Cheney Is The King Of Torture

The Bush Administration didn't care what a Sunni or a Shia was, had no care who Al Sadr and his massively popular local army was, and would fire a Arabic translator at the drop of a DADT hat. The War on Terror was a farce from its inception: how do you battle a state of mind? What was next? A war on jealousy?

The more we learn, the more we see how Bush and Cheney were ideologically were set on pushing square pegs in rounds holes:

The chief of staff to former Secretary of State Colin Powell says that the Bush Administration authorized torture of detainees before even rendering a legal opinion on the practice — and that they sought to torture detainees in an effort to produce intelligence tying Iraq to al Qaeda.

“What I have learned is that as the administration authorized harsh interrogation in April and May of 2002–well before the Justice Department had rendered any legal opinion–its principal priority for intelligence was not aimed at pre-empting another terrorist attack on the U.S. but discovering a smoking gun linking Iraq and al-Qa’ida,” former Powell chief of staff Lawrence Wilkerson wrote Wednesday evening.

Cheney is particular is obsessed on connecting dots that don't exist;

“So furious was this effort that on one particular detainee, even when the interrogation team had reported to Cheney’s office that their detainee “was compliant” (meaning the team recommended no more torture), the VP’s office ordered them to continue the enhanced methods,” Wilkerson added.

Why were they reporting to Cheney's office? Why the VP? Just goes to show how evil Cheney has been and will be.
