(CNN) - Liz Cheney, daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, has increasingly taken a visible role to defend her father.

Defend him against what? Has he been arrested for war crimes? Have the news networks stopped covering his snarky remarks? He has a right to speak, and the rest of us have a right to think what we want of his words and actions.
Evil begot evil. There is no way to justify torture.
honestly who cares what LIz Cheney thinks?
Liz Cheney should note her father's incredibly low approval ratings. She should take note that no one much actually likes him or cares about anything he has to say.
Liz is no Meghan McCain.
can't we send the Cheney family to Dubai or something over in the middle east since they love it so much? Make Cheney ambassador to Iraq please. The daughter can be the first gay iraqui.
Liz,
You & Dick are full of it! You sound like the OJ Simpson family trying to defend his innocence!
Someone is hiding something and we want to find out! You & Dick need a little bit of enhanced interrogation so that you could tell some truth! This will certainly save many lives (not your/Dick's derriere)! 🙂
Let's face it, she is being positioned to run for some type of political office so the best strategy that they can come up with is to attack, attack, attack – defend, defend, defend. Wow, what a departure from what we have seen in the past 20 years.
twit
trying to wiggle out of their heinous crimes against humanity. LOL
you're not gonna be able to fool us no more.
Go away Liz. You have been sniffed and found wanting. We know what you're shoveling from the smell.
So, here's where I wait to see if all those party line patriot haters who piled on Meghan McCain as a know-nothing daughter of a political figure also pile on this nutjob as a know-nothing daughter of a political figure.
I suspect not, since she is not challenging their narrow closed- mindedness, but let's wait and see.
If Waterboading was legal, Not torchure, and effective in yielding accurate information, then why wasn't every detainee waterboarded?
Why was it only reserved for 3 prisoners?
Why wasn't it widely deployed to other prisons in Iraq and Afganistan?
If Cheney truely believed what that it is legal, then why do no it?
Beautiful Liz. Thank you!
Now THIS is an interview. Strong questions, strong responses. Both sides scored points. Roland Martin needs to watch this and learn.
Interesting that the word "defend" defines all Cheney, Ms. Cheney and Matlin do ... no solutions – no ideas ... just stonewall and repeat their old tired song and dance ... sometimes a good defense is a vigorous offense but when you are only attempting to defend the indefensible – its only pathetic.
She's just as dillusional as her daddy. Did they sit down and the dinner table and discuss enhanced interrogation techniques? If not, then she needs to shut the hell up.
The neocon, er...I mean the apple doesn't fall far...
She is another example of how things go in the Republican world, where nepotism and the buddy system corrupted our government. Well, she has the right to rave on if she wants and we have the right to laugh at her silly little efforts to cover her fathers behind.
Boo hiss give this woman a whip and chair...she belongs in a circus.

Former VP Dick Cheney has asserted that water boarding, a torture technique, was carried out under Bush administration. Now it looks like, either Bush did not know about this or he was misinformed when he said 'We Don't Torture'.
Thrivi
Why won't the Cheney's just GO AWAY!?!?
cheney is more interested in defending his legacy than the security of this great country! His is doing a great harm to the image and security of this nation! He should be prosecuted!
like father like daughter..what the hell does she know about water boarding for God's sake...please just go hunting with your dad and leave us alone to go on with a better life than that which your dads' administration left us
We care as much about what Liz Cheney has to say as we do her father, and that is nothing.
CNN, you continue to support, headline Cheney, pushing him down
the throats of Americans who have NO respect, give no credit o
anything he has to say. He is a dishonorable, unethical man, guilty of many misdeeds against us and our country.
Please stop it.
I can't wait to hear Liz Cheney defend her father ... in a court of law.
