Clinton on Cheney: ‘It won’t surprise you that I don’t consider him a particularly reliable source.’

In testimony today before the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton told Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) that she did not view former Vice President Cheney as a "particularly reliable source" on matters related to detainee torture and mistreatment. Rohrabacher had asked Clinton whether she supported the release of documents that Cheney recently claimed documented the "successes" that came out of the Bush administration's torture program:
ROHRABACHER: This goes to the heart of as far as I can see of whether or not we can expect to have transparency and openness in this administration? Or are you going to just refuse to answer the question? ... What will be your recommendation?
CLINTON: I am not going to share that with you because I don't know any facts that support what you're describing. LinkHere

Rohrabacher defends Dick Cheney

Rep. Dana Rohrabacher (R-CA) appeared on Fox New's Your World with Neil Cavuto to discuss his exchange earlier today with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, in which Clinton took a shot at Dick Cheney's credibility. Cavuto lauded Rohrabacher as being a "pretty gutsy guy" for defending Cheney "in a packed room that everyone made a laughing stock of the [former] Vice President." Cavuto then asked Rohrabacher why other Republicans aren't sticking up for Cheney:
CAVUTO: [S]ome Republicans have been oddly silent in defending him or not. You took the fight on. Do you think that the vice president has been misrepresented here?
ROHRABACHER: I think that there's a lot of people in this town that don't have any courage, when someone is being belittled and they're under attack, to stand up and say, 'wait a minute, this person did some very good things.' LinkHere
