Liz Cheney Falsely Claims Her ‘Al Qaeda 7’ Smear Ad ‘Doesn’t Question Anybody’s Loyalty’
Liz Cheney Falsely Claims Her ‘Al Qaeda 7’ Smear Ad ‘Doesn’t Question Anybody’s Loyalty’
As ThinkProgress has noted, Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol’s Keep America Safe organization released a web ad on Monday targeting yet-to-be named Justice Department lawyers who had worked on Guantanamo detainee issues as the “al Qaeda 7.” “Whose values do they share?” asked the ad over an image of seven silhouettes juxtaposed with images of Arabic men. When Politico’s Ben Smith first reported on the attack ad, he noted that it “questions the loyalties of Justice Department lawyers.”
But in an interview today on the Washington Times’ “America’s Morning News” radio show, Cheney denied that the ad questioned “anybody’s loyalty”:
HOLMES: Liz, good morning. So you released a fairly provocative ad, I have to say. And you ask the question “whose values” [does] Eric Holder share? In your view, whose values does he share?
CHENEY: Well, what the ad does — and actually it doesn’t question anybody’s loyalty. What the ad does is it says that there are nine lawyers in the Justice Department who used to represent al Qaeda terrorists and the Attorney General will only tell us who two of them are and we want the American people to have the right to know who the others are.
Guest host Amy Holmes continued to press Cheney on the point, repeating her question. “But your ad does raise the question ‘whose values’ does Eric Holder share. Who would you say?” Cheney dodged the question, stating that she thinks Holder “believes that you can defeat terror, you can win this war we’re engaged in by treating terrorism like law enforcement.” Listen here:
Cheney is simply lying. Not only does the ad suggest that the lawyers might “share” the “values” of al Qaeda, but it also flashes an image of a headline from the far right Investor’s Business Daily asking if the Justice Department was the “Department of Jihad?” “Just whose side are they on?” asked the editorial.
When Politico’s Smith first reported on the ad, Keep America Safe spokesman Michael Goldfarb gave him a quote that essentially accused the lawyers of treason, saying that they “did far more than represent criminals.” “They have propagandized on behalf of our enemies, engaging in a worldwide smear campaign against the CIA, the U.S. military and the United States itself while we are at war,” said Goldfarb. On Tuesday, Keep America Safe released a fundraising letter in Cheney’s name that used the exact same language:
Former Bush administration officials have pushed back against the ad. “While it’s legitimate for the public to inquire about the past work of DOJ political appointees, we need to recognize that our judicial system cannot function without pro bono counsel, and it doesn’t make a lawyer less patriotic just because he or she has represented a criminal or terrorist suspect,” former U.S. attorney and homeland security adviser Kenneth Wainstein told the Washington Post. “It’s beyond a cheap shot to suggest that a lawyer is an al-Qaeda sympathizer because he advocates a detainee’s position in the Supreme Court,” said former Bush White House lawyer Reginald Brown.
For more on Cheney’s smearing of the Justice Department lawyers, read today’s Progress Report.
Harison said that private attorneys advocating for detainees raised a lot of questions because “sometimes you can’t make the distinction” between representation and being “soft on terror.” Harison also said the organization was more concerned that the DOJ lawyers are soft on terror than that they hold sympathetic views about al Qaeda.

I couldn’t give less of a shit what Liz Cheney (or her war criminal father) has to say about homeland security, law, or ethics.
If they want to talk about how they support marriage equality so they can see Mary get married, I’ll listen.
Anything else, they have zero credibility. They are a stain on our national character and should be relegated to the ash heap of history.

