A defiant former Vice President Dick Cheney stood by his defense of the extreme interrogation techniques used by the CIA on detainees in the wake of the 9/11 terrorist attacks on Sunday, saying, "I would do it again in a minute." Critics of the interrogation tactics -- detailed in a recently released controversial Senate report -- contend they should be considered torture and regretted. But Cheney said there is no "moral equivalence" between the terrorists' actions and the CIA's interrogation techniques. "With respect to trying to define that as torture, I come back to the proposition torture was what the al Qaeda terrorists did to 3,000 Americans on 9/11," Cheney said on NBC's "Meet the Press" on Sunday. "There's no comparison between that and what we did with the respect to enhanced interrogation."Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he supports the CIA's Bush-era interrogation tactics"I would do it again in a minute," he said on SundayCheney called the recently released Senate report on the practices "seriously flawed"
The former vice president also dispelled the report's findings that then-President _ was unaware of the techniques taking place, saying that Bush authorized the tactics, and the report detailing otherwise is a "lie."
