it was dick cheney unleashed. it was quite substantive. i think to answer your question, we have to look back at the last time dick cheney weighed in this wholeheartedly on national- security issues. remember we had those dueling speeches by barack obama and dick cheney on the same day? most people that assessed those first round -- that first round of a standoff came away with the feeling that dick cheney had won round one. we will have to see whether he wins round two. by him bringing up these issues, i think it has a lot of people thinking whether the obama administration is continuing to take this nation of its war footing, whether it is by appointing a prosecutor or whether it is by pointing this new interagency task force out of the white house to be in charge of interrogating high- value detainee's. i think people are starting to think that is thinking -- taking us off of the war footing. bill: what he said numerous times is that president obama gave his word that he would not go here or even dare predict what changed in washington

in our fourth story, dick cheney's disappointment with george w. bush's break with him has fueled cheney's willingness to write about it, all about it. new details from one of the informal gatherings the former vice president has been holding to discuss his upcoming memoir. barton gellman will join us in a moment. in the second term, he felt bush was moving away from him. he said bush was shackled by the public criticism he took. the implication was that bush had gone soft on him, or rather, bush had hardened against cheney's advice. it was clear that cheney's doctrine was cast iron strength at all times, never apologize, never explain, and bush moved toward the conciliatory. cheney had not and now his disdain for what he perceived to be weakness in the obama administration's approach to national security may soon be directed at bush. quoting again from the article, cheney himself has said without explanation that the statute of limitations has expired on many of his secrets. when the president made decisions that i didn't agree, i still supported

the headline here, the dick cheney interrogations' probe -- dick cheney says that the interrogations'robe is a political act. here are some comments on his comments. >> dick cheney has shown through the years, and frankly, a disrespect for the constitution, for sharing information with congress, lack of respect for the law, and i'm not surprised he is upset about this. the obama administration -- the president himself has been unbelievably bending in the direction of trying to be careful about what happens to national security, protecting security interest, being very sensitive about the cia's program gives and needs, and i think there's a little bit of tension between the white house itself and the lawyers and the justice department as to their obligation and how they see a law. in a sense that is good and proper. it shows that we have an attorney general who is not pursuing a political agenda, but doing what he believes the law requires. host: a couple more calls here. another caller from texas, on the republican line. caller: i'm not believing what i'm hearing. i cannot believe tha

how vocal do you think dick cheney is going to be in defending karl rove?he must have known what the heck was going on, it was an attack on the judiciary, but it seems to me there will be a lot more come ing fromthese two gentlemen. >> i think that's right. if the vice president talks about this, he'll frame he answers in terms of the office, and the presidency and the release of these e-mails. but those e-mails are juicy. it's becoming a campaign issue. just tonight the new jersey governor, jon corzine is calling on his opponent to answer questions about the rove e-mail. if karl rove is becoming an issue? a bunch of states, that's quite a surprise to administration that we thought was sort of history, but karl has a book coming out, too. they all do, so he doesn't mind being on the griddle a little bit for that reason, too. >>> the president's going to go on the road tomorrow, a town hall meeting in montana, max bachus's backyard. if there was ever a time to call out a colleague and not giving the president what he wants, it would be max backus. what's the

>> i don't believe dick cheney will engage in backstabbing. i do believe this, lawrence, cheney does feel, i think, that the bush administration or the president himself had sort of a lapse of faith in his earlier axis of evil policies, that he put rumsfeld over the side who was dick cheney's mentor and friend in a way that was really reduced rumsfeld to a level that cheney felt was insulting. i think he felt that the president did not move against north korea and iran as toughly as he should have in those final two years, and, of course, you have the scooter libby pardon that did not happen. but i agree with tom that cheney's not going to get personal and small here. i think he's going to defend his record as the most powerful, influential vice president in history. going to say we did the right thing. we should have been stronger at the end, and he's going to establish a separate identity from george w. bush and i think probably he's doing the right thing for himself. >> let's consider this excerpt from "the washington post" story. pat buchan

