WASHINGTON (AP) - Former Vice President Dick Cheney says he believes the
U.S. has become more vulnerable to a potential terrorist attack since the
Obama administration took power.
Cheney cites interrogation and surveillance policies put in place after the
Sept. 11 attacks. He says those policies kept the U.S. safe, but the Obama
administration is now critical of them - and raising the possibility of
prosecuting government lawyers who signed off on some policies.
Cheney says that means that in the future, the U.S. will not have the same
safeguards it's had for the past eight years.
He says getting rid of certain harsh interrogation techniques or a terrorist
surveillance program reduces the flow of good intelligence.
He spoke Sunday on CBS' "Face the Nation."

Former Vice President Dick Cheney on Sunday continued his verbal attack
against President Obama, saying that the country is more vulnerable to a
potential terrorist attack since the Obama administration took power.
Mr. Cheney said that administration's dismantling of many of the policies
and protections instituted by President George W. Bush after the September
11, 2001 terrorist attacks - including the planned closing of the Guantanamo
Bay detention camp in Cuba and halting controversial prisoner interrogation
techniques - have made the country more vulnerable to future attacks.
"That's my belief," Mr. Cheney said on CBS' "Face the Nation." "I think to
the extent that those [Bush-era] policies were responsible for saving lives,
that the administration is now trying to cancel those policies . means in
the future we're not going to have the same safeguards we've had for the
last eight years."
The former vice president defended controversial interrogation techniques
such as waterboarding, saying that it had been an effective tool in
extracting useful information from suspected terrorists such as Khalid
Shaikh Mohammed, who is accused of helping carry out the Sept. 11 terrorist
attacks Washington and New York.
"He did not cooperate fully in terms of interrogations until after
waterboarding," Mr. Cheney said. "Once we went through that process, he
produced vast quantities of invaluable information about al Qaida."
Mr. Obama in January banned the practice on prisoners by U.S. interrogators.
Mr. Cheney said he believes it's his duty to speak out against the Obama
administration "because I think the issues that are at stake here are so
important."
Mr. Cheney also took a shot at former Bush administration Secretary of State
Colin Powell, saying that the conservative broadcaster Rush Limbaugh is a
more loyal Republican than the former Army commander.
"If I had to choose in terms of being a Republican, I'd go with Rush
Limbaugh," Mr. Cheney said.
Mr. Powell recently said that Republicans need to more move to the center
politically and that Mr. Limbaugh's polarizing far-right rhetoric hurts the
party's image.
Mr. Limbaugh retaliated by accusing Mr. Powell of being "just another
liberal" and that he should become a Democrat.
"I think my take on it was Colin had already left the party," Mr. Cheney
said. "I didn't know he was still a Republican."
