Jennifer Daskal, has written that any terrorist not charged with a crime “should be released from Guantanamo’s system of indefinite detention” even though “at least some of these men may … join the battlefield to fight U.S. soldiers and our allies another day.

If they are not charged with a crime even though the Army has had years to prepare a case then why are they being held?

” even though “at least some of these men may … join the battlefield to fight U.S. soldiers and our allies another day.

What a dick after being held in prison for years many of these guys even the, especially the innocent ones very well might join the terrorists? Why because we held them in Prison. Innocent people tend to get angry about stuff like that.
Bush created these possible terrorists send them home give them monthly checks tell them the checks stop when they die. Hopefully providing for their families will win out over thoughts of revenge.

Howard Kurtz suggests Fox’s “news programming” is balanced and the Washington Post’s editorial page is liberal:

Howard is a Fake Liberal, Fake Moderate etc.

Howard Kurtz: Because some say a distinction must be made between Fox’s opinion shows (O’Reilly, Beck, Hannity) and its news programming. Just as you have to make a distinction between The Post’s news pages and its left-leaning editorial page.

Featuring Howard Kurtz, Reliable Sources reviews the coverage of the news stories of the past week by the media, in addition to news about the news media behind the scenes, all with a constantly changing group of online, print, and broadcast journalists.

Jane Akre and her husband Steve Wilson are former employees of Fox-owned-and-operated station WTVT in Tampa, Florida. In 1997, they were fired from the station after refusing to knowingly include false information in their report concerning the Monsanto Company’s production of RBGH, a drug designed to make cows produce more milk. They successfully sued under Florida’s whistle-blower law and were awarded a US $425,000 settlement by jury decision. However, Fox appealed to an appellate court and won, after the court declared that the FCC policy against falsification that Fox violated was just a policy and not a “law, rule, or regulation”, and so the whistle-blower law did not apply.[1]
The court agreed with WTVT’s (Fox) argument “that the FCC’s policy against the intentional falsification of the news – which the FCC has called its “news distortion policy” — does not qualify as the required “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102.[...] Because the FCC’s news distortion policy is not a “law, rule, or regulation” under section 448.102, Akre has failed to state a claim under the whistle-blower’s statute.”[2]

My Bold Howard heads *vomit* Reliable Sources on CNN and has worked as a reporter. Tell me how can Howie draw a distinction between Fox News and opinion shows like O’Reily when Fox News argued for AND WON the right to lie on its news casts?
Tell me Howie what is the difference between Opinion and News if they are both lies that follow a pattern of always hurting Dems, and building up the GOP with Hate?

Some contend that Kurtz is biased to the right, in particular that his coverage of the blogosphere selectively ignores extremism on right-wing blogs.[5] These critics often note the fact that he, like Democratic strategist James Carville, is married to a Republican consultant and commentator. Eric Alterman, a liberal journalist, wrote, “It is hard to avoid the conclusion, based on examination of his work, that Howard Kurtz loves conservatives but has little time for liberals.”[6]

Howie is the first married guy who’s wife is mentioned but her name appears no where in his wiki. This is strange.

Mary Matalin James Carville her wiki mentions her husband by name http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mary_Matalin

Andrea Mitchell maried to Greenspan marriage Alan’s name mentioned in wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andrea_Mitchell

Campbell Brown Dan Senor wife mentioned in wiki I included a bit about Dan incase new readers did not know who he was.

Following the 2003 invasion of Iraq, Senor served as Chief Spokesperson for the Coalition Provisional Authority in Iraq and as Senior Advisor to Ambassador L. Paul Bremer. Senor was one of the first civilians to enter Baghdad from Kuwait, less than two weeks after the fall of Saddam Hussein.[2]

Howard Kurtz Sheri Annis no mention in his wiki of his wife’s name but mentions he is married. No wiki for her and the first online bio I find for her there is no mention she is married.

Sheri Annis is a media consultant and political commentator whose clients range from California to Washington DC. She was the spokeswoman for Arnold Schwarzenegger during his first political campaign. She was chief spokeswoman for California’s Proposition 227, the successful measure to eliminate California’s failed bilingual education programs. In addition, she played a major role in California’s Proposition 209 campaign, which eliminated race and gender-based preferences in government hiring, contracting and education. Her early career began in the California think tank world.

Howie some reporters might wonder just what are you trying to hide? Maybe that your wife is Evil? Maybe that you have some obvious conflicts of interest reporting on some stories? Maybe your both thinking divorce?

Given that Enron had meetings with Darth about energy policy before Enron turned out the lights in California and the GOP was already with a recall the Governor drive and Howie’s wife ended up working for Arnold

At issue were what Kurtz called the actor’s “past” comments to Esquire and Entertainment Weekly. (Schwarzenegger was interviewed in the July 2003 Esquire, and EW’s July 11, 2003 edition.) Blonde women are some- times smarter than they look, Schwarzenegger told Esquire. During the filming of Terminator 3, he relished shoving a female co-star’s head into a toilet, he told EW. “How many times do you get to get away with this–to take a woman, grab her upside down, and bury her face into a toilet bowl? I wanted to have something floating in there.”

Kurtz kicked off the conversation on CNN by mentioning the toilet remark. “That doesn’t sound like a serious campaign issue,” he told his all-male panel. “Are these kinds of past statements in entertainment interviews, where you’re having a little bit of fun, are they going to get him in trouble?” Kurtz asked. “I think people in California understand the context of those things,” replied the Washington Post’s Paul Fahri.

Howard your in the bag for the GOP aren’t you?

