  • Why the F**C does Obama's and the democratic partys opinion matter? Don't you have public prosecutors in your country? Don't you have an indipendent justice system?

  • Oh no, our President understands that Cheney broke the law, he just doesn't care one way or another.

  • How did we not impeach these guys?!

  • How did it happen?

    A foreign, black, muslim, communist, terrorist is now President of the USA.

    ..............or maybe he's a true American who's trying to do what's in the best imterests of his country?

  • Cheney for Tyrant 2012 !

  • @Silberdachs International Law? Last time I check the US didn't answer to anybody. I don't know where you got your facts from, but your severely mislead my friend.

  • @DMB206 The US constitution says that US should follow international law. Anyway, Bush and Cheney will probably not be able to leave USA or they will risk to be arrested and trialed before international court.

  • @AngeCord lol. Like Bush and Cheney would be tried by the UN. We own that shit dude. Don't even to answer to them actually, because we're America.

  • Deport Cheney too.....ok so no European country will want him....no..well anybody will want him.  So lets just send him to Afghanistan so he can get an up close view of the war he left behind to go after he wanted all along with Bush.

  • If this is true then Cheney needs to be prosecuted.

  • Cheney... The Dark Lord of the Sith. He's not EVEN a Republican. Eisenhower was a republican. Ford was a Republican. But For the "RepubliCranks" who have taken over the GOP- Mr. DICK Cheney is their Dark Lord... For 8 years His Red Burning Eye Glared out from Mordor, & his Orcs still roam the land. And our SHire, the USA, has been despoiled.

  • @satyrartist

    On a little more serious note there yes he is a dark one. In the realm of the spirit world hate can take over a person. Cheney..isn't of human heart anymore.

  • The democratic party is only an extension of the republican party bought and paid for by (Corportate America and special interest oligarchies). Obama was ordered to say whatever he can to cover the criminals ass in the White House . Though I never trusted Bush/Cheney/Obama cabal , it is his m.o. to stick to party line, not take responsibility, and ignore "rule of law". No one will held account- able until the American people see and ad- dress the injustices and errors in the system.

  • how dare you drive a cab and try to feed your family. damn brown people

  • : D

  • he is right..

  • Obama's not gonna prosecute Cheney, they're related lol

  • A problem with torture, besides the obvious imorralness of it, is the fact that when you torture innocent people you get inaccurate information...torture is bad

  • Innocent people who got tortured would never be innocent since they seek revenge from the Govt's that tortured them.

    More recruiting + more sympathy.

    Love ya "Dick" Cheney, you have done tremendous favors for your country.

  • @splicerhook

    Torture was when they flew into the twin towers. and there family's waited for word on if there wife or husband daughter or son was dead. I hope they did much worse then water-boarding.

  • Hey HiddenMsBeast...

    Tell your friend,

    The people who killed his father won't be tortured.

  • People stop sleeping

    Waterboarding is just a mask only to let the public argue about it all the time.

    There are war crimes that happened in "Baqram" airspace and in Guantanamo Detention Center that goes way beyond Waterboarding.

    Imagine this, Obama the one who supported transparency in everything, refused to publicize some of the photos that were taken during torture's fiestas in these prisons.

    Every day I discover something evil about the west

  • Every day you discover something evil about Adam West?

    NOOO!!! That's not true!!! That's IMPOSSIBLE!!!!!!

  • Obama is taking his time and he'll do something about it.

  • Doesn't matter how you look at it. Cheney and Bush did what they felt was best for America. How many foreign terrorist attacks have we had since 9/11? On another note, yes people have died in interrogations, but how does that match up to over 3,000 deaths on 9/11?

  • Huh? How many foreign deaths have we had? How many were innocent? Now imagine the shoe being on the other foot and your kids paying the consequence of someone elses lie. Wouldn't you fight back? Cheney and Bush are worst than Hitler you need to wake up. 9/11? So you still don't believe bombs were in all three buildings when WTC owner Silverstein admitted to blowing up buillding 7? If he blew up building 7, how did he get the building wired in time? Go do research and come back and post.

  • So the events of 9/11 were orchestrated by the US government?

    I guess the moon landings were faked, AIDS is man-made and the Illuminati run the world but are really a race of shapeshifting alien lizards?

