Obama is "slandering" CIA

Liz Cheney, the daughter of the former vice president, says President Barack Obama is “slandering” the CIA in speeches on foreign soil.

Speaking on “Fox News Sunday,” Cheney gave a qualified endorsement of Obama’s Nobel Peace Prize speech, but she said there were segments with which she staunchly disagreed.

“As we see this president repeatedly go onto foreign soil and accuse America of having tortured people [and] talk about Guantanamo Bay as an abandonment of our ideals, that part of the speech, to me, is really — is nothing short of shameful,” said Cheney, whose father, Vice President Dick Cheney, was the Bush administration official most closely associated with such tough U.S. tactics. “And it’s not just an attack on political opponents, it really is casting apersions and, I would say, slandering the men and women in the CIA who carried out key programs that kept us safe,” Cheney asserted.
