An article posted on the CNN website today revealed that previously secret memoranda publicly released today, which had been obtained by the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) through Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) requests, showed that the US Department of Justice worked hand in hand with the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) to justify methods of interrogation that were historically recognized as torture.

The judge presiding over a military tribunal at Guantanamo against a man allegedly a driver of Osama Bin Laden, threw out statements which had been made by the defendant under "highly coercive" conditions.  The judge also decided at the trial that he will not allow evidence gathered under such circumstances unless those who gathered such evidence were present for cunter interrogation.

On the same day that God the Father (Dick Cheney) was on the Hill lobbying for torture, God the Son (George Bush) was telling conservative journalists that he "senses a "Third Awakening" of religious devotion in the United States that has coincided with the nation's struggle with international terrorists, a war that he depicted as "a confrontation between good and evil." (Bush Tells Group He Sees a 'Third Awakening' - Washington Post). I guess the problem with this particular Trinity is the lack of a Holy Spirit (source of wisdom).
