Liz Cheney refuses to discuss her daddy's role in CIA

WASHINGTON (AP) — Vice President Dick Cheney's daughter Liz said Tuesday she doesn't believe her father did anything wrong in connection with a secret CIA operation that officials have said was designed to capture and kill al-Qaida figures.

At the same time, Liz Cheney accused House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and congressional Democrats of seeking to politicize lingering arguments over how the Bush administration conducted the war against terrorism in the wake of the Sept. 11 attacks.

Asked directly on MSNBC whether her father directed the CIA not to keep Congress fully informed about the secret program, Cheney said, "This is a classified program and he doesn't talk about classified programs." snip

Liz Cheney, a former principal deputy secretary of state for Mideast affairs during George W. Bush's presidency, is helping her father write his memoirs. She aggressively defended him in Tuesday's nationally broadcast interview while declining to say point-blank whether he had violated any law or rule.

The closest she came was in declaring, "There's no evidence of that."

5. I heard this live. She had no defense when asked by Eugene Robinson about
violating the law: NSA 1947. She responded that the executive branch has the power to decide what is told (to Congress?) and what is not told.

7. How does Liz have access to proof of what that program was or how
her father was involved?

His word?

Since all of this is classified, how did she get the information she has?

Her father?

Sorry, Liz is not a good source for information since HER source is The Dick. Can't he realize that only a sliver of the population believes anything he says, and that this sliver narrows each day?

What a sorry hunk of flesh.
