Clinton says Cheney not a "reliable source"
« on: April 22, 2009, 02:46:02 PM »


WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took aim on Wednesday at former Vice President Dick Cheney, telling lawmakers she did not view him as a "particularly reliable source" on issues of torture.

Asked about Cheney's request this week to declassify documents showing the "success" of some widely condemned, harsh interrogation techniques launched by ex-President George W. Bush after the September 11 attacks, Clinton had a caustic reply.

"It won't surprise you that I don't consider him (Cheney) a particularly reliable source," Clinton told the House of Representatives foreign affairs committee.

Last week, the Democratic Obama administration released classified Bush-era legal memos detailing the interrogation program, which symbolized U.S. excesses in fighting terrorism after the September 11 attacks.

Clinton said she backed a "nonpolitical", "nonpartisan" review of the interrogation program. "I believe we ought to get to the bottom of this entire matter. I think it is in the best interest of our country and that is what the president believes," she said.

The White House spokesman on Tuesday also addressed Cheney's comments, saying Obama had had a policy disagreement with Cheney on this issue for at least two years.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

She's probably still upset because Bill didn't view her as a "particularly reliable source" for a good roll in the hay.

Nevermind the fact that the DSI said the same thing...

...in a written memo...

...that the administration redacted to hide the parts that contradicted their staged outrage.


What's that about reliable sources?

From the person that called Petraeus dishonsest...stood by her lying husband for years...I don`t consider Hillary Clinton a reliable source to discuss what honesty is.

She also had a suspension of disbelief when Gen. Petraeus spoke...so Hillary isn't a reliable source when questioning other people's reliability.

Does that make sense?  :confused:

Yeah, good point. I heard a larger excerpt between Clinton and the congressman tonight. He was asking her if she thought the other memos should be released. After her comment about Cheney, he said, "I did not ask you your opinion of Vice President Cheney. I asked you if you thought the memos should be released." (I am paraphrasing.) So, Clinton's comment was not only a gratuitous cheap shot at Cheney, it was an evasion. Then, after getting called back to the topic at hand, she still would not answer the question.
