Cheney's argument over use of torture has been used by many a villian
Yes, Cheney employs an old argument to justify torture. We have heard this many times before. He is upset that President Obama released the memos which Bush officials wrote to support their use of these "enhanced interrogation techniques". He wants other memos released, which show the benefits they got from using torture. Or to put it in its simplest terms, he says yes, we used those techniques, and are proud we did. Why? Because to Dick Cheney and his supporters, the ends justify the means! That is the same logic as terrorists use to explain why they do the acts they do. Are we no better?

Actually, the ends do not justify the means according to most studies on torture. Torture is found to be an INEFFECTIVE means for extracting useful information from terrorists. That conclusion apparently was communicated to BUSH and his cronies like Cheney. They simply chose to disregard the facts and are still claiming torture was and is justified.
My hope is that Bush and his buddies, like Cheney, are eventually tried and found guilty of war crimes.