  • though this might sound crazy, according to scientists in the 80s when AIDS came around, it came from grass monkeys or some sort of monkey, and when they gave the chimps or monkeys the AIDS virus, it couldnt survive with the body temp.

    now im not saying its man made, but it is a retrovirus that we have no idea where it came from...

  • How often were we attacked BEFORE 9/11? Conservatives crack me up when they act as if not being attacked since 9/11 is some grand accomplishment.

    Breaking News: The US is not the Gaza strip with cafe bombings every week. So stop pretending that terrorist attacks were common before 9/11 when the last major (foiled) attack prior to that was the first WTC bombing in the early 90's.

  • Wes needs more air time

  • Well, when it comes to catastrophic violence, Dick Cheney wrote the book.

    As long as he, Bush, Wolfowitz, Rove and Rumsfeld are allowed out in pulic without supervision, I don't see why a mere terrorist should not be able to do the same.

  • we have tried and executed people for torture in war crime tribunals. now cheney blames the times for his war crimes?

  • The bipartisan war is a myth devised to deceive the public. The whole damn thing is controlled by the Illuminati.

  • Republican policy initiatives: More tax cuts for the rich. Wage reductions, benefit cuts, and huge layoffs for the middle-class, blue and white collar workers. The poor? Oh, well put them in a bus and drive them 20 miles to wash out the toilets in the prisons. Environment? Polute the waterways and air. But keep that land in that gated community pure, as thats where the they live. Start another war, to make them, that never served, feel like patriots. Ignore reality, and screw everyone else.

  • What is a Republican? Just look up, Limbaugh, Cheney, or Gingrich. These clowns have decimated the nation. From ignoring the warnings and ALLOWING THE NATION TO BE ATTACKED ON THEIR WATCH, to attacking the WRONG COUNTRY. Then lying to the public and to Congress about WMDs, and the evidence they cooked, to get us into war, to illegal torture (that didnt work), to Katrina, to the banking/financial meltdown and $11 Trillion Natl debt. Currently without a leader, the GOP is in fear-monger mode.

  • Unlike you kefkahkefkah or Cenk, I am consistant. I beleive some people should be held accoutible IF a law was indeed broken in wire-tapping, and Gitmo and torture...even though I'm a conservative! You see? I am CONSISTANT.

    That is why America embraces conservatism. Bush was no conservative, nor was McCain, and the voters stayed home, so Obama won by default. Congrats. Great victory there (laughing).

    Now if and when the voters get a REAL consevative to vote for, then the tide will turn.

  • that "palestinian hanging" is straight out of the spanish inquistion, as strappado. wiki says you got the source of the name wrong

  • Cheney has been preparing for this PR war for 8 years, but he is going to go down in history as the evil emperor. I would feel bad for him if it weren't for the fact that I blame him for his horrible handling of Bush Jr.

  • The Bush Administration was right to go on the offense against Islamic Terrorists. Too bad the Liberals want to cuddle the Jihadists rather than gleaning important information to protect America.

  • Can I ask you a serious question.....Do you actually know what a liberal is?

  • Oh, this questions TOO EASY. A Democrat supports policies that help the middle-class/poor, from minimum wage, better schools, to programs that support the single-parent. Protection of our environmental treasures, clean air and water, and a tax policy that does doesnt continue to harm. Cutting wages and turning our banks into lending casinos is the Republican way. So is starting wars-of-choice, and having a crazy energy policy. Weve seen the GOP policy these last 8 yrs. Its time for Obama.

  • Rebublican ways mabey...but not conservative ways. You need to learn the diffrenece.

  • You need to learn how to spell the word "maybe". Other than that, I see your point.

  • lol what does terrorists have to do with islam..? how about this christian terrorist..or whatever the fuck he is..?

    did you even watch this video..?

    pathetic clown.

  • Seems to be a strange contraindication. People claim they want decentralized government, yet these 'Terrorism laws' are 'more' centralized. Odd, isn't it?

  • No one spies on poor Skank Uterus - guess he's feeling left out.

  • This speech vis-a-vis the BS laid out by the seril liar currently occupying 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. made Obama look as rediculous as he in fact is.

  • dick could break the law on live tv and not a damn thing would happen.

  • True that, true that.... I saw in a comment somewhere someone asked "I thought Cheney was in jail." I was like "where the fuck have you been pal?" This is Earth OVER!!... lol... Only a Dick would shoot his friend in THA fAce!~!!! lol ;)

  • LOLLL Wars cannot be won on the defensive oh my.... OH MY...what can i say..... wheres my art of war book.....

    anyway, cheney explain to me how you won the Vietnam war considering they where on the defensive? wait... haha? thats right... you lost that one.