. >> eric: this is a "fox news alert," a warning this morning from former vice president dick cheney. he says that the prosecution of cia agents over enhanced interrogation of terror suspects is putting or nation's security at risk. in an explosive and exclusive interview with "fox news sunday" host chris wallace, mr. cheney called the investigation, quote, an outrageous political act. and he says he has serious doubts about president obama and his -- in his words, is prepared to do what needs to be done to protect the nation. saying the obama administration should be debriefing cia interrogators about keeping the country safe, not punishing them. >> we asked... sometimes people put their own lives at risk and do so at the direction of the president, they do so with the, in the case we have specific legal authority from the justice department and they are now going to be subject to being investigated an prosecuted by the next administration, nobody is going to sign up with those kinds of missions. it's a very, very devastating up thing it has on the morale inside the intelligence comm

apprehension of almost every al qaeda extremist that we got so -- >> mary, the report -- >> but dick cheneying politics. >> -- is not saying that enhanced interrogation, which others will call torture, resulted in these things. in fact, it's kind of ambiguous on that. all along, cheney has been saying these classified reports are going to show enhanced interrogation techniques saved lives and resulted in terrorist activity being stopped. but in fact, these reports don't show that. >> these are -- reports are -- and subsequent -- or previously declassified report are not ambiguous. they categorically show the success of these interrogations, from khalid shaikh mohammed, to abu zubaydi, that's how we got this intelligence -- >> but cheney today, didn't -- in his statement, doesn't even make that claim anymore. he's now just saying, i quote, the documents released monday clearly demonstrate the individuals subjected to enhanced interrogation techniques provided the bulk of intelligence we gained about al qaeda. he's no longer saying enhanced interrogation lead to this information. >> well, we'

dick cheney's -- former vice president dick cheney's interview.atherine herridge, you were listening along. robert gibbs said that the president -- former vice president did not have his facts right, and he also said that he had not been a great predictor of foreign affairs. >> there were three main headlines to me. first and foremost was the claim by the white house press secretary that the former vice president had his facts wrong on a number of issues. particularly, when it comes to the enhanced integration program carried out by the cia. secondly, he talked about the hank. this is a group that is being set up at the fbi that mildew with the interrogation of high- value detainees in the future. -- the hague. what we know in background is the higg would decide who would be the best agency to interrogate the detainees. the former vice president said that he felt this was taking us back to the same type of posture we had prior to 9/11 that led to such disasters have results. such a significant claim by the vice-president. i also found it interesti

this is dick cheney unplugged.nce he has left the vice presidency and official office that he feels some what liberated. he just feels that it weakens the country and thinks job one after 9/11 for any president that came, protecting the country and that the enhanced interrogation worked and got top cia operatives who weren't going to cooperate to give up information and that information stopped plots that would have killed more people in this country and around the world and he thinks the pontiliousness of the obama administration is going to weaken the country and demoralize the cia. he feels people signed up to for war on terror and we are now turning on people that protected the country for the last eight years styl. >> does he feel this is the president going back. even though the attorney general is supposed to be independent in these kind of investigations. >> he feels that the president and blames it on the president. he says look, under the constitution the president is the chief law enforcement officer. th

catherine herridge reports on the administration's reaction to dick cheney's verbal volley toward the president. >> the white house was critical and highly dismissive of mr. cheney. >> i think the vice president, if he watched some of his interview, was clearly had his facts on a number of things wrong. >> this response, after the former vice president was relentless in his criticism of the obama administration. in an rain ter view with chris wallace on sunday. >> it is a terrible precedent plawvment cheney is referring to the decision by eric holder to investigate and possibly prosecute c.i.a. employees who acted outside of the approved interrogation tactics. >> it's a very, very devastating, i think, effect that it has on morale inside the intelligence community. if they assume that they're going to have to be dealing with the political consequences, and it is clearly a political move. >> a political move, because m cheney says this internal c.i.a. report declassified a week ago was reviewed by career prosecutors under the previous administration and only one case that a c.i.a. cont

that's what former vice president dick cheney says about the obama administration's investigation of the cia. he also says his relationship with president bush wasn't always chummy. >>> late-term takeover. an abortion doctor targeted by protesters is promising to pick up where his murdered colleague left off. he tells us why live. >>> lost at sea. for a week searchers even gave up and the coast guard as well when suddenly a sight for sore eyes. three weary fishermen saved by sheer luck. you'll hear their incredible odyssey tonight. >>> good evening, everyone. i'm don lemon. our top story, thousands of people fleeing their homes ahead of wildfires raging in southern california. especially hard hit los angeles county prompting governor arnold schwarzenegger to declare a state of emergency. for the latest we turn to cnn's kara finnstrom live in la canada flintridge, california. >> reporter: you can see this fire is continuing to burn in the hillsides behind me. we are expecting a news briefing any minute now with the latest numbers from this fire, but at last report more than 35,000 acr

