Have We Had Enough of the Cheney's.............

What I do not like is that every time the "Cheney's" do something radical, the media exploits them which, gives them, pardon this expression, balls to go out and say more. Learn to ignore them and they will eventually die out. I love that President Obama does not answer the call to engage them. He ignores them in media and print, sometimes I think it infuriates the "Cheney's".  Of course we have not heard from Mr Cheney because he is recovering from a small heart attack, I just didn't think he had one to begin with.
They make it sound like they are the only patriotic couple left in the USA. 
Our system of justice is the best in the land, we afford citizens, and non citizens the right to a trial by their peers. If they can not afford or get a lawyer, we make sure they have one. Our justice system is fair and unbiased to everyone. 
We have jurors who are picked right from the heart of the People. Fair and just. Calling lawyers who are doing their jobs by the oaths that they take, and laws they must abide by "the al Qaeda 7", is personally distasteful.  Ms Cheney is being un-American and maybe she should be pointing she finger at her father, who helped start this whole mess...
That's what I have to say about that!

Keep America Safe -- from Liz Cheney's tactics

In this hyper-partisan age, the bipartisan outrage being expressed over the reprehensible television ad from the fearmongers at Keep America Safe is encouraging. The organization run by Liz Cheney, a state department official under President Bush and the daughter of the former vice president, is attempting to sow seeds of distrust by raising doubts about the loyalties of attorneys who once volunteered to handle the cases of suspected terrorists and are now working in the Justice Department. Wanting to know the identities of the lawyers is one thing. Smearing them as the "the al Qaeda 7" is over the line by a mile.
As The Post editorialized on Saturday, the ad gives the impression the attorneys "had committed a crime or needed to be exposed for subverting national security." And, sadly, it sought to remind folks that part of this nation's grand legal tradition is volunteers taking on cases of suspects who aren't popular or necessarily innocent but who need representation. Despite the Supreme Court ruling that detainees at Guantanemo Bay can challenge their detentions, groups like Keep America Safe is determined to ignore that fact.
Former Solicitor General Walter Dellinger penned a defense for one of the lawyers, Karl Thompson. His work was "not only part of a lawyer's professional obligation but a small act of patriotism as well," Dellinger wrote. He added that all the lawyers targeted by Keep America Safe "deserve our respect and gratitude for fulfilling the professional obligations of lawyers." And Dellinger got some serious back-up today from a group of conservative lawyers and former Bush administration officials, including former independent counsel Kenneth Starr and deputy attorney general Larry Thompson. "To suggest that the Justice Department should not employ talented lawyers who have advocated on behalf of detainees maligns the patriotism of people who have taken honorable positions on contested questions and demands a uniformity of background and view in government service from which no administration would benefit," the signatories noted. I have nothing to add to their persuasive argument. Unfortunately, I'm not too hopeful that it will stop Keep America Safe and its acolytes from trying it again.
