Cheney managed to string together a whole series of bald faced lies about links between Saddam Hussein and Al-Qaeda, Iraq's purported possession of weapons of mass destruction, the notion that when we use water boarding it's an "enhanced interrogation technique" while if anyone else does it it's torture and finally that the torture led to the prevention of further attacks rather than that they were attempts to justify invading Iraq ex post facto.

I've got to give it to Mr. Cheney while he maybe a war criminal of the first order he certainly has message discipline.
