1. If torture worked to get information
They wouldn't have had to do it over 200 times. It never works to get good information and it never has. Every intelligence agency knows torture is simply amusement for sick minds and not legitimate fact finding. Cheney can go cheney himself.

2. This is the same ploy that was used to attack Iraq.. If you don't show us
what you don't have .. it's proof that you're guilty.

4. I don't give a shit if he has reams of proof. Torture is fucking wrong
