WHO IS TALKING about TORTURE?  

CIA videotapes of "enhanced interrogation" of detainees held in secret prisons were made in 2002, and destroyed in 2005, apparently with the encouragement of the White House.  These tapes showed waterboarding—where a prisoner is strapped down brought to the brink of drowning. 

The torture state goes directly to Dick Cheney's White House. MSNBC reports that Cheney endorsed the use of "water boarding" and confirmed it was used at Guantanamo.

Tonight, Frontline on PBS repeated Cheney's Law"  You can watch the entire program online here.

Friday Jan 11: UCLA students demonstrate waterboarding to protest torture.
