Former Vice President Richard 'Dick' Cheney is reported to have attended at least four CIA briefing meetings, defending the techniques that have been revealed in the torture memos, at key points in time when members of congressional oversight committees were threatening to investigate or terminate the use of techniques termed "enhanced interogation techniques" by the former Bush administration.

Thanks, Karen. After over 4,300 American soldiers died along with many thousands of Iraqi people and military personnel from other countries, and Sgt. Russel and other service personnel have lost their mental health, former Vice President Dick Cheney admits during a FOX News interview that there was NEVER any evidence tying Iraq to 9/11, and he criticized Obama for not opening the torture memorandums.

Telling the truth about that must come as a relief to Mr. Cheney. Perhaps we will some day know about the torture that was ordered and the whereabouts of dozens of missing men and boys that the Red Cross reported recently.
