Vice President Dick Cheney says he supported interrogation tactics that were used against the terrorist Khalid Sheikh Mohammed — including that which has been described as “water-boarding.”
“I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared, as the agency in effect came in and wanted to know what they could and couldn’t do,” Cheney says in an interview with ABC News’ Jonathan Karl. “And they talked to me, as well as others, to explain what they wanted to do. And I supported it. ”
In hindsight, does he believe any of the tactics went too far?
“I don’t,” Cheney says.
“And on KSM, one of those tactics, of course, widely reported was water-boarding,” Karl asks, in the interview conducted today – with excerpts airing on World News with Charles Gibson this evening and the full interview airing on Good Morning America on Tuesday. “That seems to be a tactic we no longer use. Even that you think was appropriate? ”
“I do,” Cheney says.
I only wonder why there is only one impeachment hearing going forward right now.
This guys is a criminal…now what?
