It was one of Cheney's euphemisms. It's someone else's too:
Mostafa Tajzadeh, Abdollah Ramezanzadeh and Mohsen Aminzadeh, all
Mousavi supporters, are reported to have undergone "intensive
interrogation" sessions in Tehran's notorious Evin prison since being
arrested in a mass round-up of opposition figures following Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad's disputed re-election.
If you do not believe what Iranian dissidents are saying in publicly televised confessions, you should not believe a word of the "intelligence" that Cheney tortured out of his array of terror suspects.
