Liz Cheney Reveals That Fear Of Prosecution Motivates Dad’s Media Blitz Defending Torture

Liz Cheney Reveals That Fear Of Prosecution Motivates Dad’s Media Blitz Defending Torture

<...>

Last night on CNN, however, Cheney’s daughter Liz revealed that fear of prosecution is indeed a motivating factor in the former vice president’s current media campaign:

L. CHENEY: I don’t think he planned to be doing this, you know, when they left office in January. But I think, as it became clear that President Obama was not only going to be stopping some of these policies, that he was going to be doing things like releasing the — the techniques themselves, so that the terrorists could now train to them, that he was suggesting that perhaps we would even be prosecuting former members of the Bush administration.

<...>

Does Liz Cheney also fear that her dad will be prosecuted for his role in the Bush administration’s torture program? Perhaps so. As Steve Benen has noted, “Liz Cheney has been all over the television news” as well, with “12 appearances, in nine and a half days, spanning four networks.”

5. Actually, the Cheneys' torture tour failed. Liz is now trying a new tactic:
go for sympathy with a twist of BS patriotism.
