White House spokesman spars with press regarding Cheney's torture 'admission'

RAW STORY
Published: Friday October 27, 2006


During a conservative radio interview earlier this week, Cheney was asked whether he agreed "that if it takes dunking a terrorist in water, we're all for it, if it saves American lives."

"It's a no-brainer for me," Cheney responded. "But for a while there I was being criticized as the vice president for torture."

Snow told the press that Cheney was denying that his comments were specifically referring to the practice known as "water boarding," which was seen as the first admission by a Bush administration official that terrorist detainees has been subjected to the practice which even some Republican Senators consider torture.

.....................

When asked by a reporter to define a dunk in water, Snow answered, "It's a dunk in the water."

4. I am feeling high that the one person who could mess up their

chances was old Dick - yes, he only adds to it - but it's a landfall. Feels like I've won a Lotto. Snow lying and squirming only enhances it. I can't wait for George's next press conference.

5. "It's just a dunk, and I'm just a drunk". That's your explanation. n/t

6. Then how can it be effective?

"Dunk in the water" my butt. Anyone with half a brain knows that it has to terrify someone in order to be effective.

9. Terrifying people doesn't = "effective"

It just equals terrorism.

[eleny]

12. Right! And that's why water boarding isn't just a simple "dunk"

Over and over, they demonstrate how little they think of the public. As if they can manipulate our thinking like soft putty.

7. Even tho Cheney referenced a man who was WATER-BOARDED

snow denies cheney said what in fact cheney did say.

When will snow deny cheney said:

"There is no doubt"

"We will in fact be greeted as liberators"

et-fucking-al.

8. What a bunch of arrogant assholes

They actually think that it is OK to abuse another human being because they are superior to the rest of the world.
Anyone who is part of this regime and anyone who still supports this regime can and should go straight to hell.

11. They must get such jollies out of pulling crap like this and watching the Pundits

chase their own tails.

[liberal N proud]

13. And the pundits follow like dogs in heat.
