'As the AP reports, the administration is now arguing that vice president Cheney did not, in fact, say that using water boarding, the interrogation method whereby a detainee is made to feel that he is drowning, is a "no-brainer."
His comment in an interview with a talk show host earlier this week got wide coverage. When the interviewer asked, "Would you agree a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives?" Cheney replied, "It's a no-brainer for me, but for a while there, I was criticized as being the Vice President "for torture." We don't torture. That's not what we're involved in."'
