ABC TRANSCRIPT: Cheney's Confession-On Torture-"I Supported It"

Cheney was also asked whether he authorized the tactics used against Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.

"I was aware of the program, certainly, and involved in helping get the process cleared, as the agency in effect came in and wanted to know what they could and couldn't do," Cheney said. "And they talked to me, as well as others, to explain what they wanted to do. And I supported it."

KARL: And on KSM, one of those tactics, of course, widely reported was water boarding. And that seems to be a tactic we no longer use. Even that you think was appropriate?

CHENEY: I do.

4. Cheney does not consider waterboarding as torture
In fact in the interview he characterized it as an effective technic and not torture.
