Here we go again! It sounds like these pundits are hoping for another 9/11.

3. I have ALWAYS been put off by Friedman, but I thought it was just me, cuz
he is on these shows a lot as a 'liberal' voice. He makes my skin crawl; he's a smug and self-righteous know it all.

2. they recite stale invalid memes
Edited on Sun Jan-25-09 07:26 PM by 90-percent
These people are such ignorant ill informed asshats.

There may be some at gitmo that cut off heads and put the video on the internet, but most of them are poor sheepherders rounded up in a bounty driven dragnet so some others could claim the US rewards for turning in "terrorists"

Gleeful that Barack left himself "the jack baur option"

what the fuck? torture don't work according to the experts.

I would be embarrassed to broadcast my ignorance on network tv like these jerks.

4. Another reason 9/11 MUST be investigated
It's like saying Mexico attacked us on Pearl Harbor. To say that 9/11 doesn't need another look is like saying the DNA that can set the guy on death row free isn't worth looking at again. We are after the wrong people. We've killed the wrong people. Let's get the right people behind bars. I know where they can find one of the terrorist. He lives in Texas. The Mastermind is in an disclosed location.

5. the panel of the wrong
I don't know who the woman is, but Gregory should point out to his audience that Steven Hayes still claims there are WMDs in Iraq, and that Tom Friedman has argued that WMDs are irrelevant, that Iraq is a war of choice, but in his judgement the right choice. Well, a war of choice is a war crime, known as an "aggressive war", so Gregory should inform his listeners that Tom Friedman wants his president to committ war crimes. Seems crucial to what they're talking about.

8. It'd be too hard to edit out the laughs and the constant "YOU SUCK!"s.
