White House denies Cheney OK'd torture

[CatWoman]

WASHINGTON - The White House said Friday that Vice President Dick Cheney was not talking about a torture technique known as "water boarding" when he said dunking terrorism suspects in water during questioning was a "no-brainer."

Human rights groups complained that Cheney's comments amounted to an endorsement of water boarding, in which the victim believes he is about to drown.

President Bush, asked about Cheney's comments, said, "This country doesn't torture. We're not going to torture." He spoke at an Oval Office meeting Friday with NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer.

Earlier, White House press secretary Tony Snow denied that Cheney had endorsed water boarding.

6. What were the victims told before someone pushed their head

down. If they were threatened with death - it was water-boarding,

How many DUers (who were not military) could confidently define 'water-boarding' before this PNAC regime came to power (stole their power)?

How many of these farmers, tool makers, shop owners, teachers knew what water-boarding was before they were snatched up, tied up, and threatened? Since they may have had to have been told what faced them, words were exchanged. If it was a threat of death - it was water-boarding.

Cheney is the most inhuman of a bodily entity with blood running through it. Meets all definitions of inhuman mass.
