Reply #22: Did they take into account what Cheney said last Sunday that

[ThomThom]

they were told to give that advise? They knowing gave bad advise because they were told to, so the administration could make it look like there was a reasonable difference of opinion on the legality of torture. They should still be disbarred for giving such clearly wrong legal advise but I don't think it was criminal what they did. The criminal part comes in when Bush invaded and tortured no matter what advise was given to him. If someone told me it was not against the law to rob a bank and acting on that advise I knock off the Bank of America branch down the street, when I was caught I would be convicted. The person telling me it was ok would walk away, laughing probably. Bush should have known invasion was wrong, torture was wrong, holding people with out legal representation or trial is wrong and because he did these things he should suffer the consequences. Cheney too.
