Waterboarding for Dick Cheney

When November is over and we win the house, I say we waterboard Dick Cheney.
It's the only way we're going to find out about his secret energy meetings and
all the other extra-constitutional duties that are not in the U.S. Constitution.
Of course, Bush can appoint old Dick to do anything he wants. However, it seems to me that when you have a vice president sneaking around in secret we ought to know what's going on. Hey, but I'm old fashioned. I believe in our old democratic republic, not the new secret government created under George W. Bush.
But this wouldn't be a topic for discussion if the Republican Congress had any spine. They don't, so it is.
I also want to know why Dick and Rummy were hell bent to ruin the CIA. Yes, Bush appointed Porter Goss, but they've been after that agency for decades. What was
Libby's involvement with the Defense Intelligence Agency? The questions go on
and on and, frankly, have nothing to do with Halliburton.
Vice President Dick Cheney has confirmed that U.S. interrogators subjected
captured senior al-Qaida suspects to a controversial interrogation technique
called “water-boarding,” which creates a sensation of drowning.Cheney indicated that the Bush administration doesn't regard water-boarding
as torture and allows the CIA to use it. “It's a no-brainer for me,”
Cheney said at one point in an interview.Cheney's comments, in a White House interview on Tuesday with a conservative
radio talk show host, appeared to reflect the Bush administration's view that
the president has the constitutional power to do whatever he deems necessary
to fight terrorism. …Cheney
confirms that detainees were subjected to water-boarding
It's a no-brainer for me.
