"The conservative radio host, Scott Hennen, asked Mr Cheney if he agreed that "a dunk in water is a no-brainer" if it would unearth information of pending attacks and save lives.
Mr Cheney replied: "Well, it's a no-brainer for me." He went on to say that he was not condoning torture but said you can have a robust interrogation programme without torture". Does this looks likes a stunt to rally the hard-core Republicans, who might not be feeling very upbeat lately, less than 2 week before elections. It's hard to say if these kinds of statements will work for or against the Republicnas.
