He admitted to authorizing waterboarding and according to international treaties it's a war crime. That makes Cheney a war criminal. The Chimp administration was not at liberty to redefine these treaties unilateraly. But, no surprize that a Brownshirt like you would deny it.

What were the two words? "I do." ABC News correspondent Jonathan Karl interviewed Cheney on Monday and, at one point, asked him:

"[O]ne of those tactics, of course, widely reported was waterboarding. And that seems to be a tactic we no longer use. Even that you think was appropriate?"
To which Cheney replied: "I do."

Earlier in the interview, Karl asked Cheney,

"Did you authorize the tactics that were used against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?"
and Cheney replied:

"I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared, as the agency in effect came in and wanted to know what they could and couldn't do. And they talked to me, as well as others, to explain what they wanted to do. And I supported it."