  • Yes, the rule of law Cenk. People should be held accountable for breaking the law. Lets see Cenk...like the ILLEGAL ALIENS? Or does being held accountable for breaking the law only apply to Cheney and those you dont like, and not apply to the illegals from Mexico?

    You nothin but hypocrasy Cenk, nothin but hypocracy. Zero credibility.

  • Okay, this video isn't even ABOUT illegal aliens. It's about people who are responsible for TORTURING INNOCENT CIVILIANS TO DEATH. You're getting all riled up because they didn't talk about the topic you're looking for? Where does he say anywhere in this video, "oh, and by the way, I think they should let illegal immigrants stay in this country." NOWHERE. Ya know WHY? Because that would be retartedly out of context. But now I see the connection. You must have been tortured to death by a Mexican.

  • Yes it is about illegal aliens...because it is about illegal ACTS, and Cenk says over and over how illegal acts should be punished. I'll remember he said that when the illegal alien amnisty debate comes up again. I'm pointing out Cenks INCONSISTANCY, and how Cenk applies a set of rules to one set of people, but not another. His strict "follow the rule of law" theory ONLY APPLIES to those he doesnt like. What this means is Cenk is a hypocrite of the worst kind.

    How do you like them apples?

  • Hey! How do you like these ones.

    America bears the guilt of killing atleast 100 people in their care, 38 rules as homocide.

    It was made possible becuase of this mofo you see talking in these video, you see him not talking responsibilty but cowering away.

    If you are comparing illegal aliens to homocide ( 38 ruled as such) and illegal wire-tapping...well, then im really sorry for you man!.

  • Hey, I do like them apples...tastey treats!

    Yes I will compare wire-tapping with illegal border crossings. The law is the law. You cannot obey the law, just where you want to, but ignore it elsewhere. I dont need to go into what the Mexican gangs have done to California, and what the illegal population has done to our hospitals, roads, schools and so on.

    The law is the law. Either obey it, or ignore it all. Be consistant.

    How do you like that mean Mr. Mustard?

  • So in other words, you're saying that Cheney SHOULD be held accountable? Fine. We agree on something. I don't need to defend Cenk from your wrath, but if you're going to talk about him being inconsistent, then I suppose that you agree both that Cheney should be punished for war crimes as well as illegals being deported? If not, then shut your hole.

    If Cenk were a hypocrite of the worst kind he would be defending some other war criminal while condemning Cheney. You're talking different policy.

  • Yes, not only Cheney should be held accountable, but Bush too! It was Bush who lied to us about WMD, and carelessly took us to war against a nation that dod nothing to us. Bush should be prosicuted for that.

    Now, will Cenk admit illegals should be deported, payment for their crimes of illegally crossing a national border? Or, will Cenk "cherry pick" the laws he likes, but ignore laws he doesnt like?

    Either he has credibility, or he has none. Which is it?

  • And btw, I wont "shut my hole', as I am consistant. You just try and make me "shut my hole". Uh huh, thats what I thought.

    Shitter. Liberal crappy is your dish of the day I guess.

  • All of a sudden this fuck wants to speak..were was this fuck in the last eights...oh..dieing with his poor health....now that we have a black president these motherfuckers... Cheney, and Newt..came out of the wood work..

  • You guys don't get it... NEITHER PARTY cares about the rule of law. NEITHER PARTY cares about the good of the people and what's best for the country. Their primary concern is what's good for the party.

    The democrats might express more concern about issues like torture and preemptive war when it suits them politically to do so, but as we see right now they drop it like a hot potato when it becomes the least bit difficult politically.

    Path of least resistance, the way of the politicians all.

  • Absolutely right, cyxgun, much to this country's great regret.

  • Cheney is honest, and a great American who was trying to KEEP US SAFE.

    I think it is TELLING that liberals want to protect terrorists, while at the same time, being for abortion!!  HYPOCRITES to the Tenth degree!!!

  • Someone who thinks Cheney is honest isn't in a position to criticize others.

  • you're horribly conflating two extremely separate issues. first off, please explain how the Bush administration authorizing torture has anything at all to do with abortion. secondly, you should stop making the stupid assumption that everyone who is against torture is also pro-choice. And, yes, I said pro-choice. I personally don't know anyone who is "for abortion."

