Liz Cheney Criticizes Administration For Its "First Instinct" To Mirandize

[mnnh1]

Studies have shown that EI techniques DO NOT yield reliable intel!

Liz is a whore..... worse than her father. State Dept. failure. Go clean up the oil spill your asshole father's policies created. Someone ask her why Haliburton paid her father 34 million AFTER he was elected VP. The fix was in for deregulation.

[whoyouare13]

ZShe is just mad because Obama has had more success in keeping our country safe than her father did. She is mad because in 2 seperate cases that the CONSTITUITONALY MANDATED MIRANDA WARNING was used we got more credible info than from anyobody that was waterboarded. And I am LOVING every minute of her and the right wings jealousy!

@whoyouare13 Your ignorance of the law and history is simply astounding. The enhanced interrogation techniques disrupted a number of terror plots. As for the Miranda warnings, the only purpose they serve is to ensure that statements made by the person can be used as evidence in a prosecution. In both cases the intelligence value of the information may well have exceeded their value in a prosecution as there is sufficient evidence in both cases for conviction without the statements.

[whoyouare13]

@nnjhansen you can call it whatever you want,its still water boarding. All the info gotten from that was no good. They told them whatever they wanted to hear just to get them to stop. You get liz cheney to get water boarded and I GUARANTEE they could get her to confess to ANYTHING! They could get her to confess to the murder of Abe Lincoln. Obama's admin using the PROPER proceedures has gotten more useful info. Not to mention has kept us safer than liz's father did.

[nnjhansen]

@whoyouare13 The interrogation procedures were NOT used to elicit confessions. In fact, they were used to make the terrorist compliant by getting him to answer questions for which we already knew the answer. Once he began answering such questions truthfully he was asked other questions in a non-coercive setting that led to real terrorist plots being uncovered and real terrorists being apprehended. Nothing the Obama admin has gotten remotely compares as best as is publicly known.

[whoyouare13]

@nnjhansen No matter how you spin it,its still water boarding. Even navy seals who have been water boarded as a part of their training say its torcher. So far the xmas bomber and the most recent one have told us more about their plots than anyone waterboarded combined! Not to mention that we are safer now under Obama than we ever were under bush.

[nnjhansen]

@whoyouare13 Yes, it is waterboarding and I and tens of thousands of others have undergone it as part of military training. As we do it to our own men, that is prima facie evidence that it is NOT torture.

The Christmas Day bomber and the Times Square bomber have to the best of our knowledge not led us to uncovering any other plots nor to apprehending any other terrorists.

[whoyouare13]

@nnjhansen I've heard of online wannabe soldiers on here. Never thought i'd actually be debating one. I call bullshit on your military claims and having been water boarded. I'll take the word of ACTUAL soldiers that have been waterboarded over the word of an online wannabe soldier. Yes it is torture. I would be willing to bet anything that if you were waterboarded,they could get you to confess to the 9/11 attacks.

[nnjhansen]

@whoyouare13 I cannot begin to tell you how little I care if you believe me or not. The fact is that waterboarding, as done during SERE training and by the CIA is an extremely effective form of coercion that does not meet the legal elements of torture. That is precisely why we subject our servicemen to it while not subjecting them to other effective methods that are torturous.

Again, the method was not used in order to get anyone to confess to anything.

Ok so from what I'm hearing from Liz Cheney you take this Terrorist to Federal Court not read his rights. The lawyer who represents him in this case tells the Judge he wasn't read his rights and then charged for criminal acts. The judge might be forced to let him go because of not read his rights before going to court. Oh God Liz is so freaking dumb... it's unbelievable.. I'm pretty sure that underwear bomber dude was read his rights too and he still kept speaking.

[repubtodem]

Liz thinks no american citizen should be mirandized first wow she is one sick lady because that is basically what she is saying the guy was American so she wants Americans to have no rights my oh my. hey might I ask why your dad and bush

mirandize the shoe bomber hmmm I wonder maybe because They had to you dip! she has really joined the Paling and Bachmann I am really a past blonde bomb shell that has no clue club! god forgive you Liz I will pray for you.

[Neoconhater]

The first instinct for chumps like Liz Cheney is to lie, obfuscate and just spew regressive drivel.

Any Cheney is afraid of the truth, and the truth is her father was in power when terror suspects were Mirandized and then prosecuted in criminal courts.

But she lies, the last guy in NYC wasn't Mirandized right away. He talked and talked and then after a while was Mirandized.

Liz Cheney and her family are scum, and they hate America and the rule of law, but first and foremost they hate the truth.

[junkforkaryn]

who needs foreign terrorists when we've got the cheneys.

[MidnightChimes]

I can't figure out why the teabaggers support conservatives. They want less power for the federal government but each time the conservatives insist on more power...like being able to take away someone's citizenship or torturing them...they gain more support from teabaggers. If the government is evil and too powerful, the last thing you want is for them to take away people's liberties.

Why does anyone listen to this BIMBO and what are her credentials in terrorist interrogation strategies ?