Thiessen would have made a good Nazi in Hitler’s SS. The right is completely off the rails – down to demagoguery, vigilantism and outright mob rule.

The WaPo thinks progressives’ respect for factual information means we’re captive customers. Time to prove them wrong.

If you really want to keep America safe speedy fair trials for terrorists would be the way to do it this policy only creates terrorists. Its the exact opposite of what the Founding Fathers wanted.

They have radicalized themselves.

I’m convinced that the right’s takeover of the corporate media–the creation of their nonstop slime machine–has done little more than radicalize the right.

Hearing their own drivel repeated over and over again is like being steeped in their own juices. It’s having a “pickling effect” on their psyches.

Just a theory to explain why the right keep getting crazier. Who would have thought that badmouthing liberals and Democrats 24/7 could possibly backfire?

The rule of law means keeping our own laws, no surprise that if we violate it ourselves then others will too. The CIA particularly knows this, they get the treatment we dole out, if they’re apprehended.

And on Countdown last night, there is a hilarious interview of Ken (pantysniffer) Starr that he uses to insist that because he defended business interests doesn’t mean that coathanger court’s Chief Justice Roberts really adores them… surrrre.

The rule of law means keeping our own laws, no surprise that if we violate it ourselves then others will too. The CIA particularly knows this, they get the treatment we dole out, if they’re apprehended.

The CIA lost some agents in Afghanistan recently they are finding out the hard way they are not untouchable.

Prisoners of war have a right to habeas corpus and civilian trials, the Constitution [Article I, Sec. 9] says so. And in any case, most of the prisoners at Gitmo aren’t criminals. They are freedom fighters defending their land against imperialists. We shouldn’t be detaining them. We should be helping them like we did in the 80s

One man’s action hero is another man’s TRAITOR/ MURDERER.
They are the domestic enemies, wrapped in the flag, telling us what their racist reading of their bible allows them to do.
This guy likes the snuff films and the traitors who made and acted in them.

Good morning, pups. It’s Brooks, Cohen and Herbert today. Bobo is being even worse than usual today. He’s produced a fetid mess called “The Emotion of Reform,” in which he gurgles that the Democrats’ passion for expanding health coverage has swamped their less visceral commitment to reducing debt. The result is a bill that is fundamentally imbalanced. I’m too furious to even swear at him. I don’t have words strong enough. Mr. Cohen is in Helsinki, and sends us “Gone, Solid Gone” in which he says at heart, Barack Obama is not an Atlanticist but a member of the post-Western world. Europe needs to get over America and discover itself. Mr. Herbert addresses “The Source of Obama’s Trouble.” He says Democrats, who seem to be on a relentless quest to pass a health care bill, don’t seem to grasp the issue truly important to Americans: jobs. Actually, Bobby, the source of Obama’s trouble is a Senate with 300 bills in a logjam that the Republicans are delighted to have created.

Here they are.

The coffee, tea and hot chocolate are ready, and I’ve got bagels and cream cheese this morning. I’m going to go an get a second up of tea and try to get over my rage at Bobo. Have a great day.

“Actually, Bobby, the source of Obama’s trouble is a Senate with 300 bills in a logjam that the Republicans are delighted to have created.”

It’s all about cancelling out any attempt to do their jobs, especially when it entails serving public interests. Wish the media would tell a few of the truths instead of parroting winger talking pts.

Good morning all.

… any terrorist not charged with a crime “should be released from Guantanamo’s system of indefinite detention” even though “at least some of these men may … join the battlefield to fight U.S. soldiers and our allies another day.”

In fact, every person not imprisoned MAY “join the battlefield to fught U.S. soldiers.” What’s to stop them? Absolutely Nothing! It’s horrible that we put our troops at such risk.

Herbert’s column is the source for the Q on WJ.

You are in favor of detaining everyone who might wind up on a battlefield? how about potential criminals, isn’t that called urban renewal?

re Thiessen:

Why would anyone ever admit that he was responsible for the tragic ridiculosity that tumbled out of the mouth of W?

I see “former Bush speechwriter” on a resume, my one-word reply is “Next!”

Thought crimes.

Hope I look good in stripes.

The evidence before the court is incontravertable, there’s no need for the jury to retire.

Mr. Thiessen:

Should we hold those who may be innocent indefinitely, such persons have family and friends who are aware of what has happened to them by the hands of the US. Stories like this spread through a community and a region creating an awareness of the injustice at the hands of the US. Thus, some of these family members and friends may “… join the battlefield to fight U.S. soldiers and our allies another day” in order to bring justice for their “disappeared” family member.

My guess is, should a foreign nation start detaining and locking up innocent US citizens; the family and friends of such citizens would join the fight to get their loved one back.

Mr. Thiessen, your view is even more radical and dangerous because it does not uphold the rule of law. Additionally, your view serves to keep on drawing more and more to terrorist causes against the US exponentially.

Should a Presidential speech writer-jouranlist, who advocates holding terrorists indefinitely, knowing their detention will recruit family members and friends who may go on to kill Americans, have any role in setting or speaking about U.S. detention policy? My hunch is that most Americans would say no.

Do other Presidential speech writers-journalists in question hold similarly radical and dangerous anti rule of law and anti American views?

See, there are other American and rule-of-law views, Mr. Thiessen.

Swim is up…

exactly -

“any terrorist not charged with a crime” is defined as anyone that is alive since you can call anyone a terrorist with no proof.

Using the word “terrorist” without the word “proven” makes the Marc Thiessen comment stupid and dangerous to our liberty.
