‘I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A MINUTE’: Dick Cheney’s An Official Unrepentant BAD-ASS
Cheney remains unchanged over CIA’s torture program.
Former Vice President Dick Cheney continued his fierce defense of the harsh interrogation techniques used by the CIA in the wake of the 9/11 attacks, defiantly saying that he ‘would do it again in a minute.’
Speaking on NBC’s Meet The Press on Sunday, Cheney said there was ‘no comparison’ between the tactics and the deaths of American citizens on September 11, 2001, adding that the CIA had ‘very carefully avoided’ the practice of torture.
‘Torture is what the Al-Qaeda terrorists did to 3,000 Americans on 9/11. There is no comparison between that and what we did with respect to enhanced interrogation,’ said Cheney.
The former vice president also said he wasn’t concerned about that some of the foreign nationals captured and interrogated turned out to be innocent.

His comments come in the wake of a damning Senate report into the CIA treatment of Al-Qaeda suspects that has triggered global revulsion.
