The question that should have been asked of Dick Cheney on "Meet the Press," should have been if he authorized torture on the likes of al-Libi in order to get them to falsely confess about Iraq's involvement in 9-11. It seems to me that the Bush administration used one war crime (torture) in order to justify another(the invasion of Iraq).
