Cheney Hedges?

Greg Sargent spots a careful parsing in Cheney's latest flim-flam on his embrace of torture:

My bet is Cheney is planning to cite the valuable intel in the docs and say that the program of which torture was only a part was responsible for producing it. He’ll fudge the question of whether the torture itself was actually responsible for generating that information. Cheney is as experienced as any Washington hand at using precise language to obfsucate, and this is the game plan. You heard it here first.
