Glenn Greenwald Fails To Convince A Mocking Bill Maher That Afghanistan Should Try U.S. Soldier
VIDEO here: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/glenn-greenwald-fails-to-convince-a-mocking-bill-maher-that-afghanistan-should-try-u-s-soldier/
Bill Maher has been fairly sympathetic in the past to the argument that the war in Afghanistan is a waste of time and lives, but the jump from there to trusting their justice system or those running it is one he proved last night unwilling to jump. Discussing the topic of Staff Sgt. Robert Bales on the online-only “Overtime” segment, Glenn Greenwald suggested Americans should allow Afghans a role in Bales’ punishment, to which Maher scoffed, “What is the compromise, we’re going to plea bargain down from stoning to death?” <SNIP>
