Dick Cheney says only three terror suspects were ever waterboarded

And this is what all the hoopla is about? The media makes it sound like it was standard practice!

    What did you expect? There are 8 billion people on the planet and only a few hundred are ill with the Swine Flu, but the media makes it sound like human-kind is in danger of dying out!

    Exactly- I have finally got that pounded into my Germ-o-phobe wife's
    head. The regular flu kills something like 30k people a year!

    Named each and every one. Not hard when there is only 3.

    By the way it sounded there were thousands.

    I have heard other numbers in the past but it's coming to light beacuse I don't trust them. I am at the stance water boarding is a useful tool. No one has died from it, and it gets investigative information.

    When you think about what Dick Chaney is saying he is doing it for the security of the country. He's no longer in office, He's not trying to get a book deal, He wants records released to tell the truth of the accusations made. The current administration is blocking it, why? to further the agenda.

    Only 3 were waterboarded? Then lets waterboard the rest of them before we release them.

    How about just letting the Gitmo guys out the gate into Cuba. Return the favor to Castro. I say close it down and let the Democrats have what they want. When the big one hits again it will be in DC or New York or Kalifornia. Hopefully it will get a few liberals and then we will see how they feel. It's what they are begging for, the spineless sons of beeches.

    I don't have a problem with that. However when the first 6 or so blow themselves up in the minefields, I don't think many more will follow.

    Water bording. So what? It is enlightening to read a book about the Spanish Inquisition. Now, those Spanish chaps knew how to torture; they were good at it, they could proloooooooong the experience. Even in those days of the Catholic Church's torture chambers, they did in fact use water boarding, but it was pretty mild treatment when compared with real torture. A book, "The Spanish Inquisition", by Cecil Roth (1964,1996) is an excellant book. Another good book on the subject is, "the History of Torture", by Daniel P. Mannix (1964).

    The Spanish, Portugese, Germans, British, and Mexicans need not assume self-righteous aires about this subject area. Their countries are way too well documented in history, for practicing real torture for hundreds of years.

    Forget this water boarding stuff. It is not real torture. If you need a few quotes from documentary sources that I have, I would be happy to gross you out.

    Anything out of Cheneys mouth what so ever can not be comprehended...He was the puppet master for the last 8 years and he himself is almost alone the only reason why America is failing. You can just look at him and see the devil in his eyes. Hes a great example of why we are going to lose our guns. I have no thanks for that man other than he already knew if he ran for President it would be the largest disaster that hit the face of America head on, in world history.

    Go back to your crack pipe.

    I'm no fan of Cheney, but this borders on sheer lunacy.

    Put you tin foil hat back on, they are reading your thoughts.

    I would believe Cheney over Obama on any day of the week.

    Cheney kinda reminds me of the President in the movie "Escape from New York" minus the brittishe accent of course.

    Judging by what you wrote, you are obviously absent a single braincell in that vast dark, empty gulf located between your ears! You're really close to being the dullest knife in the drawer!

    GW's policies have kept this country safer than Clinton or Bush 41 did and Obama is squandering that away with his bleeding-heart, "lets negotiate with terrorists" policies. Lets see how many terrorists attacks take place on US soil under Obama's tyranny!

    If you think GW is the sole cause of our country's problems, then Junior .... you ain't seen nothin yet!!
