Stansfield Turner takes a shot at Cheney

I don't know how tuned in Stansfield Turner is at this point, but this is quite a statement.

A former CIA director has exclusively told ITV News that torture is condoned and even approved by the Bush government.

The devastating accusations have been made by Admiral Stansfield Turner who labelled Dick Cheney "a vice president for torture".

He said: "We have crossed the line into dangerous territory".

I'm still waiting for the "You can't handle the truth" defense of torture. They've danced around it with the "these are really bad people" language, but they have yet to go all out with the "the world is so ugly, you don't want to know what we do. Trust us."
