regarding Cheney's torture 'admission'

'In this afternoon's briefing, White House spokesman Tony Snow sparred with the press regarding Vice President Dick Cheney's torture "admission."

During an interview on a conservative radio show earlier this week, Cheney was asked whether he agreed "that if it takes dunking a terrorist in water, we're all for it, if it saves American lives."

"It's a no-brainer for me," Cheney responded. "But for a while there I was being criticized as the vice president for torture."

Snow told the press that Cheney was denying that his comments were specifically referring to the practice known as "water boarding." They had been seen as the first admission by a Bush administration official that terrorist detainees has been subjected to the practice, which even some Republican Senators consider torture.' http://www.rawstory.com/news/2006/White_House_spokesman_spars_with_press_1027.html
