Department of Jihad? Really?


Turns out Liz Cheney, the straight daughter of Dick, is a lying bitch.
.
She was one of the founders behind a new ad that accuses the attorneys that represent some of the Gitmo detainees as members of the Department of Jihad.
.
Here is some background: Last week, Keep America Safe, the pro-torture advocacy group that Cheney co-chairs with Bill Kristol, ran a web ad that labeled seven DOJ lawyers who had previously represented detainees at Gitmo -- or simply filed amicus briefs in their cases -- "the Al Qaeda Seven."
.
Wow! Many of these same attorneys are military. Some of the people they represent are innocent and found so.
.
But forget this particular offensive ad. Think of the underlying premise. If representing an "accused" terrorist makes you a member of Al Qaeda, then follow the logic. Representing an accused burglar means you're a thief, representing an accused murder means you are a killer, representing a party in a divorce means that you are an adulterer bent on destroying our marriage.
.
She is evil for linking an American ideal - Innocent Until Proven Guilty - to terrorism.
