Whatever the authorizations were, they didn't waterboard anyone for the last several years of Bush's tenure; yet we are hearing over and over that only waterboarding can protect us from the worst attacks. So which is it, we must have it or it isn't necessary now? Since we don't have actual proof of Cheney's assertion that it worked, the idea that it is ever necessary is flimsy at best. He is talking his own book at every turn.

The record is full of contradictions that need to be made clear. We don't need to lower ourselves to the level of banana republic torture goons to maintain our safety and freedom, period.
