Amnesty International Response to Cheney's 'No-Brainer' Comment

WASHINGTON, Oct. 26 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Larry Cox, Amnesty International USA's Executive Director, issued the following statement in response to Vice President Cheney's comments on water-boarding:

"What's really a no-brainer is that no U.S. official, much less a Vice President, should champion torture. Vice President Cheney's advocacy of water-boarding sets a new human rights low at a time when human rights is already scraping the bottom of the Bush administration barrel.

The U.S. Department of Defense specifically prohibited water- boarding in its newly issued Army Field Manual. U.S. Senators have stated clearly that water-boarding is unacceptable.

This administration aims at a radical break with our country's proud human rights tradition. The America we believe in does not torture people."
