Dick Cheney is requesting that the information gathered from these techniques be released as well. He's absolutely correct. If an independent source can verify that x number of terrorists were caught, or x number of plots were foiled, that would be fine with me. No need to know the details, just the effectiveness.

And if there's dirt, and it has Democratic fingerprints, let their hands be scanned as well.

Two interesting tidbits so far. Pelosi swears she was not told about the "Enhanced" techniques, and AG Eric Holder states that he has no documents that speak of any success from the interrogations. Doesn't mean they don't exist, just that they are not at Justice.
