waterboarding is torture but the former Vice President disagreed.

"Waterboarding and all of the other techniques that were used are techniques that we use training our own people. This is stuff that we've done for years with own military personnel. To suggest that it's torture, I just think is wrong."

The former vice president called the Obama's administration's investigation of CIA interrogators that may have abused detainees an "outrage."

"These men, all devoted, capable officials shouldn't have to look over their shoulder and worry if they follow the orders of this president to carry out this interrogation program at some point down the road when there is a change in policy, they can expect to be prosecuted," he said.
