Dick Cheney Lies About Torture Working?

150+ Fox News Bias videos at http://www.youtube.com/view_play_list?p=A3BD2524FE99BD4D

Soon after the Obama Administration successfully killed al-Qaeda leader Osama Bin Laden, Fox News and the right wing began spinning the event as a justification for the Bush Administration's so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques," including the torture method known as waterboarding, with former Vice President Dick Cheney getting a friendly interview from Fox News Sunday's Chris Wallace to spin the comments of the Obama Administration's departing CIA director, Leon Panetta, and to misstate the conclusion of a CIA report as supporting the effectiveness of torture, as I show in this video.

Dude... you should DEFINITELY go on the daily show. You would be welcomed with open arms.

@webtechservices1 alright, I'm sorry, but are you defending the news network that stated "victory for bush"? there is SO MANY faults with fox news I'm surprised this man has enough time to sleep. It's obvious he's slamming fox, and it's obvious he's a liberal... what else did you expect? not to mention he gives you free reign to discuss THE TOPIC. Furthermore, I would love to see an example of this man spinning anything, please and thank you.

@Coramelimane He's talking the SEAL raid.

[HimesInu]

@ButterflyStorms No, thr Bush Administration lied about Saddam having anything to do with 9/11. Even going beyond popular media, it is very clear that bin Laden orchastrated it. As for unarmed people being killed during the night raid, that's a laugh. Even if they were unarmed, given the chance they would have shot at the SEALs. And had we told Pakistan, someone would have told bin Laden. It's happened before.

You really do need your own space as a prime time weekly aired show.

[Coramelimane]

They got an Islamic detainee to sing, by offering him some cookies and smokes.

When they then tortured him, he clammed up and gave them false information.

[Coramelimane]

@ButterflyStorms You mean the drone attacks that happened under Bush's administration? Obama has not authorized any offensives into Pakistan.

[ButterflyStorms]

OKay. Let's get a few things straight. The Bush Administration lied about Osama bin Laden having anything to do with 9/11. That should be pretty much known by now with even a little investigation beyond the popular news. There is only faulty evidence that Osama was murdered by the Seals his body quickly disposed of --- at sea???

The invasion of Pakistan by Obama's order was a criminal offence and the murders of the unarmed people remain criminal also.

What's going on down there? Are you a little upset? Did you get your feelings hurt? Don't worry, things will get better. The only thing to do now is accept what you will and move on. Trolling doesn't change a thing.

@TheLogicalflaw lol. thelogicalflaw. pretty accurate in your case.
