Sen. Angus King, who is on the intelligence committee, (I-ME) reacted to Cheneys comments during a Sunday appearance on MSNBC.
I was stunned to hear that quote from Vice President Cheney, King explained. If he doesnt think that was torture, I would invite him anywhere in the United States to sit in a waterboard and go through what those people went through, one of them a hundred and plus-odd times.
Thats ridiculous to make that claim! This was torture by anybodys definition, he continued. John McCain says its torture, and I think hes in a better position to know this than Vice President Cheney. I was shocked to hear that statement that he just made.
And to say that it was carefully managed, and everybody knew what was going on, thats absolutely nonsense.

Amen.