March 4th, 2010 at 4:06 pmDear Daughter of Dickhead,
STFU. DD. May you rot in hell lying on top of Dickhead’s body.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:09 pmWell there’s no need to question Liz Cheney’s loyalty. She clearly places the wellfare of her country far far below gaining political advantage. The Constitution is the core enemy with her, chip off the old block that she is.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:11 pmCorrect. They’re lawyers. They’re doing their jobs. Sometimes you have to represent the bad guy, since The Constitution guarantees everyone accused of committing a crime in this country the right to a fair trial.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:12 pmLiz Cheney should just lay off political commentary and see if she can get her day job back. A job which she got because her daddy lined up a desk job for her in the State Department. A job for which she wasn’t qualified. After Bush went back to Texas and Obama took the oval office Liz Cheney and her father started popping up on Sunday morning (usually on Fox…to hide behind those who wouldn’t dare question the Cheney’s. Month after month of the same old empty lines of attack: “Obama insults our nation and the C.I.A. by questioning earlier policies involving torture and Guantanamo Bay.” While the entire civilized world feels differently that the right, as well as a majority of the American people who handed the Republican party it’s ass electorally in the last election, these bitter neo-cons can’t accept the reality that their policies have failed.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:12 pmLiz Cheney is about as relevant as a bread crumb at an all-you-can-eat buffet ………..

There should be a new rule in the MSM. If a pundit or a politician (regardless of what letter is next to their name) is going to act like a jack-ass in the political media and force them to go on the Daily Show. Consider it equality in the political media. :D
When is Liz going to figger out that she isnt credible in many peoples books.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:18 pm~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Papal aide, Vatican men’s choir in gay prostitution ring.
So why does Liz not trust the American Justice System ?
Why does she want to rig the trial so there is no defense ?
And the coy, “I’m not implying that….” For example: Well I know for a fact that someone likes goats but I won’t say who it is. Yeah, right. I’m sure no jury could put the pieces together to convict for libel / slander.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:18 pm*facepalm*
March 4th, 2010 at 4:19 pmWhat does she want? Cowboy-style justice where you “shoot first, ask questions later”? We are a country bound by the rule of law which means that we believe in “innocent until proven guilty”..
The daughter of the most lawless , dishonest , secretive and despicable VP in US history is questioning the loyalty and values of Justice Department lawyers ?
Are you fu(king kidding me ? Gimme’ a break …….
March 4th, 2010 at 4:19 pmEnnuiDivine (a registered trademark of Molten Boron. Nobody Does It Like Molten Boron!) says: Anything else, they have zero credibility.
Sadly, you are wrong, Ennui.
Liz Cheney earns a good living from saying such things, and others do the same. They are all paid by corporations who have a stake in undermining Democratic and democratic government, and there are enough ignorant and similarly twisted people who do actually find them credible and who collectively can affect elections and plocies.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:20 pmAnd she lies so easily.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:20 pmLiz and her father Darth Cheney have no credibility anymore, and I think Liz is starting to realize that. She goes on talk shows and lies through her teeth and gets busted for it every time. I think this is more of her trying to protect dear old Dad then to actually trying to prove any inane argument. Is she scared perhaps with all the talk questioning of all of Bush and Cheney’s aids in Europe?

I hope Fox films it.
The ad is merely one of many that will come out between now and November trying say the Dems are soft on terrorism. This is going to be an election theme. Dems need to show that Obama has captured and killed more terrorists than the Bush administration, in the US, Afghanistan and Pakistan. The MSM should challenge these claims when any Republican asserts the contrary. The content of the ad is just a fund raising device for money which is going to be steered to Republicans up for reelection.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:24 pmLiz Cheney actively supports and defends a confessed war criminal.
I think we all know where her loyalties lie.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:24 pmOne thing this neo-McCarthyism does is spotlight those who have so little faith or understanding in the Constitution.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:24 pmBut we know they won’t.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:25 pmImprecatory prayers are appropriate for Dickhead and his hateful, stupid daughter.

March 4th, 2010 at 4:25 pmI have to believe that the Evil Concubine of Dick / Mother of Liz, Lynne Cheney, is behind a lot of this. Years ago, she wrote clearly lesbian fiction (to be clear: not that’s there anything wrong with that) yet continues to deny any homosexual plot. She is the definition of Whack Job.

Liz honey, we already had “cowboy-style” justice a few years ago, when Bush was in charge, and it only increased the amount of terrorist activity here in the U.S. The terrorists used our “brutality” as a recruiting tool…
March 4th, 2010 at 4:30 pmEver since Dick has been released from the hospital, he has been silent. I, like many other Americans, asked myself ‘What if my loved one had FIVE heart attacks? Would they still be alive?’ Dick gets the best medical care OUR money can buy for him. We minions? We would have been long gone.
March 4th, 2010 at 4:30 pmSo I wonder if liz was dicks favor daughter to molest, and if she enjoyed it enough to now be helping her criminal father?
not say that dick or lynn did not also like f-ing with Mary either.

