US Rep. Capuano: Cheney Should Face Prosecution BOSTON (AP) -- U.S.
Rep. Michael Capuano is suggesting former Republican Vice President
Dick Cheney face prosecution for allowing the waterboarding of terror
suspects.

Capuano (cap-yoo-AH'-noh) said Monday it appears that the orders to
subject al-Qaida terror suspects to waterboarding could be traced to
Cheney's office. If that's the case, Capuano said Cheney should be
prosecuted. He said those carrying out the orders shouldn't be
scapegoated for obeying executive instructions.

Capuano made the comments during a forum among the Democratic
candidates for the late Edward Kennedy's seat on WGBH's Greater
Boston.

Capuano is vying for the Democratic nomination with City Year co-
founder Alan Khazei (KAY'-zee), Attorney General Martha Coakley and
Boston Celtics co-owner Stephen Pagliuca (pah-lee-OOH'-kah).
