Arab Press: Cheney Urges Daughter Not to Be 'Human Shield'

Vice President Dick Cheney will soon head to Jordan to urge his daughter, who is in the capital, Amman, not to go to Baghdad with "human shields," an Arabic daily in London claims.

Al Quds Al Arabi wrote today: "News agencies cited sources as saying that Cheney will arrive in Amman next Friday. He will try to convince his daughter who is currently staying at a hotel in Amman not to go to Baghdad along with a group of volunteers who want to go to Iraq and form human shields against the Anglo American attacks.”

United Press International today quoted a Cheney aide as saying, "Neither daughter even has plans to travel to that region, let alone Iraq."

A spokesman for the U.S. Embassy said Cheney was not on his way to Jordan, UPI reported.

"The embassy has no information that the U.S. vice president will arrive in Jordan Tuesday [sic] to convince one of his daughters not to travel to Iraq to join human shields opposed to war," UPI quoted the spokesman as saying.

Most of the pompous would-be "human shields" have already run home crying to their cushy gas-guzzling lives in Europe and North America. But some sons of Western officials have already volunteered as "human shields" in Iraq, including the son of Canadian Foreign Minister Bill Graham, the Web site Al Bawaba reported today.

Although the London newspaper did not name Cheney's daughter, it said she was believed to be Mary Cheney, 34. His other daughter, Elizabeth, 36, is married with three children in Washington, where she is deputy assistant secretary for Near-East affairs at the State Department.

Mary Cheney "has not kept her homosexuality a secret - either to her friends or to her employer, Coors Brewing Co., where she was the gay and lesbian corporate relations manager," Al Bawaba said.

During her father's vice presidential campaign in 2000, Miss Cheney told Time magazine: "I love my father. I don't want to be a distraction."



Note to would-be "human shields": Flesh and bone will not stop cruise missiles and the Mother of All Bombs.

That's idiotic! Let her go, hope she had a good life!

And just when you think you've heard it all.
You have got to be kidding!!!

Well, since this is coming from "Camel-Jockey International Press/TV", I'll believe it when and if I SEE it.

Yeah, me too.

I bet she does not go through with this. It is no doubt some stupid publicity stunt.

What I read was that neither daughter has even thought of going. Consider the source folks.. The arab press. If she's there and plans on going, I feel bad for Dick, but she's made her own choice. Apparently she's not only confused about the war, but other issues IF THIS IS TRUE!! But this could just be worthless dribble.

I agree, StreetSoldier ... I'll believe when I SEE it, also.

lol if he can't convince his daughter that this war is justified how can he convince America...sigh. You can't pick your family.
