Getting Away With Torture - Dalia Lithwick

This week Dick Cheney invites us all to join him again in a game he likes to play against the rest of us called Tedious Torture Standoff. He continues to assert—this time in his memoir, In My Time—that he has "no regrets" about developing the U.S. torture program, and he continues to argue—as he did this morning on the Today Show—that torturing prisoners is "safe, legal, and effective."



Dick Cheney is living proof that if we are not brave enough to enforce our laws, we will forever be at the mercy of a handful of men.
