A Witchhunt



The caption to this photo reads:

A witchhunt orchestrated by George W. Bush
supporters
against government lawyers representing
Guantanamo inmates has backfired, as conservatives
joined the outcry against the McCarthy-like attacks.
Liz Cheney, pictured in 2009, daughter of former vice
president Dick Cheney, has come under fire from left
and right for orchestrating the campaign.
I thought the "al-Qaeda 7" ad (see here) was unfair in the way
it was presented. However, in no way is it a "witchhunt." And if
you want to talk about McCarthy-ism then you might want to
read Marc Thiessen's column on that.
