Torture: A Family Affair for the Cheney Clan
Torture: A Family Affair for the Cheney Clan
Lizzie Cheney starts making the “I love my daddy” tour to defend torture. See below. Two things I find interesting in Lizzie’s argument are a). that she is lying on television about what the two former DCIs actually said and b). she appears to know a great deal about what is supposed to be classified information. If you listen to her, she is saying that if people could read the memos in their entirety, then they would see that everyone was being careful not to cross the line into torture. As far as I know, not all of the memos have been declassified. So how does she know this? Here is Lizzie aggressively defending torture:
Can anyone imagine what Lizzie would have done for a living had her daddy not gotten her a job in his administration? Would she argue how effective concentration camps were for raising the German economy? Because surely, regardless of how effective an immoral act is, it does no change that it is immoral, right? Moreover, torture is illegal. So why is Lizzie arguing that torture worked to save American lives when it is both immoral and illegal?
