In Defense of Lawyers defending "so-called" Terrorists

Your Humble Blogger takes a back seat to no one in seeing no legitimate roll for CRIMINAL DEFENSE lawyers in the fighting the War on Radical Islamic Jihadists. While enemy combatants may well have also committed war crimes, their activities in making war on the United States allows for their legal detention under the Laws of War indefinitely w/o. first being convicted of a criminal offense and sentenced to a defined term of incarceration,

That said, however, not every individual taken into custody by the "All Knowing" Feds. has been correctly identified as an enemy combatant. Accordingly, the legal representation of persons designated as a Prisoner of War (after full interrogation) is legitimate, honorable and patriotic. It is one of the highest callings for American attorneys seeking to curb the arbitrary exercise of governmental power, not criminal defense counsel trying to get a plea deal for a guilty or not client.

So, Liz Cheney should be more conservative - a Federal Government w/. the Absolute Power to declare anyone as an Enemy of the State w/o. independent, neutral review of that designation can also just disappear her and her Father too. As we know, power corrupts and absolute power... just saying.
