Hysteria and Hypocrisy of the Left in Criticizing Liz Cheney

It is apparent that many critics never even heard Liz Cheney's remarks about the "Al-Qaeda Seven" attorneys recently appointed by Eric Holder to the Justice Department. It's unfortunate that Liz Cheney chose to make her points in such a melodramatic way, but the message should not be ignord.
1. Liz Cheney NEVER said that the Islamic terrorists should not have lawyers.
2. She NEVER said that lawyers from Holder's firm or any firm should not give their time pro bono, or with a fee, to defend Al-Qaida terrorists.
3. She DID say that there should be military trials and not civilian trials.
4. She NEVER said that lawyers who defended the Islamic terrorists could not work for the Justice Dept.
5. She DID say that the identity of these lawyers should be made public and their views and values regarding Islamic Terrorism should be questioned and made public because these Justice Department lawyers can influence policy and procedures. 
Many Lefties, who are now so offended by Liz Cheney's comments,were outraged when attorneys John Yoo and Jay Bybee gave legal advice to Dick Cheney about anti-terrorism methods when these two worked for the Justice Department. The Lefties called for the disbarment of Yoo and Bybee.

Evidently, the Lefties (Liberals, Progressives, socialists) believe that it is important and ethical to defend Islamic terrorists, without questioning the views of the attorneys involved, but giving advice on anti-terrorism methods to be used against Islamic Terrorist is cause for disbarment.
