Admiral Stansfield Turner:"Cheney is VP for torture"

ITV: "Admiral Turner, who ran the CIA from '77 to '81 said this when speaking of Bush's claims that the US does not use torture: ""I do not believe him". On Cheney he said "I'm embarrassed the US has a vice president for torture. He condones torture, what else is he?". Turner claims the secret CIA prisons used for torture known as 'black sites': terror suspects are picked up in places like Afghanistan and Pakistan. "They are flown by CIA-controlled private aircraft to countries where there are secret interrogation centres, operating outside any country's jurisdiction. The Senate says torture should be banned - whatever the justification- but torture is condoned and even approved by the Bush govt. We have crossed the line into dangerous territory." Time for the old Admiral to be labeled unpatriotic by Scottie the Lying Dough Boy eh?
