…three examples of lawyers who advocated for the rights of detainees before being hired by the Bush administration,

Pratik Shah, who argued in the defense of a Guantanamo prison detainee:

“So, did Bush and Cheney hire Pratik Shah to bring a terrorist sympathizer into the department of jihad — I mean justice?”

Varda Hussain, who defended three Guantanamo detainees:

Did Bush and Cheney hire Varda Hussain to bring a terrorist sympathizer into the department of jihad — I mean justice?”

Rachel Maddow on Liz Cheney’s already infamous television ad attacking the so-called ‘Al-Qaeda 7.’

Despite falsehoods, MSNBC says Liz Cheney ‘great guest’

Despite the fact that their own host, Rachel Maddow, has lambasted the exposure of “lies” propagated by Cheney daughter Elizabeth Cheney, an MSNBC spokesman said in an email Friday that she’s a “great guest.”:

“We often have repeat guests on, from both sides of the aisle, when they are interesting and engaging. There are many people who appear frequently throughout the day on MSNBC, and Liz is a great guest.” - MSNBC spokesperson Alana Russo

According to MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow, former Vice President Cheney’s daughter, Liz Cheney, who has been making frequent television appearances to defend her father, has now reached the “persecution stage” of that defense.

“All this stuff is on tape,” Maddow noted quizzically. “Maybe the Cheneys don’t know that.”
