Clinton Takes Shot at Cheney

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton seized on an opportunity Wednesday to take a shot at Dick Cheney in front of a House committee, telling lawmakers that she did not view the former vice president as a "particularly reliable source" on issues of torture.

Clinton offered a sarcastic reply when asked about Cheney's request this week to declassify documents showing the "success" of some widely condemned, harsh interrogation techniques launched by former President Bush after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

"It won't surprise you that I don't consider him a particularly reliable source," Clinton said with laughter before the House Foreign Affairs Committee. - FOX News Story

It concerns me that the Secretary of State would be laughing about such a serious thing. Regardless of what this Administration would like to believe, there are bad people out there that want a shot at the USA. For them not to take it seriously is very concerning.
