      Savage clearly has no idea how the American justice sustem works. What a buffoon.

        If that's the case perhaps we should start with trying Bush and Cheney for causing the death of 4300+ American soldiers.

          Since Congress authorized the war would you include all those who voted for it also?

            It wasn't Congress who lobbied to get the bill passed using underhanded tactics. Congress is merely guilty of being lazy and gullible.

      Savage: Holder should be tried for KSM decision; lawyers who defend KSM should be jailed, sent to Yemen


      Yesterday, Mikey Weiner -- who has no degree in psychiatry -- claimed Obama has "deep-seated psychological problems" . . .

      Today, Mikey Weiner -- who has no law degree -- thinks the USAG should be tried for doing his job of prosecution.

      More proof that, if you're a wingnut radio screamer, no actual knowledge of the subject you're screaming about is desired or required . . .

        This is an argument we really need to hammer down. Conservatives would ask us these questions for opposing the Iraq war.

      MIchael Weiner should be sent to Yemen and dropped off on a street corner with a sign around his neck that says "Death to Islam".

      Oh jeez. Nothing like loving America, as long as you do what it wants you to do. Mike, don't you think that what makes America great is our justice system? I mean, it ain't perfect, but it's pretty much the best in the world. It's (most of the time) fair, and equal. Everyone has the right to defend themselves in court, against their accusers. I'm pretty sure what you're talking about is something more along the lines of a dictatorship.

      What are you going to try Holder on? What charge? He hasn't broken any laws. And what about the person, or team that is going to defend KSM? What have they done that is illegal? Again, nothing.

      Michael Wiener-Savage is a piece of pond scum!

      He and many of his listeners are not even worthy to be the dirt on the bottom of my shoe!

      How dare he make such an un-American, un-Constitutional claim!

      To blatantly disregard the Constitution in such a way proves beyond doubt that Michael Savage has absolutely no love for the very nation which allows him to spew his hate!

      Reprehensible!

      America is a nation of laws!

      We cannot pick and choose who gets justice and who get detained and tortured and expect to get away with it!

      I'm guessing here (I think I'm pretty close to the truth) but I think the reason these right-wing mouth-pieces are so up in arms about the possibility that some of these men are going before a US court is because deep down they know that many of them are in fact innocent!

      No, not KSM, for he is guilty. But for the couple hundred men we have stashed away at Gitmo, I tend to believe that many of those people are innocent! The only way we will know for sure is if we give then their day in court!

      And that is the root problem, for if any of those men are proven to hve been innocent all along and yet we held them without charge and tortured them... then Bush/Cheney and their collection of thugs who followed them will in fact be known for the criminals they are!

      So from where I see it, these right-wing punks would rather try and sweep all these criminal acts under the rug instead of having to be shown that America (certain under Republican leadership) is not the beacon of light we all wish she could be!

      Obama and Holder are at least trying to change all that... slowly to be sure, but unlike Bush/Cheney... at least they are trying to do the right thing!

      Hey, Mikey, we are not at "war" which must be declared by Congress after a Presidential request (last declared war-1941.) And they can't really be tried by military tribunals, because they weren't soldiers. The Bush Administration made that determination soe they wouldn't be covered by the Geneva Conventions, but if you want to put the Bush Adminstration on trial for that, I don't really have a problem. I always thought that placing someone on trial in an open court with real legal representation was what American justice was all about. Defendants are entitled to legal representation, that is legally bound to give them a zealous defense. But, hey, I guess in your U.S., the lawyers who step up to the law are criminals, too. Maybe you need to go back and take a civics class and learn about how wonderful the American Judicial System really is. But, hey, I'm a liberal, what do I know?

      Question for Mikey Wiener and his wingnut supporters -- well, two actually:


      1) How many more, and 2) which ones?

      That is, how many more of OUR rights do WE have to give up so that the Iraqis/Afghans can be free and terrorists can be brought to justice -- and which ones are next?

      I only ask because, it seems every time we learned of some right or liberty the Bush misAdministration steamrolled in the name of "fighting the War on Terror [tm]", whether it was being wiretapped without permission, having the writ of habeas corpus suspended, or the president having the SOLE power to declare martial law in case of a national "emergency" {and the sole power to determine what constituted said "emergency"}, we were told it was necessary, because "we're at war."

      So, how many more? It used to be, we wouldn't let ourselves be wiretapped without a warrant, we didn't torture {either here or offshore}, and we believed in trial by jury for the accused.

      Oh, but since the War on Terror [tm] began, FOX, hate radio, and their sheeple followers have not only told us that's all passe -- they QUESTION THE PATRIOTISM of anyone who thinks otherwise.

      How much more of the Constitution and the Bill of Rights has to get gutted for us to win this War on Terror[tm]?

      And which ones go next? Is it the right to bear arms? {Good luck trying to push that one . . .}

        Little did we realize that when GWB was 'bringing freedom to the Iraqis', he was exporting ours.

        [Well, some kind of figured that would happen, but they were dismissed as 'un-American']
