Liz Cheney: Stop ‘political’ investigation of torture and focus more on Benghazi

Fox News contributor Liz Cheney on Sunday argued that a United States Senate report on Bush-era torture was “political” and that lawmakers should spend more time investigating President Barack Obama’s role in failing to prevent terrorist attacks in Benghazi.

Last week, the Senate Intelligence Committee voted 11-3 to request that the White House declassify parts of an investigation into the CIA’s enhanced interrogation program, whose chief backer in the Bush White House was former Vice President Dick Cheney.

“If you’re going to say that we should not have conducted the enhanced interrogation program, if you’re going to say that we shouldn’t have waterboarded three terrorists, then you’ve got to say that you’re willing to accept the consequences of that,” the former vice president’s daughter said on a Sunday morning Fox News panel. “You’ve got to be willing to say how many American lives would you have been willing to put at risk because you didn’t want to waterboard Khalid Sheikh Mohammed.”

Fox News political analyst Juan Williams quipped that Liz Cheney was the “good daughter,” but the American people had a right to know what the CIA was doing in their name, and if the techniques were effective.

1. Considering the torture program was a prime recruiting tool of al Queda...

...Liz needs to answer "how many American lives were put at risk -- and lost or badly injured -- because you did waterboard people, and worse."

2. “If you’re going to say that we should have conducted the enhanced interrogation program, if you

are going to say you support ignoring treaties as well as US Laws against torture, Well somebody
(Yes I am looking at your dad honey) needs to stand up and be willing to accept the consequences of that.

That is how democracy is supposed to work.

8. Is that a real photo, the St. Elmo's Fire/Breakfast Club one?

Wouldn't be surprised, considering how they were masters of the fake-out.

9. Yeah we'll get right on that Liz.

[gratuitous]

10. Hmmm, Liz appears to avoid the "T" word

I wonder if she would subject herself to waterboarding (and other <ahem> enhanced interrogation techniques) just to show all us rubes and dupes how much none of it is torture? Her old man doesn't appear to have what it takes to cash the fat checks his mouth writes; does Liz?
