Dick defending CIA!

Vice President Dick Cheney defended the CIA’s interrogation methods and the war in Iraq during a speech to war veterans and Indiana National Guardsmen gathered Downtown on Thursday.
Interrogation techniques have been a crucial issue in confirmation hearings for attorney general nominee Michael Mukasey. In Senate hearings, Mukasey has declined to say whether he considers “waterboarding” to be torture.
“We cannot protect the nation, much less win a war, by simply bracing for another attack,” Cheney said.
In his 25-minute speech, Cheney did not specify what interrogation techniques were used. He stressed that the methods were not torture.