and dick cheney's response was to sort of spin that and they did back him up when in reality they didn't>> and diblg cheney says measuring the effectiveness of these enhanced interrogation techniques is not without concern. he says it's difficult to measure how successful it was because it was combined with traditional interrogation tactics. but let's look at some of what has not been redacted out of this. that some of the threats here that they held handguns to terror suspects, power drills, they threatened to kill suspects families, there was threatened sexual assaults of family members. what do you think at this point should happen? you've got the president who says yes, let's change the way we have conducted our interrogation. but let's not go muckraking through the past. do you need to muckrake? >> i don't think it's about muckraking through the past, it's about upholding the law. the attorney general has suggested a preliminary review as to whether there's enough evidence to launch a full investigation. i think most people who have looked at it agree that there is enough evidence t

and now for the very first time, former vice president dick cheney is speaking out about it. >> i guess the other thing that offends the hell out of me, frankly, chris, is we had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al-qaeda. this approach of the obama administration should be to come to those people who were involved in that policy and say how did you do it? what were the keys to keeping the country stable over that period of time? instead, they're out there now threatening to disbar the lawyers who gave us the legal opinion, threatening contrary to what the president originally said. >> jamie: good morning, everybody. much more on that story. i'm jamie colby. >> eric: i'm eric shawn. the vice president giving that explosive excusive interview aired on "fox news sunday" this morning. he calls the investigation into the c.i.a. purely political and claims president obama, in his words, is not prepared to do what is needed to proect the nation. live in our washington bureau, with the latest. what else did the former vice

how the perspective has changed and it's going to be a fun read. >> what are we learning about dick cheney we're learning that things were not as they appeared. but we had some hints during the second bush term that everything was not rosy between bush and cheney, but things may have deteriorated further than we had imagined. i assume that will be outlined in the book. >> if this is accurate, it sounds like the former vice president is talking to everyone who is listening. but how far is he willing to go? we saw a lot of push from the former vice president earlier in the year. we have not heard a lot from him lately, but is he really willing to go there regarding the former president? >> it is surprising to me that he would go that far. he was chosen by bush. when cheney ran himself in 1996, he did very, very poorly. he was handed this office by george w. bush. i think that will surprise a lot of bush loyalists. but we'll have to see what he says in the book. sometimes, pthey'll leak information like this and the book ends up being disappointing. >> thanks. we keep hearing from a lot of pe

and what former vice president dick cheney is calling an outrage juts move by the obama administration. the decision to investigate the cia interrogation of terrorist suspects. cheney says it's having a devastating impact on morale in the intelligence community. and that could threaten our national security. the former vice president spoke on "fox news sunday" with chris wallace over the weekend. he said the harsh interrogation tactics have prevented attacks and saved lives. dick cheney using some strong language. listen to this. >> i guess the other thing that offends the hell out of me frankly, chris, is we had a track record now of eight years of defending the nation against any further mass casualty attacks from al qaeda. the approach of the obama administration should be to come to those who were involved in that policy and say "how did you do it? what were the keys to keeping this country safe over that period of time?" shepard: well the justice department says whether the tactics worked, it's their job to decide whether they were legal. and the white house is firing back at dick

. >> dick cheney is lashing out at the obama administration again. he says that the new cia talk is outrageous. >> well, for get the idea of a quiet retirement. president obama just returned from vacation and he's facing accusations from dick cheney. >> i think he's trying to duck the responsibility for what's going on here and i think it's wrong. >> reporter: wrong, because he says that the president has allowed eric holder to pursue an investigation into the cia and the interrogations of the suspects since 9/11. and at the same time, the president wants to look forward, not back. >> he's on vacation and his attorney general is going back and doing something that the president says that someone wouldn't do. >> reporter: others dismiss the claims sayg he needs an independant voice in the administration. >> it shows we have an attorney general who is not pursuing the political agenda, but doing what he believe that is the law requires him to do. >> reporter: cheney didn't stop there, hesays that the bush administration is getting criticism, but no cre

and it's making dick cheney's head explode. he put out this statement practically singing the virtues of torture, and putting out the old adage that president obama won't keep us safe. little fear there, huh? you know, i'll hand it to cheney. the guy never gives up at being a jerk. president obama won't keep you safe. americans have doubts. you see, that's the bat call for the cheney-ites for folks who want to defend torture. here is what peter king said about the investigation of the justice department today. king is wondering what side the president the united states is on. he is suggesting the president might be on the side of the terrorists. that could go into psycho talk, but we'll get into that later. the republicans are the ones who are politicizing this, basically to cover themselves. so the obama administration will back off. if the republicans really cared about the cia workers, they would concern themselves with the truth. i know president obama said he wants to look forward and not backward and all that stuff, but i
