She has the same mannerisms as her father

Holy hell where have they been hiding her the past 8 years?

They could have used her to counter-act all the lies being said about the Admin since 2003.

*frustration*

Your headline is accurate. Nora was prepared and gave it her best shot but Nora had her head handed to her It was a joy to watch. "Nora you are reading a headline; you are not reading the memos". "There is no owning up - we are proud of the program". That is what you are saying, not what I am saying". I love it

What are the credentials which make Ms Cheney an expert witness on this torture questioning?

Was she present when any of this took place? Is she biased because her father is involved?

If you need to address the issue, best to interrogate the people that were actually involved. Don't waste our time with these "dramatic" interviews designed to gather viewers.

O'Donnell is an emotional adolescent being corrected by a calm, intelligent adult and hating it.

I love it...Nora looked like that goofy CNN reporter at the Tea Party when her mask slipped.

These "dramatic interviews designed to gather viewers" are brought to you by, and are a product of MSNBC. Liz Cheney didn't decide to crash the party at MSNBC and input her thoughts - she was invited...probably with the hope that she'd crash and burn. Kind of fun to see the propaganda machine go off the cliff this time. I'm betting we won't see much of Liz Cheney on MSNBC anytime soon.

My definition of torture is that off a family who've forced to endure lectures about the civil rights of those who vaporized their mother or father on September 11, 2001. There are those in life who respond to issues and those who proactively attempt to head them off before they happen. In this obviously dangerous world, waiting for the next attack on America to happen is not an option. I'm not concerned with the human rights of those who's stated goal is to destroy America. They have chosen not to be a part of any civilized society - so they shouldn't enjoy the protections which (a few of us) take for granted.

Unless you actually do hate America, the whole waterboarding issue is a no-brainer. Which reminds me, why are we even wasting our time on this nonsense ?

Norah is one dumb broad. If it works it wirks and who gives a flaming rats butt about the feelings of terrorists? waterboarding lets them off easy.

As a former US Army military man, I myself underwent waterboarding in training. YES it is REALLY uncomfortable, but, as Liz so brilliantly pointed out, IT IS NOT TORTURE. Then Norah made the HUGE mistake to mention that if we did "torture" what would our enemy do to our military if captured. Liz was RIGHT ON when she said, They cut off their heads. The left has been using this as a political ploy ONLY for their advantage and screw our own military just to satisfy their own agenda.

They make me sick.

Ms. Cheney made a very valid observation about the release of the memos. Now our enemies know how far we are going to be allowed to go to gain information and even protect ourselves.

This situation is so inane it is hard to believe. Any act that weaks our countries security and endangers our collective safety borders on TREASON.

Do you have a weapon at home for protecting you family? It is like calling in CNN (the communist news network) or MSNBS (merely supporting nonsense Barrack says) and telling to them to publicize that you keep your gun in the top left drawer of your dresser. But, no one has to worry because you would never use it. YOU JUST DEFEATED ITS WHOLE PURPOSE and rendered it ineffective.

Now any crook or crazy that whats that junk knows that you have no intention of defending yourself or your family. God Help Us! Can we survive four years of this insanity?

My favorite part is where Kool-Aid Barbie starts shrieking "Listen to yourself! Listen to yourself!".

Note to Nora -- read the original source before you get in the ring.

She (Cheney) is full of [edited] for part of that. Easily dismissing the acts as NOT torture is pure lying. You could say that school children waterboard each other on the playground, but that doesn't mean it can't be torture.

Also just because there may or may not be some good intel gathered from it [also] doesn't mean it's not torture. There is still the act of torture being involved, so you can't just deny it or avoid it by saying they got some information.

By the way, how does it help our enemies to know that torture happens? Does it mean they will now employ robotic breathing apperatuses that will make waterboarding inneffective? It doesn't matter what they know for this kind of stuff, because it doesn't have anything to do with security.

Norah O'Donnell is a great example of the classic clueless liberal who thinks they know what they're talking about before being utterly destroyed by the facts.

The sad part is, Norah will never change. Liberalism has "infected" people like her and there is no cure - and that is why this country is going to hell in a handbasket.

Recent headlines are full of stories about torture. Writers

seem to be surprised that torture was being used on

detainees suspected of being involved in terrorist activity.

This is nothing new. Torture has been going on since

recorded history. Spartacus, Jesus, and millions of others

rebels were tortured. It was done as punishment to break

their wills before murdering them. This practiced should be

stopped. Nobody but Sadistic monsters benefit from it.

Some are saying that that the recent torture of detainees

was used to gather information that was useful in

protecting the nation. But there has been no proof that a

single bit of that information was useful. There have been

other reasons for torturing hundreds of detainees. New

evidence is surfacing that false confessions were used to

give a valid reason for the invasion of Iraq. There is a wide

spread investigation now going on to get at the truth. It is

feared that the answer will be that it was done for the joy of

the Sadists in power. This should come as no surprise.

Sadism is the norm in most areas of life and it is found

most often in wartime. Many join the military for the

opportunity to express themselves.

The Sadist is feared most by prisoners because he wants

more than information or a confession. He wants to torture

his victims until there is no resistance or cries of pain. This

might take many months. But once his victims becomes

silent and do not scream in agony the Sadist loses interest.

The prisoners becomes useless and the monster looks for

healthy replacements. Those that were water boarded over

one hundred times until silenced were the healthiest of the

victims. It took many months to obtain their silence. They

were broken, rehabilitated, and could go free.

School yard bullies graduate into the big time when they

gain a position of power in the workplace. A sadistic boss

can make the lives of his employees miserable by

constantly threatening to fire them. But unfortunately some

bullies get absolute power when given the job of torturing

prisoners of war. Their first job is to make sure their

victims are well fed and kept healthy. This gives them the

opportunity to interrogate them endlessly. Confessions of

guilt do not end the torture. The sadist stays with his victim

until there is no resistance. A broken prisoner is of no use

to the grown up school yard bully

This is one more example that the press has not learned its lesson with respect to bullying the Cheney women. They can stand on their own two feet and refuse to be intimidated.

Every time one of the Cheney women is featured in the news my memory brings me back to the day when Lynn Cheney turned the tables on Wolf Blitzer. He tried to bully her during an interview on national TV and she artfully humiliated him to the point of him being speechless. It was a sight to behold and I laughed until tears came to my eyes. Wolf was humbled and he deserved it.

From that time on each time I hear the name Wolf Blitzer I form a picture in my mind of Blitzer slinking off to a cave with his tail between his legs and licking his wounds.

Dick and Lynn taught Liz well. I'm sure they are proud of their daughter.

Wow. She is incredible isn't she? I've made similar arguments on my own blog as having gone through survival training myself in the air force. But, it just goes to show - no matter how well laid out the facts are for these libs - they still have their own emotional beliefs that refuse to allow the facts to get in the way as evidenced by Nora's response "So, if we didn't torture our own people, does that mean we tortured other people?" She just doesn't get it.

Liz Cheney worked for the State Department. And Nora O'Donnell's credentials are.... what? I mean aside from a biased reporter who works for the state run media.