  • The two issues are related because it is our treatment of the most innocent, and defenseless, AND our treatment of terrorist who are trying to kill all of us. IF....liberals were not so obviously EVIL, they would be against murdering the innocent for convenience, and would fight to stop abortions. But instead they are PRO-abortion and happy with it, and spend their time WHINING about rough treatment of terrorists who are trying to kill us all!

  • Good god, man, get a grip, you sound like a frightened 2 yr old and make about as much sense. If you really cared so much about innocent life you'd oppose torture because we've detained, harmed and murdered many innocent people in our crusade against terrorists. The people who authorized those disgusting illegal acts - Bush and Cheney - were as blinded by fear and hate as you are. It ain't Christian and it ain't American, and it's put our troops in further danger.

  • You do so know people who are "For abortion"!!

    do you think the laws making abortion legal at any age of the unborn, or tax money to PAY for abortions, or are so a woman can DECIDE?

    4000 innocent babies die a horrific death EVERY DAY in the US, and you don't know anyone who is "for abortion"? Like it happens accidentally 4000 times a day?

  • Oh, stop spewing bullshit and stick to facts. Please. Abortion IS NOT LEGAL at any age of the unborn. While the debate as to whether waterboarding is torture is over, there are differing views as to when a zygote/fetus is considered alive/human. Further, many abortions are not performed "for convenience." Rape victims and women whose lives are threatened by their pregancy absofuckinglutely have the right to choose whether to carry their baby to term. Who the hell are you to say otherwise?

  • Did you not listen? They tortured and killed an innocent. How does that make it safe?

  • There is NOTHING in existence that is MORE hypocritical that a liberal who is fine with Abortion, but whines constantly about rough treatment of terrorists!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hey, evil leftists, can you even admit what happens to an innocent baby in an abortion?

  • Dick Cheney Continues To Lie About Torture..........

    Wow, I didn't realize that you were such a big deal that you would have information that the former VP wouldn't. How could he say those things knowing that you were out there ready to call him on every fact because you are so much more well informed than him. I don't understand why the national news media isn't coming to you asking for your opinion on weather he got it right and was telling the truth.

    Why do you think that is?

  • Everything Cenk says is 100% and in the public record. The national news media has reported everything he said.

    You really need to educate yourself before you continue to spout your ignorant opinions...

  • Only an idiot believes anything Cheney says at this point. He's been proved a damnable liar time and again. It doesn't take a lot of brain power to evaluate his statements about torture and realize he can only be speaking to those who prefer not to think for themselves.

  • As I said, it must be a burden for you carrying all this knowledge. It must be so trying to be constantly having reporters beating on your door begging you for the information you have that they don't.

    It must be so hard being the only person knowing what you know and how right you are.

  • concure 100%

  • ı can't believe someone like cheney is still out there talking... since when us is safe haven for the torturers?... should all the torturers of other countries emigrate to us? what is the message you people are sending to the world?

  • The United States is "supposed" to be a nation of constitutional law. When the head of this nation breaks the law, then what? I've always heard that a fish rots from the head down. When the U.S. does, what they tell the other nations not to do, what does that made us? NO ONE should be above the law in this country!

  • Dick Cheney makes me sick

  • This man is evil

  • Dick.

  • this is why i love TYT. right here, this video is the pinnacle of why i watch this show. they give you the facts as strait as they can (every news source is bias somewhat) but as Cenk puts it, they "keep it real" giving out facts that not a lot of other sources will cover

  • I am shocked this guy dosn't get struck by lightning every time he opens his fucking mouth!

  • Which one... just to be clear Dick or the Host >>

  • Hey, DICK... if TORTURE is so 'effective', where the F is OSAMA BIN LADEN?

  • i heard he died of some sort of kidney problem in an American military hospital some years ago...

  • Hey guys great stuff as always!!! I have an important question, is that Ana´s cleavage in the picture;)?

  • my sister walks around me with a thong and tries to get a boner from me

  • The only bone you have is in your thick head!

  • If terrorists are acquitted or released by a federal judge's ruling, the odds are good that they will go right back to fighting against us. Already, one in seven of the detainees freed from Gitmo has rejoined the terrorists.

