It's Purely Political! Why Else Would Someone Investigate Criminal Activities?!

Great story about what Cheney thinks of the Justice Department investigating the torture-tactics of the CIA.

This is very relevant to me because I'm reading Jane Mayer's The Dark Side, all about how the Bush Administration knew EXACTLY what was going on, and in fact specifically outlined what was and wasn't okay for interrogations in the CIA prisons, Guantanamo and the military prisons abroad. It's also important to you because all of this was done in your name for your protection. Except that independent and military studies have shown that only about 8% of detainees at Guantanamo actually had anything to do with any sort of terrorism; that a a massive majority of the prisoners "captured" in Afghanistan were actually random people captured by Pakistani and tribesmen and turned over to the US Military in exchange for a bounty.

So yeah, thanks Cheney.
