Rep. Liz Cheney (R-Wyo.) praised President Donald Trumps reported decision to order a review of how the U.S. is handling the war on terror...
Its been clear, certainly since we stopped the enhanced interrogation program, were not even in a position anymore, frankly, where were very often capturing people, Cheney said. We have nothing to do with people when we do capture them.
What we know is that the enhanced interrogation program provided some of the information, and some of the evidence, that eventually led us to be able to locate, capture and kill bin Laden, Cheney said. I do support enhanced interrogation, I think that its something that clearly has helped us in the past to save lives, and so I was glad to see President Trump take that step.
The use of enhanced interrogation has been ― when it was in use ― very limited, Cheney said, limited to only three people who were waterboarded and used in a situation where we had to get information to save American lives.
Its the responsibility of any chief executive, any commander in chief to make sure we use every tool at our disposal, she continued, understanding that its not torture. We dont torture, we havent tortured.

Well, it (waterboarding) wasnt torture, so thats not the right way to lay out the argument.
So I think it does a real disservice to the people who ran the (torture) program to equate it with robbing a bank or with criminal activity.

Liz Cheney, We Have a Memory. Youre No Hero.
Nah. No amnesia for me, thank you.
With respect to Dick Cheney, I ask you to recall just one thing: the torture program under the Bush administration. Hes said that if he had it to do over, he would torture again.
The torture gene must run in the family, for Liz Cheney praised the Trump administrations review of the treatment of terrorism suspects. As HuffPost reported:
Cheney also asserted that waterboarding works, and that it helped in securing crucial information leading to the capture of Al Qaeda leader Osama bin Laden (a debunked theory). Its been clear, certainly since we stopped the enhanced interrogation program, were not even in a position anymore, frankly, where were very often capturing people, Cheney said.

And of course, she has no problem lying about the Democratic Party's position on abortion. Of course, she's full of shit.

I'm no fan but as she is what she is, her ah, conservative views, are no surprise.

If you thought that, you were mistaken. What part of "Cheney" did you not understand?

I wonder how her "colleagues" feel about sitting on the same committee after hearing that?
