Have you no Sense of decency!!!!

The "Al-Qaeda 7" is a smear campaign going on right now that I have been watching over the interwebs. It has gotten coverage but not what it deserves. A group of right wing necons. Liz Cheney and Bill Kristol are smearing Department of Justice lawyers who have been assigned to act as defense attorney's for detainees in Gitmo.

This is a situation in which I will simply ask you to read what Eugene Robinson has to say on this matter as he does a much better job than I could attempt.

"The word "McCarthyism" is overused, but in this case it's mild. Liz Cheney, the former vice president's ambitious daughter, has in her hand a list of Justice Department lawyers whose "values" she has the gall to question. She ought to spend the time examining her own principles, if she can find them."
