The Dick insists that his torture led to Bin Laden's demise
This fucking war criminal is also crazy

http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2011/sep/09/dick-cheney-defends-torture-al-qaida
<snip>

Dick Cheney, the former US vice-president, has claimed Osama bin Laden would not have been tracked down and killed if it had not been for information gathered by torturing captured al-Qaida leaders.

In a robust defence of what he called "enhanced interrogation", Cheney said it produced "phenomenal" results and dismissed the Obama administration's investigations of its legality as "objectionable" and a "terrible precedent".

Speaking ahead of ceremonies to mark the 10th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks, the former vice-president rejected accusations that the use of torture undermined the moral authority of the US overseas.

"The notion that somehow the United States was wildly torturing anybody is not true," he said. "One of the most controversial techniques is waterboarding ... Three people were waterboarded. Not dozens, not hundreds. Three. And the one who was subjected the most often to that was Khaled Sheikh Mohammed, and it produced phenomenal results for us."

Fuck you Dick Cheney!! Torturing one person is a war crime. May you and your decrepit body continue to rot.

The face of evil
Spit! :puke:

4. If the Grim Reaper was going to take him out early
he'd have croaked after the first heart attack.

7. So if I understand the cheney, he and bush got
'phenomenal results' using torture, so phenomenal that they let bin Laden
run around for years killing people.
He sounds just like a standard republican. Can't get the job done and leaves
it for someone else to clean up and then when that happens tries to take the credit.
Always trying to steal from others dickie??
