Simply because something is unprecedented does not make it automatically "un-American." I think it would behoove Ms. Cheney to learn the distinction.hscfreehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15248588351369527519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-12540903591827543942009-05-19T14:11:26.519-07:002009-05-19T14:11:26.519-07:00Liz Cheney made a valid point.

Therefore, her point was that this prosecution is not a characteristic or precedent of the U.S. I think her words were chosen as a return attack to the Wicked Witch from the Upper West Side Mrs. Katrina Vanden Heuvel who asserted the techniques made America "less safe." I listened to the podcast, as I usually do, and her and Vanden Heuvel were at each others throats. I see the term un-American as being used to both rile up Katrina and simply show how unprecedented the action being considered, in fact, was.KSnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5905181885778117365.post-64086497861003887662009-05-19T07:31:00.000-07:002009-05-19T07:31:00.000-07:00It is incredible to witness.
