Eric Haney, the former command sergeant major of Delta Force, and a key advisor to CBS’s program “The

Unit” gives an interview to the LA Daily News and puts it straight.

“Q: What do you make of the torture debate? Cheney …

A: (Interrupting) That’s Cheney’s pursuit. The only reason anyone tortures is because they like to do

it. It’s about vengeance, it’s about revenge, or it’s about cover-up. You don’t gain intelligence

that way. Everyone in the world knows that. It’s worse than small-minded, and look what it does.

I’ve argued this on Bill O’Reilly and other Fox News shows. I ask, who would you want to pay to be a

torturer? Do you want someone that the American public pays to torture? He’s an employee of yours. It

’s worse than ridiculous. It’s criminal; it’s utterly criminal. This administration has been masters

of diverting attention away from real issues and debating the silly. Debating what constitutes torture:

Mistreatment of helpless people in your power is torture, period. And (I’m saying this as) a man who

has been involved in the most pointed of our activities. I know it, and all of my mates know it. You

don’t do it. It’s an act of cowardice. I hear apologists for torture say, “Well, they do it to us.”

Which is a ludicrous argument. … The Saddam Husseins of the world are not our teachers. Christ

almighty, we wrote a Constitution saying what’s legal and what we believed in. Now we’re going to

throw it away.”
