Liz Cheney: Despicable Obama slanders patriots when he admits to post-9/11 torture

Speaking with guest-host Monica Crowley on the Foxs Hannity, Liz Cheney, daughter of the former Vice President Dick Cheney, called President Barack Obama a disgrace and despicable for admitting that America tortured detainees following the attack on 9/11.
In a segment boldly titled, Enhanced interrogation, Crowley asked the former Wyoming U.S. Senate candidate about Obamas remarks earlier this week when the president said, We did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks. We did some things that were contrary to our values.
You know Monica, this president is an utter disgrace. Hes got a situation where, as your last two reports showed, youve got crises erupting around the world, a fired-up Cheney complained. And he is expending more time, more energy, more passion, more aggressive activity in targeting and going after patriots, heroes. CIA officers and others who kept is safe after 9/11. Hes lying about what they did, hes slandering them, he went to Cairo and did it in 2009.
Cheney added, Today he did it from the podium of the Oval Office. Its a disgrace. Its despicable.
In 2002 the Bush/Cheney administration authorized the use of so-called enhanced interrogation techniques of detainees in the wake of the 9/11 attacks. A U.S. Senate report, due to be released, is purported to conclude that the CIAs use of harsh interrogation techniques following 9/11 attacks was ineffective and yielded no critical intelligence.

So Liz, you fuck with the prez like you and your dad have recently, you can get the phone call telling you your dad's pacemaker stopped working one night while he was in prison for the rest of his miserable life.

She is desperate to protect her War Criminal and Chicken Hawk father. She should be down on her knees thanking THIS president for protecting him and his band of criminals from the fate they so deserve, life in prison and confiscation of all their blood money to pay to the victims of their crimes.
Which is why it never pays to try to appease vicious bullies. They will never be satisfied and will attack you anyhow.
Had Obama gone forward back in 2009 with investigations and prosecutions, nothing would be any different with these morons. They would be railing and whining about 'what a disgrace he is' just as they are now doing.
There is an old European saying that goes something like this: 'You may as well be hung for a sheep as a lamb'.
They hate him, their hatred would have been no more intense had he done what was necessary. What would be different is they would be very busy trying to defend themselves and wouldn't have so much time to attack the person who more than anyone else, is protecting them from prosecution.
