Liz Cheney bashed President Obama Friday night for the way he characterized CIA interrogation practices after Sept. 11, 2001 as "torture."
"Even before I came into office, I was very clear that in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, we did some things that were wrong. We did a whole lot of things that were right, but we tortured some folks," Obama said during a Friday press conference. We did some things that were contrary to our values."
Cheney said this was unacceptable.
"This president is an utter disgrace. Hes got a situation where, as your last two reports showed, youve got crises erupting around the world. 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," Cheney said on Fox News' Hannity.
"Hes lying about what they did, hes slandering them, he went to Cairo and did it in 2009. Today he did it from the podium of the Oval Office. Its a disgrace. Its despicable," Cheney continued.

If you think I'm off-base, look at what (even) some Police Officers do when they ARE watched.

However, equating DU with Liz Cheney? Enjoy your short stay and what do you want your epitaph to be?
