Liz Cheney saying waterboarding is not torture

In 2006 they denied waterboarding, now they are justifying it. :crazy:

Little by little, they think no one will notice.

as they await trial and execution.

...the road apple does not fall far from the tree.

She comes by lying and bullshit genetically IMO. :puke:

...she started life as Daddy's excuse...and she is STILL Daddy's excuse!

:puke:

...if ya call torture something else, then it is NOT torture. Guess Darth Vader's daughter did get that memo.

He missed the memo too...check out the vids if you haven't in the political video section.

They are arguing the point. Interesting that Nora is not agreeing and standing firm - so far.

...that Nora would stand up to a Cheney...and not kiss RW ass.

I loved her tough questions vs the puke senator yesturday. (forgot name)

It surprised me but then I don't watch her channel that much...

She did a good job and didn't let the spawn of cheney push her around.

the torture that was applied. She needs to have reality handed to her. Disgusting.

should try be water boarded and then tell us what she thinks...

Seriously.

First Dickhead Cheney is still pretending he's anything other than a private citizen. Now his family is pimping his case. Screw that.

This is a woman attempting to save her daddy's ass. Nothing more.

"listen to yourself Liz"!

qualifications for speaking on this subject? Just wondering...............

I'm not saying she is qualified one way or the other.

Prior to attending law school, Cheney worked for the State Department for five years and the U.S. Agency for International Development between 1989 and 1993. After 1993, she took a job at Armitage Associates LLP, the consulting firm founded by Richard Armitage, then a former Defense Department official and Iran-Contra operative who later served as Deputy Secretary of State.

After graduating from law school, Cheney practiced law in the private sector (at the law firm of White & Case) and as an international law attorney and consultant at the International Finance Corporation, a member of the World Bank Group. She has also served as Special Assistant to the Deputy Secretary of State for Assistance to the former Soviet Union, and as a USAID officer in U.S. embassies in Budapest and Warsaw.<2>

Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs

In 2002, Cheney was appointed to the influential<3> position of Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs, a pre-existing vacant post with an "economic portfolio," which is a mandate to promote investment in the region. Amid reports, including a New York Times editorial by Paul Krugman,saying that the job was created especially for her, State Department spokesman Richard Boucher said that she had come recommended by Colin Powell.<4><5> The Times of London reported that Cheney's appointment was "the most intriguing sign that America is getting serious about Middle East reform" and that the appointment was "a measure of the seriousness with which the administration was taking Middle East programmes for literacy, education, and reform."<6> The appointment followed publicized policy divisions between the Vice President's office and the State Department on Middle East policy. In that position, she was given control of the Middle East Partnership Initiative, designed to "foster increased democracy and economic progress in a troubled region." The program spent $29 million in 2002, increased to $129 million in the following year. Cheney's task was to channel money to pre-screened groups, some of which were not identified publicly for fear of retaliations from extant governments they sought to undermine. For the budget year 2004, the project sought $145 million.

you are so kind.

You probaly didn't care. I didn't either.

Cheney herself.

The bottom line is she has been the beneficiary of nepotism her entire professional career.

is all I can figure

say anything to protect the evil dick.

You mean Miss Lesbian/porno writer thinks waterboarding is NOT torture? Not that there is a thing wrong with being a lesbian. There is a lot wrong with being Liz Cheney.

Mary's the lesbian. Lynn writes lesbian porno, such as her "Sisters" novel.

let's try it on the c*nt then. Only we'll use stagnant piss.

Navy SEALS and other people can quit and go home whenever they want to, they choose to put themselves thru that torture. Its a difference. This woman is scary. My god, Dick sure can make them.

A Navy spokesman admitted use of the ‘water board’ torture . . . to ‘convince each trainee that he won’t be able to physically resist what an enemy would do to him.’ ”

I think she did pretty well, but the facts Liz Cheenee is spewing are so easily rebutted, she must get thrown to the mat on this one.

The fact that the ex-VP's daughter is out trying to defend her father's actions is a sad, sad state of affairs for the GOP.

I didn't think Liz was prepared for that one.

expect - they being our enemies.

Previously our enemies thought we were a civilized country that adhered to Geneva conventions and renounced torture. Bush &Co pulled a fast one and said "Surprise! We're not civilized, no Geneva conventions and we do torture"

We will simply be going back to the time that yes, people knew to expect humane treatment, just as we would expect it for our POWs.

wanting to hear.

Slimey and rotten to the core.

Point out that we did consider it torture when other countries did it in the past and that people were tried and executed after WW II for practicing it on captives.

I'd love to hear the spin to justify why it was wrong for others to do it but that we should get a pass when we subject people to it.

yes isn't that loverly?

:crazy:

Has Jenna Bush made a statement yet?

3, 4 or 5?

They didn't water board me or anybody in my class, so Lizzy can't use that argument that they are doing the same thing to prisoners?

Navy didn't use it since the 70's.

:grr:

SHUT THE FUCK UP YOU GODDAMN CRIMINAL FUCKING MORON

They keep going back to the "terrorist" will learn to adjust to torture. Even people who know what to expect can't take it but only for a few seconds. Since she worked for Condi perhaps she will be in the same cell block with her. She seems to know what the memo's said so she should be on the stand. That's it Liz, just keep flapping the jaw. Yes the ends justify the means. Bullshit!

Has she seen them? Would she have the security clearance to see them? Is Daddy telling her classified info?

been allowed on the air with her, but that like her father, Liz Cheenee will NEVER appear with someone who can rebut her points.

He says, "You get the sense that there is something very strange in the water at the Cheney home."

GO LAWRENCE!!!

He's worth Kabillions after all the theft of the US Treasury through no bid contracts and illegal wars. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree. After hearing her crap and the crap from Kit Bond earlier this is one DU'er who is more fired up than ever. I hope the rest of the progressive left is as upset as I am. We need that energy now more than ever to prosecute these bad guys. We need to do it for America and for the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi's who have died due to Cheney and company's lies.

:mad:

"Liz Cheney says intentionally shooting someone in the head and killing them is not murder" Oh well if Liz Cheney says it.... empty the prisons!

I can't stand these "people."
