Video - Fox Sunday: Hume and Kristol bicker over Gitmo fate

While Bill Kristol and the other panelists at Fox News Sunday seemed to agree that Gitmo might be closed, Brit Hume refused to accept the possibility.

Brit must have gotten programmed by the GOP denial cult this weekend. He's a good robot.

Watching the right-wingers frustrated with each other is a nice change.

1. cheney boy gave Brit a ring you know--and being a lapdog he went

bow wow!!

[tishaLA]

2. That is a fascinating clip

Hume seems to be personally offended by the discussion and goes so far as to call Abu Ghraib a "public relations failure" without addressing the substance of the complaints against either Abu Ghraib or Guantanamo.

[Coexist]

3. Hume - "you can't treat them like regular prisoners"

and - why would that be? Most of these people haven't even been charged with crimes. And how should these prisoners be treated? Is it okay to hold them to a different standard than Prisoners of War?

How absurd.

[DisassemblingHisLies]

7. Notice that Hume pointed out if the Gitmo prisoners were moved to

the U.S. "different rules would apply".

The prisoners would then have due process in the law, right, Brit? And remember, this president is so paranoid he wouldn't allow non-sheeple, American citizens to attend his public-speaking appearances without signing a loyalty oath. Those wearing non-*Bush political buttons/t-shirts were roughed up & booted out of the events. So we know first-hand how quick-on-the-draw this administration is when assigning guilt.

[Coexist]

8. and how adamant he was that our prison system not be used

wtf was that? Why is it okay to treat terror suspects inhumanely? We have proof that doesn't work. What a fascist idiot.

[pacalo]

10. We also know that torture techniques don't evoke accurate information.

Which is why the U.S. "torture rooms" are overflowing with suspects.

[bpilgrim]

17. someone needs to bring up Imperial Japan's treatment of POWs WWII

that will shut'm ALL up.

and i WISH someone with the MIC starts bringing up our similar policy of bringing PEACE-PROSPERITY-SECURITY to a certain region of the world. (GEACPS)

agreed, ours is MUCH more ambitious we are bringing it to the WORLD :nuke:

peace

[minnesotaDFLer]

4. that hule guy

needs to be shot, human rights dont apply...

[TheFarseer]

5. Unbelievable!

Brit looked like a total ASS! Bill Crystal looked reasonable. Will wonders never cease? Just when you thought the torture issue was lost because of Newsweek, it might be starting to get some legs.

[smoogatz]

6. Extraordinary.

This looks like it may be the start of a real split among conservative intellectuals--the pro-Rummy and anti-Rummy camps, if you will.

[peacetalksforall]

9. Talk about closing the cages at GITMO is ONLY A DIVERSION from

the real problem. Don't get caught up in the stupidity of closing it down. They will just move the prisoners to remote islands in the Indian Ocean - without airports. Those prisoners will be worse off - no Senators visiting them, then doing nothing.

Learn more about the real problem. Lawyerless human beings kept in cage like conditions whose tormentors pxxx on their Korans.

A good per cent of them have been found innocent and they knowit. Meanwhile, familes are destroyed.

Brought to you by people who don't believe in retribution.

[pacalo]

11. Secret locations. No one will ever find them.

[Cats Against Frist]

12. That. Was. Awesome.

Just another bit of fodder to my theory that, with a good lay and some good weed, Trotskyite Kristol would come around.

Uh, that aside...

I thought it was fascinating that Hume set it out quite nicely for the freepers:

American Left = Europe = People Who Hate America

What a fucking asshole.

And -- the fact that some in the GOP are on the side of closing it down, or agreeing that it's a bad thing proves, to me, that it must be more horrible than we could imagine, or has been reported -- and they're just trying to get in front of the ball. That's usually their strategy.

[CatWoman]

13. amazing

Brit :wow:

Even Maura looked uncomfortably at him.

[Al-CIAda]

14. Brit needs a fucking pie. He is 'unhinged', 'unglued', and 'insane'.

Maybe Brit needs a pie.

[OneTwentyoNine]

15. Hume.....Hitler is calling you from the grave.....

Hell Brit why don't we just mow em down with machine guns and then bring in a fresh batch??

Guess Brit didn't catch the mems where many have been released,given money and returned because they were INNOCENT!

[Al-CIAda]

16. Thats a minor point that gets omitted. many are INNOCENT. Brit has become

'rabid', and ''detached from reality'.

[Rageneau]

18. Hume used to be senior White House correspondent for ABC news

During the rain (sic) of GHW Bush, it was Britt Hume who came on ABC TV every night and told us how okeley-dokely everything Poppy was doing was.

My point: Hume has NEVER been an objective journalist, in spite of the fact that he long represented a major news outlet.

And what was true for Hume then is true for Blitzer, Kurtz, Cameron, Stossel and many more today.

Liberal media, my foot!

[K8-EEE]

19. Thanks, Interesting Clip, Recommended!

Wheels def coming off -- look at the way they are all looking at Hume like he's, well, nuts. The only way to "fight terror" is to run prison camps in which detainees permanently have no charges, due process, trials, or rights??

When that truly becomes the law of the land, then you know the terrorists really have won.
