William Kristol & Liz Cheney are off promoting their new PAC, simply named "Keep America Safe." Their website is eerily reminiscent of Obama's campaign website. So far, their efforts mostly involve repackaging Fox News segments (above) to criticize Obama's recent foreign policy moves. This level of politicization is poison for proper debate about America's interests in the world.
Analysis from Scott Horton of Harper's:
I’d reduce the real purpose of Keep America Safe to this: “Please don’t prosecute my father!” It’s increasingly clear that Dick Cheney was the author of the Bush-era torture policies, and my hunch is that when the Justice Department releases the OPR report on the torture memos, we’re going to find more evidence of the invisible hand of Dick Cheney behind the whole project. Any fair-minded federal prosecutor looking into the matter would shortly be preparing to do what Patrick Fitzgerald probably wishes now he had done: indict Dick Cheney.
