With the enemy or with America?

Cheney group questions loyalty of Justice lawyers - Ben Smith - POLITICO.com

YouTube - Keep America Safe: Who Are The Al Qaeda Seven?

Quote:
"Holder will only name two. Why the secrecy behind the other seven? Whose values do they share?" asks the video, suggesting that the lawyers support terrorism. "Americans have a right to know the identity of the Al Qaeda Seven."
Yes, who are the AQ seven, those wonderful, patriotic, leftist attorneys who took up the cause of the detainees and now have critical positions with the Justice Dept.

And WHY won't Holder name them? Did obama approve of these terrorist sympathizers in key positions at Justice?

The most transparent administration ever?

Not on your life.

Oh, Liz. How cowardly she is. She sure is conveniently forgetting the L. Cmdr(s) Swift & Mizer in the U.S. Navy who represented Hamadan, one of those detainee's on orders from the Pentagon, isn't she. She who like her father (of 5 deferments)didn't serve, and is now attempting to see what next will stick to the wall.

I would ask Lizzy first...where does her loyalties lie?

Holder's only loyalty in office should be to the Constitution and the law.

I seem to remember than John Adams defended the British soldiers accused of the Boston Massacre. He became a signer of the Declaration of Independence, first Vice-President, and second President of the United States.

Exactly.

Standing by the principles of one's country when it's unpopular is patriotic on a level that Cheney will never, ever get.

If that were true, WHY is Holder withholding the names?

Because there's an entire industry of unprincipled talking heads backing those who praise expediency over principle, and there's no compelling reason to give them or their bonehead followers anything whatsoever.

For a while, people would meekly accept anything from Cheney and his ilk in the name of terrorism. However, it appears that Americans have refound their balls and started reeling in the excesses, and I for one salute that.

It's touching that Liz Cheney is trying to salvage what remains of Daddy's reputation, but the magic phrases - 9/11, terror, Al Queda - that worked so well for him are not as powerful as they used to be. Which is good.

Sorry, but when members of congress ask specifically WHO these terrorist sympathizers are, they should get an answer.

And...it appears the pressure has worked, although Holder won't say if they are working on detainee issues, which would surely favor the detainees.

Keep America Safe

Anaaand there we have it. Insisting on rule of law and taking the Constitution seriously now makes you a terrorist sympathizer.

These lawyers are just part and parcel of the "type" obama gravitates to. He said it in his own book - radicals, marxists, anti-government, anti-white.

Those are the people he hung with, it should not be a surprise that those are the people he stocks his administration with.

Are YOU Liz Cheney in disguise? Are you planning to run for President?
