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.

Sen. Levin has claimed that Cheney is wrong about the contents of the 2 still-classified documents about interrogation: they don't reveal that torture provided valuable information.
