From the first Morning Jolt of the week:

Cheney: Why Are We Still Investigating CIA Interrogators?
While I’m on board with Cheney’s complaint, doesn’t it seem like the extremely slow-moving investigation of CIA interrogation techniques is an Obama administration puppet show to amuse and please its far-left base? For starters, we’re nearly two-and-a-half years into this administration, without much of a peep out of this investigation. The evidence for a prosecution may not be there anymore, or any prosecutor may feel iffy about their chances before a grand jury. I realize that for an indictment a grand jury doesn’t need to be unanimous, but I believe you need 12 out of a pool of 16 to 23 to bring charges, and how many Americans would look at the evidence of water-boarding or other hard interrogation techniques and shrug and say, “Yeah, but it’s Khalid Sheik Mohammad, the mastermind of 9/11. He had it coming!”
Fox News: “Former Vice President Dick Cheney said Sunday it’s an “outrage” the Obama administration continues to investigate CIA agents who interrogated terror suspects, claiming they did nothing wrong and expressing concern about the precedent it sets. Cheney weighed in on the probe after several Republicans and other ex-officials have renewed their call for the Justice Department to drop the investigation — launched nearly two years ago by Attorney General Eric Holder — in light of the killing of Usama bin Laden. Though it’s unclear what role so-called enhanced interrogation played in finding bin Laden, Cheney told “Fox News Sunday” the techniques probably “contributed” and suggested the circumstances make the Justice probe all the more unsettling. ”It’s unfortunate,” Cheney said. “These men deserve to be decorated. They don’t deserve to be prosecuted.” Cheney noted there was a “complete investigation” during the Bush administration that concluded the agents had not violated the law. He said the decision by Holder to reopen that case and hand it over to a special prosecutor sets a “terrible precedent.”
The Lonely Conservative notes, “Everything the government has been doing lately should send a chill through every American. Oh, and remember when they prosecuted Navy SEALS for “abusing” terrorists? The case fell apart, they were just trying to make examples of them. Now they bask in the glory brought to them by the Navy SEALS. Chris Wallace also interviewed National Security Adviser Tom Donilon and asked him why it was okay to shoot Osama bin Laden in the face when he was unarmed, but it’s wasn’t okay to waterboard Kaleid Sheik Mohammad. He didn’t have a very good answer, but stood by the assertion. He said we were at war with bin Laden, Wallace pressed him, pointing out that we’re also at war with KSM. Like a stubborn child confronted with the truth and logic, he still refused to budge.”
Don Surber: “Let’s ask Laden if he prefers a bullet in the head to water boarding.”
Reminds me of Leno’s joke from last week: “Bin Laden was buried at sea. Or as Dick Cheney calls it, “the ultimate waterboarding!”