A criminal defendant’s right to an attorney is found in the Sixth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, which requires the “assistance of counsel” for the accused “in all criminal prosecutions.” This means that a defendant has a constitutional right to be represented by an attorney during trial.

At the same time the VP was dealing with that, my project which was 3 times the size in terms of revenue, had one issue that went up to the level of my boss (and I had it resolved before my boss heard of the problem).
Their justification was that my counterpart pulled the project out of the fire and they went live on the project (just barely and with significant problems). I kept asking why the project was in the fire to begin with, but they refused to acknowledge the fact that my counterpart was a total screw up.
My counterpart got a monetary merit award, and I got the privilege of applauding from the audience.

Wow. What a bunch of a**holes. Amazing the f**k ups with shitty attitudes and corrupt morals (like in politics and in business) always get more praise than those who actually are good at their job and take pride in it.
BTW, I wish you and your business the best of luck in the future. :D

Thanks, and if you ever are in need of a really good IT Project Manager, or know someone who is, let me know! ;)

Thank you for the offer. :) And I’ll ask around for you…if they’re interested, I’ll tell them to sign up to TP and look for your SN.
I’m pretty good where I am. The only thing missing is a health-insurance company that will both accept me because of my epilepsy and actually cover. I’ve talked to fellow WashTech union members and I’m both worried and tempted to take UShealth (my current plan) or one of my past plans like Blue Cross to court to settle things. I’m worried because I don’t know how much that would cost, how long it would take or even if anything positive would come out of it.
We need a public option now!

In other words, you liberals should just fear us. We don’t have anything to offer in terms of quality governance, we just want you to fear us. Fear the November, nevermore.

Well I have two things to think about:
1) I can’t afford the shit-loads of legal fees that would come my way while fighting for health insurance that will both cover me and my family for an affordable price.
2) My labor union isn’t really small (they have an office building in Seattle) but sometimes it seems that they are really too tied in the political rhetoric that they are to helping the people. They’re inept basically. I might check-out my local worker union center here in Renton, I’ve heard some good news from them when it comes to legal battles.
And I would love to have that kind of health-care coverage rather than relying on just using the “family check-ups and MRI’s while worrying about something being terribly wrong with either me or my wife” plan. While praying that those things don’t cost a shit load of money because UShealth covers pretty much jack shit except UShealth’s financial interests. But I’m kinda f***ed as long as the Republican’s still insist on being such dicks and the Democrats decide to drop to their knees in submission of those dicks.

March 4th, 2010 at 6:55 pmLiz Cheney is a traitorous b!tch, and just the sight of her makes me want to throw something — same as her father.
Disgusting people.
March 4th, 2010 at 7:13 pmLiz Cheney is engaged in a witch hunt, plain and simple. Dealing with “associations” is exactly what Joseph McCarthy used to smear innocent people. This is sick.

Amazingly lame for an American (we assume) …
March 5th, 2010 at 1:05 amAs a veteran (unlike your father) Liz, I believe this accusation and constant opposition of a President during war time. You are not hardly loyal let alone patriotic.
So how does it feel to have your patriotism questioned?
So Liz prove you love America?
Certainly you haven’t had any solid ground to stand in your accusations of the President. The image Liz Cheney suggests of herself is that somehow she earned through qualifications her position in the Bush Adm she had was not nepotism because of her 5 deferment father.
March 5th, 2010 at 3:27 am“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger.”

March 7th, 2010 at 4:34 pmOf course, when conservatives talk about rights, they mean “white-guy rights.”
Republicans and their ilk love to prattle on about rights. But it’s only the rights that are important to white males–mostly the right to badmouth people and the “right” to brandish guns.
In winger utopia, white-guy aşk şiirleri rights will be inviolable. But there will be no privacy, especially in sexual matters. Gays will be çiçek constantly watched; women will be forced to have babies; and people will be allowed to criticize only Democrat Presidents.
