CHENEY IS A RAELIAN

I found this in a dairy by Hunter at DKOs and I had to read it twice to make sure I hadn't made a big mistake. I didn't. Cheney lied to the people who attended his speech at CPAC:
America is a fair and a decent country. (Applause.) President Bush has made it clear, both publicly and privately, that our duty to uphold the laws and standards of this nation admit no exceptions in wartime. As he put it, "We are in a fight for our principles, and our first responsibility is, live by them.

Did Cheney not realize that the head of the CIA admitted to using torture? Did he miss out on Pres. Fredo refusing to obey 4 laws? This is what the U.N. thinks about waterboarding:
Waterboarding should be prosecuted as torture: U.N.

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - The controversial interrogation technique known as waterboarding and used by the United States qualifies as torture, the U.N. human rights chief said on Friday.

"I would have no problems with describing this practice as falling under the prohibition of torture," the U.N. High Commissioner for Human Rights, Louise Arbour, told a news conference in Mexico City.
