2008-12-15 "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."
-- -- Dick Cheney, Vice-President USA, in an interview with ABC News in response to the question: "Did you authorize the tactics that were used against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed?"
2008-12-15 "On the question of so-called torture, we don't do torture. We never have. It's not something that this administration subscribes to. Again, we proceeded very cautiously. We checked. We had the Justice Department issue the requisite opinions in order to know where the bright lines were that you could not cross.

The professionals involved in that program were very, very cautious, very careful -- wouldn't do anything without making certain it was authorized and that it was legal. And any suggestion to the contrary is just wrong."
-- Dick Cheney, Vice-President USA, in an interview with ABC News
2008-08-27 Success in Iraq has allowed us to continue the President's policy of return-on-success. We've reduced the length of combat tours from 15 months back down to 12.

Further troop movements will, as always, depend on what is happening on the ground.

2008-08-27 The CIA program involves tough customers and tough interrogations -- but it is entirely legal and proper.
