In an excerpt from an interview to be aired this weekend on "Fox sNews Sunday," Cheney said the investigation would do long term damage to the country's ability to protect itself. Huh?!
Former Vice President Dick Cheney Friday called a Justice Department probe into alleged abusive interrogation techniques by CIA agents as an "outrageous political act" that is sure to weaken national security and endanger lives.
What? Sonds more like "Dicks", admission of guilt than anything!

And torture morphed into investigation!
"Instead, they're out there now threatening to disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinions -- threatening contrary to what the president originally said. They're going to go out and investigate the CIA personnel who carried out those investigations," Cheney added.
Also the "demander" demanded.........
Cheney has for months has demanded the CIA release materials to show the effectiveness of harsh tactics in enabling interrogators to get information used to thwart planned attacks.
Why didn't the CIA just release those "demanded" Facts?...Because there are none!
Already, reports indicate that Director of Intelligence Leon Panetta was angry and may ultimately resign over the investigation, which he had vigorously fought against.
Sen. Kit Bond had this to add to the sideshow:
"This operation that he has announced really goes back and plows ground that has already been covered by the Department of Justice," Sen. Kit Bond, the ranking Republican on the Senate Intelligence Committee, told Newsmax.TV. The CIA inspector general's report "was turned over to the Department of Justice. They brought one criminal prosecution. The rest of the actions they figured did not have enough basis for criminal prosecution and the agency itself took disciplinary action.
"So I don’t know what he hopes to prove other than to satisfy the president’s left-wing agenda. He’s going to do everything he can to tar the reputation of the people who protected us after 9/11."
Oh no! It's a leftie conspiracy!
Uh huh, rright!