    Abdullah Mehsud, who was captured in Afghanistan and, after hiding his identity as second-in-command of a Pakistani Taliban group, was freed after 2 years at Gitmo. Once free, he kidnapped two Chinese engineers who were working on a dam and killed one of them.

  • these facts come from where? Most of them we smacked the shit out of in the DTC were later found out to be just kids who belong to a family that was not liked. Most of the "Terrorist" you are talking about are not. hell they never even held a weapon. Most were just a easy bounty from people who did not even have to prove shit to us. They showed us the the house, they got money all on word of mouth. so what terrorist are you talking about? the Kids I handeld were not terrorsits they were unlucky.

  • Most Arabs or Middle-Eastern people own AK-47's as part of their culture, just because they own or carry arms doesnt make them "terrorists", as far as I know ALOT of Americans carry arms, its arguable, but I don't think that makes them terrorists lol

  • The Suni and Shia cultures are knife cultures. The need for many people to carry long arms is due to the influx of weapons into the region when WE and the Soviets were fighting one another behind the bluff of supporting Iran and Iraq.

    Your information is for watching TV and not from serving in combat over there. So just shut up because youre embarrasing yourself.

    And no UBL did not die in an American Hospital dispite what YOU heard. A debate is done with proveable facts not shit you heard

  • As of January 2009, 520 detainees had been released from Gitmo during Bush's presidency. According to the DoD the same month, 18 were confirmed returned to the battlefield and 43 suspected. At worst that's a recidivism rate of 12%.

    As usual the DoD didn't share how it arrived at these numbers, but it's been reported that simply making anti-American statements to the media can get a former detainee on the list.

    The latest number, 1 in 7, is 14%. That figure also includes a lot of "suspecteds".

  • Dig a little deeper. This is not DoD information this is "Fluffy" numbers made up by BUsh and Cheney during various news conferences....They simpley just made up numbers to suit the interview.

    DoD has no way to track POW's once they are released from detention nor would they bother tracking them since our assests are divided on two fronts.

    Further if you let a person go it's because they hold no value to the mission or are deemed a not threat so honestly would you track non threats?

  • @mynameisbobtoo - Agreed 100%. But I try to work with the info people here take as gospel to show them how gullible they are.

  • If Obama is now to reverse field and try these terrorists, the results might be disastrous. It's unlikely that the prosecutors would be able to use all the evidence against them because it wasn't gathered with an eye to its admissibility in a criminal trial. The best evidence couldn't be used against the 20th hijacker, Zacharias Moussaui, so he did not get a death sentence or even life in prison.

  • The very concept of trying terrorists under US law is a slippery slope. We specifically allow our military and intelligence operatives to proceed without the procedural safeguards enumerated in the Fourth, Fifth and Sixth amendments. Why? Because we didn't plan for trials in civilian courts, we didn't take care to see that the evidence was obtained so as to be admissible in civilian courts.

  • Trying a terrorist in NY paints a bull's-eye on the courthouse. The recently foiled plan to attack NYC synagogues demonstrates that terrorists have the city in their sights, as they have since the 1993 WTC attack. Could Obama find a worse place to conduct a trial?

  • and isn't it interesting that Bush says nothing but Cheney keeps running his mouth..

  • Bringing the terrorists to the US puts us at risk that they could be freed by court order.

    Some detainees will be tried in US courts on US soil. The first will be tried in New York.

    This raises two problems: First, if he is acquitted, where will he be released? Likely, he'll just be invited to walk out the door and onto the streets of New York. Second, is there a danger of terrorist retaliation or attempts to interdict the trial with violence?

  • Because of 911 he justifies torture. Not not if he's evil or just cruel.

  • Obama is attacking a red herring when he defends his decision to send the worst terrorists at Gitmo to US prisons by saying the likelihood of escape from secure federal facilities is very low. But when it comes to federal judges, we can't be so sure.

    We sent the terrorists to Gitmo rather than bring them onto US soil since Bush feared, quite correctly, that if the inmates were in federal prisons on US territory, federal judges would take their pleas for constitutional rights more seriously.

  • just listening to cheney speak makes me absolutely sick, how can one guy lie so much and not have a problem with it

  • Like many citizens, I want to see Cheney arrested and tried, but I don't want to see President Obama's entire term become about the Bush/Cheney criminal administration.

    I voted to see meaningful health care and energy reform and a decent economy that helps everyone succeed. I DIDN'T vote to spend valuable time on Cheney's sick tirades and the media's obvious need for ratings.

