Liz Cheney Favors Review of Interrogation Methods

Congresswoman Liz Cheney is applauding President Donald Trump's plan to review interrogation techniques.

The Wyoming Republican is the daughter of former Vice President Dick Cheney, known for advocating enhanced interrogation techniques in the George W. Bush administration.

Cheney says she is "very heartened" to learn of the Trump administration move to conduct a sweeping review of how America conducts the war on terror, including possible resumption of banned interrogation methods.

Speaking to reporters at the congressional Republican retreat in Philadelphia, Cheney says that since stopping the enhanced interrogation program "we're not even in a position anymore frankly where we're very often capturing people."

She also says that enhanced interrogation helped lead to the capture and killing of Osama bin Laden, a contention that's widely disputed.
