You've all seen by now the clip of Norah O'Donnel's MSNBC interview with Liz Cheney featured in kat68's recommended diary, and if by some chance you haven't, go now.

We could spend a lifetime talking about the blindness and circular logic -- if it's even fair to call it logic -- that Liz offered up on behalf of her dad's promotion of torture, but I have a different question.

On what planet does it make any sense for Liz Cheney to be on national television telling everyone that torture isn't torture because her daddy told her so?

I understand that Liz Cheney worked in the Bush "administration," but was her father really discussing what he claims today are the still-classified details of how well this program was supposedly working with the Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Near Eastern Affairs?

And if not, what in the world is she doing on television talking about it as though he had?

Really. She came armed with all the talking points, but essentially she was there to say that it was all OK because her dad said so. Are we going to be treated to an appearance next week regarding her views of Santa Claus and the stork story?
