vice president cheney so i agree with you there but similarly i've got to be consistent john kerry but i mean when you look at it this was in the torture disclosure the torture is fine but giving the name of an operative that's where crosses the line so i think both john kiriakou and vice president cheney should be in jail gini go ahead the question of . the claim is the fact is that armitage was with the state department and one of the reasons why they protected him at that time was because it was viewed that the state department might not have been so happy about the iraq war and there for they sat on his name for a while and i think it did you know eventually you're right that cheney as far as i'm concerned cheney and some of the others. clearly need to be held to account for not only the issues of torture but the taking us into an illegal war. mark you want to but i think i don't have matters agreement on that ok mark go ahead yeah i think it also matters why something is disclosed it should be disclosed to prohibit government misconduct john kerry out to disclose the right informa
