About statements that Cheney made

Didn't he make a false statement when he said that he (Cheney) didn't know who sent Wilson to Niger?

72. This was I think in the context of John McCain's amendment against torture

Bush said he would veto. It went something like... Scotty: "We don't support torture." Helen: But you won't condemn it either.

73. but they narrowed the definition of it to include only that which causes