  • Like many citizens, I want to see Cheney arrested and tried, but I don't want to see President Obama's entire term become about the Bush/Cheney criminal administration.

  • Torture is a crime. Everyone who came up with this torture policy needs to be arrested and tried. Some of the media have dropped the ball on reporting this issue in a comprehensive way.

  • Thank you for keeping us safe, VP Cheney !!!!!

  • not exactly there is a 50/50 chance that it worked and it didnt

    THAT IS WHY US LAW MADE IT ILLEGAL FROM THE START

    the chance that it kept us safe is exactly he same chance they forced pp to tell lies TO INVADE IRAQ

    do not trust polticians they are all bad but some are evil

  • I will say this again: Dick Cheney is a corrupt businessman, nothing more.

  • Dick Cheney may be the most evil person who's ever been in any position of power in the the west.

  • I like your guys commentary. Keep it up!

  • how can you say he kept you safe when 9/11 happened under their watch? why did the attack happen, bc dick and bush were just chilling, they dont give a shit...they just talk a lot!

  • where are the evidences that torture prevent attacks?? are they still unreleased ?

  • Cheney has them in his office. Just trust him. Has he ever lied to you before?

  • Yeah! Let's get his ass for keeping us safe for 7 1/2 using legal methods.

    Let's get his ass for using harsh interrogation techniques on hardened terrorists with important information.

    Let's politicize national security because it just helps us keep this country safe. So let's ignore that Obama released documents that should never have been released.

    Yeah, let's get him!

    YOU DUMBASSES!

  • Lets get him for trampling the constitution. Let's get him for illegally spying on Americans. Let's get him for undermining American interests world wide. Let's get him for getting our soldiers killed purely to make more money for KBR.

    Lets get him for making the world think Americans approve of torture and war crimes.

    This isn't about politicizing anything and you know it. This is about the executive branch, according to Cheney, being above the law.

  • Amen megamarsvin! cheney is very evil. I suggest everyone google: Dick Cheney - A Most Dangerous Game!

  • I do not think people here understand the true scope of your ignorance and stupidity. How did you get so fucking dumb?

  • we let fuckers like you into our gene pool. If youre so fucking brilliant then please engage in proactive eugenics and do us all a favor and delet your genes from our otherwise great and noble gene pool.

    Must be nice to be ruler of the fucking cosmos...but if you were really so god damn smart youd be doing something. Instead your some limp dicked big mouth who bitches form the safety of his Mommy's living room. Grab a fucking rifle if your so smart and become a grunt.

    Or do you just talk big

  • Man how many of these accounts have you made, just to troll a single news channel? Dude don't you have anything better to do with your life? No wonder you're so bitter and angry all the time.

  • 8yrs of Cheney was torture on Constitution.

    Cheney/Palin 2012 ??

  • So it was not a crime because technically torture was not committed within the boundaries of USA. Cheney and others knew that one day they would be prosecuted for this, long before they did the war.

  • The only reason Gitmo was established was because it was not US soil so that torture would not be illegal. The goal of selecting that location was primarily was torturing without seemingly breaking the law of the USA. That was the idea suggested and defended by Law Professor Alan Dershowitz on National Television- I watched- sometime before the war, before the first prisoners arrived.

  • Wrong. Learn some law and dont quote shit from the internet to sound smart. GITMO US Bases any where in the world, US Ships at sea in ANY waters what do they all have in common?

    They are by LAW CONSIDERED TO BE U.S. SOIL. Meaning all Constitutional LAWS on these Bases and ships are APPLICABLE.

    You are not helping the conversation when you are not educated about that of which you speak. I know you HATE Cheney as much as I do. But get facts correct. So we may get his ass right the first time

  • Ih spent the rest of his life in prison - it would not be enough, but it would be a start . . .

  • Keep it up TYT. I hope you get the spot on MSNBC. I more often than not listen to your podcast before i go to bed.

  • Thanks, Wes. That's exactly the point we should be making. How many innocent people are we willing to torture and kill in the name of "defending freedom?"

  • At this time, everybody realizes that Dick Cheney is a liar, except, perhaps, Dick Cheney. That makes him even more dangerous. His family should insist that he undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Taunting terrorists to attack the United States as a justification for the Bush/Cheney era of evil doing is more than pathological. That fact that a contingent of the GOP supports his lunacy, is only diagnostic for that group of people. Can't, at least, one Republican confront Cheney's lies?

