"Former vice president Richard B. Cheney personally oversaw at least four briefings with senior members of Congress about the controversial interrogation program, part of a secretive and forceful defense he mounted throughout 2005 in an effort to maintain support for the harsh techniques used on detainees." I guess this is kind of a big deal, but I will be much more impressed when the news comes out that Cheney personally oversaw at least four controversial interrogations. I bet his scary grunts took on a weirdly sexual overtone during each waterboarding.

I wouldnt mind someone overseeing my briefings...I think you know what I mean babydoll.
What I found interesting about this story was that Cheney's name appeared nowhere on the CIA reports listing attendance at Congressional briefings -- reports offered as 'proof' that Pelosi had been fully briefed on waterboarding.
Then again, no one should be surprised that the CIA engages in deception. I mean, it is part of the job description, isn't it?
Everytime I see this photo, it makes me think he was probably watching a small animal being ripped to shreds by jackals when it was taken.
Would Cheney approve of waterboarding as an "enhanced technique" to convince other conservatives to come around on gay marriage?
It says "Cheney personally oversaw at least four controversial interrogations" but I read "Cheney personally oversaw at least four congressional interrogations".
