The human rights organization Amnesty International has set up a Twitter account named "Cheney's Conscience" that mocks the former vice president and links to a petition calling on U.S. Attorney General Holder to open a torture investigation.

"Is it Friday yet?! Who knew whitewashing #torture would be this hard?" a tweet from August 23 said.

"Look, of course waterboarding isn’t #torture. The lawyers I instructed to tell me it wasn’t torture said so!" said another from August 19.

The bio of the Twitter page admits that the account is intended as a parody, but adds "there's nothing funny about war crimes." It also says Cheney's new memoir, In My Time, should be shelved in the "True Crime" section of bookstores.