  • and Bethbo33 she thinks Cheney is right too.

  • Whereas Cenk just continues to lie period!

  • Cheney is a genius. He crushed your little Hitler puppet Osamashit. He will continue to expose your shit messiah

  • You are sick and your mother should be waterboard for have a spattered runny piece of shit like you!~

  • Get a life moron.

  • you're so right...we should throw the constitution out when we are scared like little children.

    We should scoop up people we dont like and beat them to death

    we should spy on Americans

    we should make up facts and do what ever it takes

    so that we can kill off everyone we dont like

    Look how well it turned out for Hitler, Paul Pot, Stalin, Sadam

    Yep your right Cheney is just as smart as all those guys and thats why HE is using their perfect plan

    I mean shit they always work out.

  • the interigation methods we used were not even torture. places in europe use the same thing that we did. and think of what they would do to us. not at all torture compared to what they would do. research it.

    we actually saved americans by those interigations, but of course obama will never say that.

    and america has never killed ppl that we just don't like. we kill them if they try to hurt americans

  • you are wrong. The use of water boarding is illegal. It was a crime tried by the Hauge Courts and the Geneva convention after WWII, We are part of both conventions

    The "information" we got was made up and was 7 monts after a plot was defeated using basic law enforcement techniques.

    Terrorisim is a crime.

    Your arguement is full of misinformation and to most of us here you sound nieve.

    YOU should go and read. I have 24 years of ARMY service and THREE combat tours

    you have done what?

  • mynameisbobtoo, God bless you for your years of service. I hope the Government treats you fairly and with the honor that your tours of duty deserves! Thank you for telling everyone that what's being done is illegal, because it's YOUR words that matter!

  • wow... well said and i think its about time to recognise and admit the mistakes and try to move on from it! i think Obama is doing a great job so far making all these changes.

  • If he crushed Osama, then why does he keep releasing tapes ?

    Cheney/Palin in 2012 ?

  • Cheney and Bush EVIL!!~

  • Why do evil people live a long time?

  • Also what we were doing is NOT torture. The Iron Maiden, crushed knuckles, the Rack, red hot pokers, suspension by hooks, bamboo slivers under the fingernails, what McCain endured,,, that is torture. Water boarding is not. The attorney general even said so... He said what we do to train our troops does them NO harm.

  • Suggest you watch One of the latest TYT videos Mancow gets tortured.. If you got Waterboarded you would say its torture too

  • All torturers will burn in hell with Cheney. The lowest form of human life on earth.

  • The New York Times caught the Bush administration in LIES, that's why they were being published on the front page! Cheney's ego has allowed him to blab enough of the Bush administration's power grabbing and Constitution shreading to call for a full investigation. Bush, Cheney & Rumsfeld deserve FEDERAL PRISON, until they are DEAD.

  • Good points.

    Yes, this is a test case for if there is going to be law by the people and for the people, or law by the wealthy ruling class and for the wealthy ruling class.

  • why do republicans want to control everybody and have this hypocritical moral sense of right and wrong...where it is OKAY to torture but it's NOT OKAY to smoke weed...cause U'r gonna kill yourself...and that's THEIR JOB

  • Cheney thinks he is the living God, but actually he's a devil who has caused many deaths, injuries, heartaches, and unimaginable misery.

  • Cheney thinks he is living in a Tom Clancy novel.

  • the point is not who is to blame but who is willing to right a wrong

  • There was no vote on torture.

    Grow up.

  • you do realise picard that you didnt actually say anything in that post?? 'Liberals cant deal with difficult topics like national defense so they just blame everybody else.' seriously what the hell are you talking about??

  • Cheney would be more credible if Mary Cheney (his lezbo daughter) made out with Sarah Palin.

  • Norwonk,

    You're clueless. You think terrorists captured on foreign soil have Constitutional rights?  You're a joke. Stop embarrassing your parents.

  • That's right, you don't grant habeas corpus to terrorists at Gitmo or Bagram, because we have no way of trying these people. Our courts aren't set up for these kinds of trials, which is why they are being held in indefinite detention.

    Obama is the dumbest MF on the planet. He's also the most corrupt and dishonest person in Washington. He's a boy holding a man's job, and he's intellectually incapable to doing the job, not to mention a effete metrosexual imbecile.
