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?
