Cheney group questions loyalty of Justice lawyers



Liz Cheney's group Keep America Safe, which has led the resurgent Republican attacks on President Obama's national security policies, is releasing a video this morning that questions the loyalties of Justice Department lawyers who advocated for detained terror suspects during the Bush Administration.

The group has been hammering Attorney General Eric Holder for months on the issue, which has drawn increasing attention from Senate Republicans. Senator Charles Grassley last month pushed Holder to identify any lawyers who had represented detainees, and the Department said last month that nine Justice Department appointees filled that category -- but he refused to name those whose work hadn't been previously reported. Conservatives view the partial disclosure as another Holder misstep, and in a new video, the group is going on offense.

"Holder will only name two. Why the secrecy behind the other seven? Whose values do they share?" asks the video, suggesting that the lawyers support terrorism. "Americans have a right to know the identity of the Al Qaeda Seven."

1. She, like her father, sold her soul a long time ago.

2. Now this is truly evil
She and her Shirker Old Man with Five-Military Deferments are advocating "Guilty Until Proven Innocent" and wanting to villify those who upheld American traditions of law and order...

Republicon Family Values are so un-American.

5. So, to sum things up-
Edited on Tue Mar-02-10 02:52 PM by WhoIsNumberNone
The Repubuliscum want to be able to arrest people and:
- Deny them Miranda rights
- Hold them indefinitely without charge
- Try them in military courts (i.e. no jury)
and now
- Deny them legal representation

Does this sound like anyone else we know?

7. That pretty much sums it up
My mother says she's heard that crap before-from 1938-45 in Austria.

8. I really wish Obama would unleash the hounds....
And let people in the Justice department and other agencies properly investigate Cheney. Apart from trying to adopt the Rahm Emanuel mindset (sorry...having trouble...), I really don't understand why these people aid and abet Five Deferment Dick by doing nothing.

9. One thing that you can count on
if the Cheney crowd is against it, it must be ok.
