But Who Would Torture Folks?

Dick Cheney is tripping all over himself in his comments on the declassified Senate report on CIA torture. Here he says:

“The notion that the agency was operating on a rogue basis was just a flat out lie," Cheney said.

Then he says

"rectal rehydration" mentioned in the report, "was not one of the authorized or approved techniques." 

 OK, so they were not rogues, but they were. Or, they were rogues, but they were not. Were, were not, WHATEVER. Does it really MATTER? The CIA torturers were "patriots" according to GW Bush, and Obama said they do their job really well. So let's not get hung up on little words like "not", "were", and "rectal rehydration".
