Frakt, an Air Force reservist lieutenant colonel who represented Guantanamo detainees, admits that Liz Cheney has his number:

Maddow: Is it true that you’re a terrorist sympathizer?

Frakt: Yes, Rachel. That’s why, in 2008, I volunteered to represent detainees at Guantánamo. The chance to actually be a U.S. government-paid spokesperson for al-Qaida under the guise of “promoting fairness, justice and the rule of law” was just too delicious an opportunity to pass up. I figured the military commissions at Guantánamo would be the perfect soapbox for me to espouse my terrorist ideology.

Frakt really reveals the goods here — so much so that Glenn Beck would receive the gratification Eric Massa denied him. Not only did Frakt manage to infiltrate the Air Force JAG corps with his treasonous sympathies, but, he reveals, “all the judges on the Federal District Court bench in Washington are part of one big al-Qaida sleeper cell.” That fact was hidden in plain sight. “They’ve granted habeas corpus petitions and ordered the release of 33 detainees out of the 44 cases they’ve heard,” Frakt notes. What other possible explanation is there?

What Frakt doesn’t say is that the problem goes deeper. (Maybe he needed to be waterboarded.) He and his fellow lawyers are hardened ideologues, unshakably determined to uphold an extremist charter known as the Constitution of the United States of America. They’ve sworn what they call bayat — an oath — to it. One of the only ways to truly infuriate them is to tear it up before their eyes. And that’s a potent advantage to interrogators — indeed, to everyone opposed to what we should bluntly call constitutionofascism. The destruction of the Constitution will disorient the adversary and force him to reveal himself. Only then can he be properly confronted.
