Chief Washington News Reader for MSNBC is Norah O'Donnell. Watch her in the interview below, in which Liz Cheney explains the Bush administration position on aggressive interrogations. O'Donnell goes well beyond the role of devil's advocate in her conduct of the interview. I guess you could say she's your basic plain vanilla advocate, advocating prosecution of Bush administration officials. However, Liz Cheney came prepared.

O'Donnell's chief complaint seems to be that America's image has been damaged, an assertion that is unprovable for one thing. There's always somebody complaining about America. For another, America's image is in a small degree dependent upon the presentation of it by the media -- by people like O'Donnell.
"America's image," "no way of knowing,"
It's all about feelings with the left, not facts

Sheesh, would you PLEASE always use at least a first initial when citing the name O'Donnell in reference to contemporary political thinking?
The unintended imagery of position-logic is disturbing, even IF it may be appropriate.

Thank you for this video, Liz is great. I think a fundamental issue is that the folks in power took a reasoned and deliberate approach to be sure they were not crossing a line based on principles. The Left confuses this with how they might have implemented a similar program and are justifiably horrified. I guess we now have to stay tuned and hope for the best given today's reality. Unfortunately, our enemies take comfort while watching from their caves. :-D
