truth come out. :dem:
