Top Bush Adviser Contradicts Cheney


As Greg points out, this should settle it, but it won't.

Former Bush homeland security adviser Frances Townsend contradicted claims by former Vice President Dick Cheney that a CIA report proved that torture of terrorism suspects worked, Greg Sargent reports.

Said Townsend: "It's very difficult to draw a cause and effect, because it's not clear when techniques were applied vs. when that information was received. It's implicit. It seems, when you read the report, that we got the -- the -- the most critical information after techniques had been applied. But the report doesn't say that."
