Now that the memos showing the rulings of interrogation techniques have been released, the Obama administration should release additional documents that show what the interrogations yielded, former Vice President Dick Cheney told FOX News on Monday.
In an interview with FOX News' Sean Hannity to be aired on "Hannity" Monday night, Cheney questioned the point of releasing the legal decisions behind the interrogations but not the outcome of them.
"One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is they put out the legal memos, the memos that the CIA got from the Office of Legal Counsel, but they didn't put out the memos that showed the success of the effort," Cheney said.
Cheney said he's asked that the documents be declassified because he has remained silent on the confidential information, but he knows how successful the interrogation process was and wants the rest of the country to understand.
"I haven't talked about it, but I know specifically of reports that I read, that I saw, that lay out what we learned through the interrogation process and what the consequences were for the country," Cheney said. "I've now formally asked the CIA to take steps to declassify those memos so we can lay them out there and the American people have a chance to see what we obtained and what we learned and how good the intelligence was."
Cheney's interview at his home in McLean, Va., came just hours before President Obama traveled to nearby Langley, Va., to offer CIA employees his "full support" in their mission.

Well we know that Mohammond confussed after being waterboarded 183 times that he killed Abe Lincoln and John F. Kennedy. That puts those unsolved murders to rest. Mohammond is new declared insane. Oh Cheney also wants released that Mohammonds wife and children were kidnapped by the CIA and tortured too. Some detainees were tortured to death but we found out they had nothing to do with al qeada. As for the information we got nothing that we didn't already know. Cheney will be able to speak of his success of Torture when he's charged with War Crimes. They can wheele him in the court and he can tell of how proud he is for Torturing innocent men/woman/children and how the United States law makers and Americans gave their full support. He's right as no one demand that it stop even when it was made public. Some Law Makers suggested that all the detainees just be killed innocent or not.
