The Vice President of Torture

[andyfox]

That's what former CIA director Stansfield Turner calls Mr. Cheney. Mr. Cheney continued the administration's big lie today with the following:

"What is not legitimate, and what I will again say is dishonest and reprehensible, is the suggestion by some U.S. senators that the president of the United States or any member of his administration purposely misled the American people on prewar intelligence."

This from the man who, in December, 2001, on "Meet the Press" said "it's been pretty well confirmed" that there was a direct pre-9/11 link betwen Mohammed Atta and Iraqi intelligence. When that link was later disproved, Cheney was confronted about his Meet the Press remark by Gloria Borger on CNBC. Three times Cheney told her that he never said it.

Reprehensible and dishonest indeed.
