Dick Cheney has crawled out from under whatever rock serves as his latest undisclosed location:
Former Vice President Dick Cheney said in a statement Tuesday that the Obama administration's decision to name a prosecutor to look into Bush-era interrogations of suspected terrorists should foster "doubts about this administration’s ability to be responsible for our nation’s security."
"The people involved deserve our gratitude," Cheney said. "They do not deserve to be the targets of political investigations or prosecutions."
Leaving aside his standard fear-mongering tactic, we can all appreciate why Cheney would oppose any criminal investigations into the use of torture techniques while he was in office -- after all, the smoking gun would have his fingerprints all over it.
