Cheney requested all of two CIA documents, a total of 21 pages.

You can look at Cheney’s request form right here. They open the window a bit on the scope and direction of his request, which he has claimed will prove that
Bush’s torture program yielded worthwhile intelligence.
Cheney requested two CIA reports, both of them from the “detainees” folder, which suggests that the docs detail the interrogation of suspects.
One is dated July 13th, 2004, and numbers eight pages.
The other is dated June 1st, 2005, and numbers 13 pages.
The CIA has redacted the detailed description of the documents because they’re classified. In total, Cheney requested all of 21 pages to support his claim that torture worked.
We still don’t know if we’ll ever get to see these docs, but this is a start. More soon.
Update: David Kurtz notes a key detail about this form: It’s a request for forms from Cheney’s office, which are marked “detainees.” As Kurtz says, that appears to mean that Cheney kept a file marked “detainees.”
Update II: Looks like Cheney may be after a doc that supposedly details what top Al Qaeda official Khalid Muhammad revealed under torture.

If anyone recalls the many visits Dick made to the CIA you might remember Dick has alot of stuff recycled information from the Clinton years. As was noted none of the information given was ever proven fact. Now we did learn from the detainee who was waterboarded 183 times that he killed Abe Lincoln and John Kennedy that we didn't know before. I don't think they will release the pictures of the kids that were tortured that might be to much for Americans to deal with. Right now most are in denial and are saying torture isn't really torture. To made Judge Bybee wasn't around when the US sentenced and hung some Japanese soldiers for waterboarding US POWs as the US then called waterboarding Torture. Now it's well really noting more then swimming with a little help.
