John Gibson Glad To See The Law Broken In Order To Torture Prisoners


John Gibson showed his true colors (not that they're ever hidden) today on Big Story when he announced, laughingly, that he's glad the Bush Administration is practicisng the rendition of prisoners to foreign governments who "may" torture them - regardless of the fact that it's forbidden by US law.

-snip-

Napolitano, explained how rendition happens despite the illegality. "The president perceives an immediate need to obtain information, no matter what the consequences or what the legality of the means used to obtain that information so he doesn't do this in public, he just says 'go get this information and if you break the law, you won't be prosecuted so long as I'm president.' Now such an offer or such an executive order is not enforceable.... It's wrong for the president or anyone in the government to be above the law."

Gibson: Yeah (not seriously, can't keep a straight face).

Napolitano, also laughing: It's against the law to break the law, John. Comment: Does this mean Bush broke the law? At the very least he skirted it. What consequences could that bring? Nobody said.

Gibson: I'm glad they're doing it.

1. Hardly a shock.

I've always hated that ass.

2. Don't all Americans support torture now

the Geneva conventions and human rights be damned?

[adigal]

4. Most republicans I know do support torture-

and this bothers me about the USA in 2005 more than anything else. They just really don't care. I think it is because they don't know the history behind the Geneva Conventions and treaties against torture.

3. Hannity on his radio show last week...

He had one of the ACLU lawers who is suing Rumsfeld on his show last week. He basically said that if you don't support the torture of terrorists (didn't really clarify how you know they are terrorists prior to torturing them), you are helping the terrorists.

This falls in line with O'Reilly's claim that the ACLU is a terrorist organization.
