Former US Vice-President Dick Cheney has urged the CIA to release memos which he says show harsh interrogation techniques such as water-boarding work.
His comments follow the publication of memos written by Bush administration lawyers which justified the techniques.
Mr Cheney said that the decision to publish the memos was a mistake.
And it was misleading, he said, because the documents did not include those demonstrating that harsh interrogation delivered intelligence "success".
"One of the things that I find a little bit disturbing about this recent disclosure is that they put out the legal memos... but they didn't put out the memos that show the success of the effort," Mr Cheney told Fox News.
"There are reports that show specifically what we gained as a result of this activity. They have not been declassified. I formally ask that they be declassified now."
The American people should have a chance to weigh the intelligence obtained alongside the legal debate, he said.

Nice Dick...real nice...
Let's play pretend again shall we?
Could we make your daughter admit she is really straight instead of homosexual by some simple water boarding techniques you condone?
I bet we could.
Probably would make you look like less of a hypocrite for being anti-gay and pro-torture if you killed two birds with one stone by torturing your own blood into being straight like God intended.
Lets face it, there was a reason these documents and memos were classified to begin with...it's anti-American to torture and you were afraid of what Americans...real Americans, would think of your policies should they have seen the light of day while you were in office.
Forget prosecuting the CIA for these crimes...prosecute Cheney and Bush...they signed off on it.
