Like we could not figure this out on our own.
Of course he is scared. He lied to the America people, more then once, came up with the torturing of detainees, and probably bullied GWB to go along with whatever he said.
Crimes against humanity, war crimes and treason would all be good places to start.

Deadeye is doing what he did 40 years ago. He’s trying to skip out on being a ‘man’ and passing the buck to his daughter. That’s why he got those deferments, so he could let someone else fight the war for him. I’m curious why lizzie cannot see that.

To have fear of something, like being prosecuted, is tantamount to saying you’re fearful because you indeed are guilty of what is being said, not because you think that you are going to be wrongfully prosecuted~at least not in this case with the Cheneys. This is a good definition of the guilt complex! Cheney is trying to taint the jury pool, so to speak, and Liz is trying to act like his lawyer~

“I’m convinced, absolutely convinced, that we saved thousands, perhaps hundreds of thousands, of lives,” Liz Cheney said.
Really? Well, isn’t that nice you’re convinced. But where’s the proof? Or is that so secret you can’t tell us, Liz? Or are we just supposed to just trust your father, as you do. That makes you a nice daughter but a dubious witness.
So far, your father’s “War on Terror” has been nothing much more than a war on an innocent country. For oil, using “terrorism” as an excuse. You know that. And you should also know that your father made a lot of money on this war. Or don’t you know that?
Your father was a person who knowingly lied to the American public and he should pay the consequences.

Sadly it appears that fear of prosecution is unfounded.
President Obama’s decisions regarding NSA surveillance, keeping open Bagram, restarting the military tribunals, and most of all continuing to lock up people without trial for indefinite periods show how much we can believe in ‘change’.
I had high hopes for this President.
Watching him stand in front of the Constitution that he swore to uphold while pledging to continue “preventative detention” was creepily Orwellian.
That the media (with the exception of Rachel Maddow), allowed this to pass unremarked was equally disheartening.
It seems that after all, he is just another politician.
I don’t think that Dick has anything to worry about from this administration.

listening to him after the Obama speech i noticed the first thing he did was take a swipe atthe current cheif executive….then he started sounding like those guys on the video monitors when the detectives are about to put them away for along time….just didnt soundlike he stillbelieved the views he was spouting…..next stop The Hague?

DUH– Did anyone ever believe this was more than a 3 ring circus appealing to potential jurors to try to get her sick-twisted criminal daddy exonerated of crimes against humanity? She no more believes the crap she is saying everyday than Barack Obama is the first Mexican-Irish President. This is all political theater designed to let Cheney get away with the murder of over 250,000 Iraqis and over 4500 American citizens. We found the WMD’s but we don’t have the intestinal fortitude to pursue them. He, Bush and Rumsfeld are the real weapons of mass destruction.

covered_10 says: ….plant the seed of reasonable doubt in the minds a potential jury.

I believe they call that “peeing in the jury pool.” And it’s just the kind of creepy activity Vice Vader enjoys. He has no morals or scruples………and this is the man the MSM plasters all over the TV…..I do believe they are in the tank for him…..is he giving them shares of Halliburton stock?

Perhaps we can get the Montana town who wants to house Gitmo prisoners a different gig, housing Bush administration war crims, for the International tribunal.

Win/Win.

I don’t think Liz defends her father for partisan reasons, so much as familial angst. How do you tell your children that Gramps can’t leave the country, for fear of arrest as a war criminal? Gotta be the toughest moment in a young mother’s life, besides giving birth.

I’m guessin’ Orange isn’t Vice’s color………as in-in front of a judge at the Hauge? This whole sturm und drang is just a smokescreen to try to obfuscate the fact that Cheney is GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY GUILTY of war crimes, along with his little buddy Dubya. And the Rumster. They can whine and scream all they want, and may get away with it, but the American people and the world know that they are WAR CRIMINALS AND WAR PROFITEERS and history will note that, Georgie, no matter what lies you write in your book and put in your presidential museum.

Why can’t we round up and fly the entire Cheney klan to The Hague just like GW Botch flew his Saudi Arabian OIL buddies out of this country right after 9/11????

Of course he is expecting legal action. What the new administration does in regards to its policies and practices is none of the previous admin’s damn business. Just the sheer number of times he and Liz have been on TV just shows how scared they are.

They’ll criticize the Obama administration until they are blue in the face, but watch them scream like little girlie girls if anyone dares be critical of Bush.

One of the reason’s Dumbya diverted his attention away from the perpetrators in Afghanistan and sent our soldiers into Iraq was because “he tried to kill my dad!”
I believe Liz Cheney would say or do anything to protect her father, whether he is a convicted war criminal or just a war criminal.
If the bank manager writes a “memo” stating that stealing money out of the vault is not really stealing; is that still a crime?
“Hey, what’s with the ‘cuffs? Somebody declassify that “memo” I made up that absolves me of any wrong-doing!”
“My lawyer, who was in on it, said that it wasn’t illegal!?!?”
IMHO, if AG Eric Holder doesn’t go after these criminals for there criminal behavior, then he should be considered a liar for telling Congress that “No one is above the Law.”
Maybe Sen. Patrick Leahy should “remind” the AG about whoat he said, and ask him if he is familiar with the term “contempt of Congress.”

He is absolutely diverting public attention away from the nasty fact that he made BILLIONS for his company, Halliburton. The real reason we invaded Iraq!

Blood money!

Blood money!!!

The Facist War Criminals Chenney should be facing an execution death squad for War Crimes! Millions of inocent people were killed or tortured under his criminal regime.

…’Dear warden,
I’m just here to get my daddy out of jail’

He’s either defending himself against prosecution, or he’s making a run for the Presidency. What a great counrty!

StratRat Says:
Besides keeping her dad out of prison, what exactly are Liz Cheney’s credentials?

How about the cred of the root of the problem? Where’s the track record of good judgement? Where does his expertise in the effectiveness of torture come from?
‘No other 9/11′ = ‘interogation expert’?

All his defense is similiar to all the other things he’s been wrong about. Take ‘insurgency in its last throes’ as one example. More often than not, to me, he always come out looking like he doesn’t know what he’s talking about.

It’s funny, I bet there’s a way he’d admit to being wrong about everything going back to Nixon and probably being the real mastermind behind 9/11, and it would only take a few seconds.

Hey Lizzy baby, tell your Daddy (the guy who shoots people in the face and ordered people tortured) that any argument for torture to prevent terrorist attacks is nothing but poppycock and pure unalderated bullshit.

Any police officer or detective or special agent with any experience at all in the art of interviewing and interrogating suspects will tell you the following regarding torture: it is illegal; it is ineffective; it would produce false confessions; and it is contrary to the ideals and principals upon which our country and Constitution was founded. Quite frankly, it is repulsive and disgusting, and stands against everything that this country has fought and bled for.
