The Cell

Painting by Cambodian artist Vann Nath. He was waterboarded by the Khmer Rouge. 14,000 men entered the cell in Nath's painting. He is one of seven to have survived.

Vice-President Dick Cheney doesn't see waterboarding as evil as the methods used byterrorists.

Q Would you agree a dunk in water is a no-brainer if it can save lives?

THE VICE PRESIDENT: It's a no-brainer for me, but for a while there, I was criticized as being the Vice President "for torture." We don't torture. That's not what we're involved in. We live up to our obligations in international treaties that we're party to and so forth. But the fact is, you can have a fairly robust interrogation program without torture, and we need to be able to do that.

The entire waterboarding policy has been a "no-brainer." The White House violated the Geneva Conventions, produce garbage intelligance, and hurt America's reputation abroard. The White House should have spent more time using analytical thinking skills and less on no-brainers.
