Like father, like daughter (and speaking of daughter, read this in response to the Pincus article she references):
It is absolutely vital that we hang on every word that the Nation of Dick utters, because he will finally provide the long-sought answers we've all been looking for. And who would ever doubt his word? His credibility can only be surpassed by that of... well, Rumsfeld, Bush, Gonzales, Libby, Rove....Next Thursday, former Vice President Cheney will give a speech at the American Enterprise Institute making a global case for the Bush administration's use of torture and indefinite detainment of suspected terrorists as core parts of its War on Terror.
Here's AEI's description of the event ... [...]
Amid claims that the interrogation methods amount to torture and that those who approved them should be prosecuted or censured, it is clear that we know surprisingly little about the scope and efficacy of the Bush administration's national security policy. Many questions linger: What type of information did enhanced interrogation methods yield? Were lives saved as a result? Could that intelligence have been effectively collected by other means? How effective was the terrorist surveillance program in detecting the threat of al Qaeda and its operatives in the post-9/11 period? Will inhibiting these procedures cost more American lives?
On May 21, former vice president Dick Cheney will speak at AEI to address these critical issues and provide a blueprint for keeping America safe in the future.
