McClatchy: Cheney Said In 2004 That Gitmo Detainees Revealed Iraq-al Qaeda Link

More evidence that the Vice President of the United States may have had people tortured in order to generate bogus evidence to save his historical ass.

Again: everyone must acknowledge that if that is what he did, he must go to prison. Even if those who believe that torture might be justifiable to defend innocent lives cannot believe that it is ever even remotely permissible in cases like this. Iraq had already fallen. There was no reason whatsoever to search for these links except for Cheney, Bush and company to attempt to save face.

If true, this would also undermine the "we should look forward not backward" defense by showing that that wasn't Cheney's attitude when it came to hunting for links to rationalize his war...
