Dick Cheney, born in 1941, rose to prominence in U.S. politics as Secretary of Defense and Vice President under George W. Bush, influencing foreign and defense policies, particularly post-9/11. Despite health issues, he remained politically active, even endorsing Kamala Harris in the 2024 election, highlighting his commitment to principles over party loyalty.
“…a nice group of people…” “Hey, Jim: I really enjoyed the conference,” begins an email to Mitchell after a gathering of “a nice group of people” that included interrogators, psychologists, and psychiatrists from Guantánamo.

John McCain: ‘I Don’t Give A Damn’ What Trump Says–We Won’t Bring Back Torture (VIDEO)
Donald Trump (in)famously vowed that if he becomes president, this country would start using enhanced interrogation techniques once again–including waterboarding. He seemed to come to his senses before doubling down on that vow later in 2016. Well, if he tries to make good on that promise, he’s going to run into a very large roadblock–John McCain.

New Poll Shows Americans Are Total Idiots, Part Zillionteen
It’s always fun slash super depressing to check in on what U.S. Americans “think” about “stuff.” Sometimes they have good thoughts — like that Republicans are petty petulant obstructionist swizzle dicks who should do their damned goddamned jobs. Good for you, you Americans who think that, you are correct! Sometimes, however, Americans have terrible thoughts that are bad and wrong and terrible. For example:

Donald Trump Wants to Authorize 'Something Beyond Waterboarding'
Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump said the United States needs to authorize "something beyond waterboarding" in order to better fight terror groups. Trump justified the use of waterboarding and other unnamed advanced interrogation techniques because terror groups use greater measures to inflict fear and harm. "Do we win by being more like them?" asked Stephanopoulos. http://dlvr.it/KSBhHs Source: Yahoo News
Some time has passed since we last checked in on the pro-torture caucus of the 2016 Republican presidential field. There are a number of would-be presidents on the Republican side who either support reinstating the “enhanced interrogation tactics” employed on terrorism detainees during the Bush administration, or at least refuse to rule out the use of such tactics. The group of pro-torture candidates is growing, while the number of candidates who’ve ruled out the use of torture remains stubbornly low and unchanged. The latest Republican contender to embrace torture is New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie, who appeared on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe” this week (again) and vocally defended the legality and efficacy of waterboarding as an interrogation tactic.
Before we get to that, the stage must be set. The torture question came up courtesy of Joe Scarborough, who, in typical Scarborough fashion, prefaced his query with a lengthy explanation of how smart and informed Joe Scarborough is. “It sounds like your views are similar to mine on the war on terror: pretty tough, pretty expansive,” he said. “I don’t sit here wringing my hands over the three terrorists who were waterboarded, maybe because I know more details about it than many others.”
Chris Christie believes waterboarding is legal and necessary, and he'd resurrect a sorry chapter in our history
