Levin: Memo's show that what Cheney is saying is a "lie"

Friday, May 29, 2009

As reported by CNN,a report surfaced that Senator Carl Levin, chairman of the Senate ASrmed Services Committee, claims that what former Vice-President Dick Cheney's said about waterboarding was definitely not the truth. Why did Cheney think that President Obama would continue to play a game of cat and mouse with him. President Obama is totally focused on his job, and he has a Cabinet of men and women backing him. He has his whole presidency in front of him, and now a former vice-president tries to outwardly say that his belief in waterboarding is good and that it worked in Bush's administration. Now, he has to face other people claiming that he is not telling the truth. He opened up a 'can of worms' by doing so, and it looks like the waterboarding issue will now continue. I'm sure that former President George Bush is not too appreciative of his comments. Maybe he needs to take advise from the former commander and chief, and stay quiet. President Bush never criticized Obama during the election process, and never has during the Obama Presidency. President Obama and former President George Bush appearently talk. Cheney must now face a statement made by Levin, stating the new administration deems the techniques torture and "gives the lie to Mr. Cheney's claims." Is Cheney lying? He may now have to face a committee to investigate the charges that he is not tell the truth about the former administration that he was part of.
Facts now surfacing from the justice department now show that Bush administration lawyers authorized the use of techniques such as sleep deprivation, slapping, stress positions and waterboarding, which produces the sensation of drowning. In contrast, Obama states that "I can stand here tonight and say without exception or equivocation that the United States of America does not torture," as he said to a joint session of Congress in February. Now President Obama says he is trying to clean up "a mess" left behind by the Bush administration.
Watch an interview at the White House discussing 'watereboarding' and Obama policies not to take part in torture.
