Given that he’s so enthusiastic, we can start by waterboarding Cheney.

Cheney: I Would Not Discontinue ‘Enhanced Interrogation’ Programs

Get back into your crypt.

Thanks for your input Dick.

Darth Cheney crawls back out from under his rock to defend his legacy.

Mostly he’s upset that they didn’t build the floating torture droid from ‘A New Hope’ in time for him to watch it work.

Did they ask him how the search for WMDs in Iraq is going?

robb_ludwig · May 10, 2018, 11:53am

Will someone please help this elderly dotard to his war crimes trial?

sniffit · May 10, 2018, 11:54am

Shut up and die please.

So much heart disease and so little death. Pact with the devil—that’s the only rational explanation.

Instead of simulated drowning, we could put marbles in the towel and simulate being shot in the face.

Iraq War - 4400 dead Americans and $3 Trillion down the drain.
You outdid Osama bin Laden Dick.

I would not discontinue applying my foot to the gas if I saw him crossing the street.

thebigragu · May 10, 2018, 11:57am

What did the devil get in return?

erik_t · May 10, 2018, 11:59am

“Would not discontinue” is weak, passive, sad language.

Go shoot another friend in the face. Maybe that’ll get your spirits up.

Well, that’s surely a rousing endorsement for Ms. Haspel! Cheney is so admired and respected and popular. Too bad Pol Pot and August Pinochet aren’t still around. I’m sure they’d both give a “thumbs up”, too.

honeyboywilson · May 10, 2018, 11:59am

I thought he was dead. Hell, he looks dead. Where did they dig him up?

bodie1 · May 10, 2018, 12:00pm

I thought he could only appear in the dark of night?

mattinpa · May 10, 2018, 12:01pm

Good question. Insider stock tip, maybe, or a letter of recommendation.

voreason · May 10, 2018, 12:01pm

The Ghoul speaks.

He should have been waterboarded to get him to confess to revealing Valerie Plame’s identity.

It would only have been fair.

Freaking war criminal.

“which some call torture” !?!?!?

Am I reading Fox News?

Like forcing sex on your wife, which some call rape.

From Wikipedia:

Enhanced interrogation techniques" or “enhanced interrogation” is a euphemism for the U.S. government’s program of systematic torture of detainees by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA), and various components of the U.S. Armed Forces at black sites around the world, including Bagram, Guantanamo Bay, and Abu Ghraib, authorized by officials of the George W. Bush administration.
