Dick Cheney is a liar and a national disgrace. Fox News employs Hannity, a known propagandist, to "interview" Cheney.

The world watches, hoping for some insight into a man who proclaims that torture "was justified".

Unfortunately Hannity is not up to the task, being scripted by his handlers, and wastes everyone's time.

Nobody wants to believe that we are the enablers of bad government when we elect smooth-talking liars like Cheney. The mentally-challenged Bush was elected to two terms. Did people think that Cheney was there just to sweep the floors?

If we do not prosecute all that were responsible for torturing prisoners we will set the stage for future Administrations to set their own rules, regardless of international laws, treaties, and just plain human decency.

to see how this country, being an advocate for democracy, human decency, religious values, the rule of law, international treaties, anti-abortion policies, feeding the starving, etc. can entertain the slightest notion that the enablers and the perpetrators of torture can be excused on any grounds whatsoever.

Your twisted, Fox News inspired and Obama-hating argument holds no water. Speaking of which, have you been waterboarded? Ever been put in a box? Kept sleepless for days?

No? I didn't think so.

The dark cloud that we have been under during the Bush years is gone. Obama is making strides to rebuild American moral values and to engage the world in a productive way, opposite the Bush/Cheney manifesto "our way or no way".

If Dick Cheney, Condoleeza Rice or others in the Bush Administration are guilty of formulating policy approving torture they should be prosecuted and imprisoned if necessary.

That will send a clear message to anyone thinking that torture is "justified".

The Repukes are regurgitating 50s era name-calling.

It's a pity that 4,000 Americans and 90,000 Iraqis deaths fail to move the Repukes but renaming the Democratic Party occupies their time.

Fox News move over, your supremacy in the world of idiots is being challenged.

has to be above politics, above religion, above expediency, above anyone past and present in government (as it is with private citizens).

There should be no further discussion as to whether officials should be prosecuted for violating laws and treaties.

Investigate, and if evidence exists for prosecution move forward with all vigor.

The prosecution of Bush, Cheney, and everyone involved with the use of torture, must be done in order to preserve the rule of law and our leadership in the free world.

To do otherwise puts us a notch below the aplogists for torture, and assures that subsequent Administrations will not have to fear the consequences for breaking laws and treaties.

A very hard line has to be drawn here. Either we are a nation of laws or we are not.

I am amazed at the number of "Christians" that have told me that torture is justified.

I don't care what the Bush apologists say. I know what I see, and that is all that is needed to know the failures of the Bush presidency.

For eight years Bush fiddled while America was burning.

Imagine a guy strapped down and being waterboarded for the 20th time. What is he going to say?

Is he going to ask "What's for lunch today?" or is he going to say anything that will make the waterboarding stop.

The fact that Cheney would propose a justification for torture sheds a very bright light into his criminal mind and the stupidity of his supporters.

Releasing all of the documents will not change the fact that torture was used.

Cheney's assertion is that the documents will somehow provide a justification for the use of torture.

Cheney just doesn't get it. There is no justification under US law, the Geneva Accords, and treaties for the use of torture.

Once we start looking for reasons and loopholes allowing the use of torture we have crossed the line. We become the enemy.

Let's see. During Bush's two terms over 4,000 Americans have been killed in Iraq in an unecessary war, thousands more have been badly wounded, our treasury has been drained, our Constitution has been shat upon, our nation deeply divided, our federal offices charged with protecting us against domestic disasters, domestic fraud and food safety have been staffed by unqualified political appointees. America's moral leadership has been all but destroyed.

Offhand I'd say Bush and Cheney and Rice and Rumsfeld and others have done far more damage, caused more unecessary American and Iraqi deaths and have done our "enemies" work for them.

I never have and I never will.

I gave up comic books decades ago. Fox is the comic book in the news industry.

The information industry failed during the Vietnam War and it is failing with the Iraq War and the "war on terrorism".

The liars and propagandists have been on a feeding frenzy. Their enablers, Fox News and other mainstream news organizations have been exposing themselves as mere rumor-mongers publishing opinion pieces disguised as factual, and usually without a shred of hard facts to back up their stories.

There are too few shining lights in mainstream journalism today. The noise from the blowhards often overshadows the hard work done by good journalism. This is the product of commercializing the news.

When news "reporting" is based upon what is determined to be desired by a biased audience, the process is corrupted. Fox News illustrates this perfectly.
