: I added this - "In a recent interview, [[Vice President]] [[Dick Cheney]] described waterboarding as a "very important tool" in the interrogation of [[Khalid Sheikh Mohammed]], but said that he did not consider it torture.<ref>http://www.whitehouse.gov/news/releases/2006/10/20061024-7.html</ref>." No doubt it's factual, it's straight from the interview. Cut out the middle man. Take that, BBC!-'''<font color="#007FFF">Ames</font><font color="#FF0000">G</font>'''<sub>[http://www.conservapedia.com/User_talk:AmesG yo!]</sub> 15:09, 13 April 2007 (EDT)

:It reads,
::'''...our ability to interrogate..."'''; says nothing about waterboarding and continues with,
::"The Congress recently voted on this question of military commissions and '''our authority to continue the interrogation program'''. It passed both Houses, fortunately. The President signed it into law, but the fact is 177 Democrats in the House -- or excuse me, 162 Democrats in the House voted against it, and 32 out of 44 senators -- Democratic senators voted against it.
:and as he concludes in the next sequence,
::" We don't torture. That's not what we're involved in. We live up to our obligations in international treaties that we're party to and so forth. But the fact is, you can have a fairly robust interrogation program without torture, and we need to be able to do that.
:So even as the ''Guardian'' stated, "implied" is clearly false. And the ''Christain Sciance Monitor'' article is pure defamatory, disinformation, wholey without a shred of credible merit, and patently false. Any claim on any subject from any of these organizations, or the authors involved, is henceforth suspect [[User:RobS|RobS]] 15:17, 13 April 2007 (EDT)
