      I guess this was not a good time to ask Dick Cheney about his False Statements to Federal Prosecutors.

      I can't wait for Hannity to ask Cheney that one.

      Hannity interviewing cheney is a joke in itself. Why not just get bush to interview cheney? That would be just as hard-hitting.

      That unshaven T-shirted bed-head guy, he's being tried in an open and public forum for one reason: so that the American people can finally see that this character had no participation in the hijacking of those planes on September 11 2001.

      Why is that so important, and why are Cheney and hannity and every other crooked Republican stooge against such an open and public hearing?

      Because they think that they can ride off into the sunset, leaving you under the false impression that the Bush administration got justice for the attacks of September 11 2001 (and that false impression could never have been created, unless the Bush administration kept these various Afghani and Pakistani idiots out of any public Court or other public proceeding, and hidden away on a military installation in Cuba of all places).

      That's it, that's why these various bums and idiots were kept in Cuba all this time, so that absent any public inspection of their supposed complicity in 9/11, Bush and Cheney et al could make the false claim they had participants in those attacks, and that they were getting justice for the American people.

      That's what they're so afraid of, that's why their backs are so up on this issue.

      Expect this: these same people (Bush and Cheney and every single stooge and minion they can dig up) are going to make every effort they can to confound and mess up these Court hearings, and turn these public proceedings into a crazy and senseless fiasco... you watch!

      They're already trying to force lawyers into the matter as uninvited supposed advocates for the bed-head guy, for the reason of making a crazy and confused case on his behalf... but that in truth won't be the reason the trial will become a senseless fiasco, it'll have to require the Judge's participation... they'll have to seat a Judge who will allow the hearings to go off course and get out of hand... and under that cover of confusion, the Bush and Cheney administration hope to preserve the false impression they have planted in the minds of a minority of Americans, that justice was gotten by them for the attacks of September 11 2001.

      You watch.

      [And as a side note: don't even talk to me about this unshaven T-shirt guy's "rights", or that I'm siding with or sympathetic to a 'detainee'... I couldn't give a dang about the idiot's "rights", or whether he was tortured or even tortured to death, or whether he gets his day in Court... it's all about the American people getting this out in the open and in public, and knowing that Bush and Cheney et al never got a single conspirator or participant for the attacks of 9/11, and never got justice for that day's victims... that's what it's all about to me, and it's about nothing else.]

        I fear that we'll never know the truth about what really happened on 9/11. I'm not talking necessarily about all the various conspiracy theories, but who really was behind the attacks and why the degree of Saudi involvement was never really explored.

        The Kennedy assassination was 46 years ago, and there are still unanswered questions swirling around that event. 9/11 will probably be the source of speculation from now on.

          I suspect that in their attempts to confuse and frustrate these public proceedings, Cheney and his many minions and stooges (some of whom will be planted as participants in those proceedings) will advance every strange theory or conspiracy they can, about the attacks of September 11 2001.

          Example: there will be all sorts of crazy nonsense about "Bush and his cronies did it", or "it was an inside job" (they love that one and that word, "inside job"), etc.

          But that's all just smoke and distraction, the only true question that can be asked and answered in these hearings are "what actual and material role did the bed-head guy play in the attacks of September 11 2001?"

          And the true answer to that question is none.

          But Cheney et al do not want such an answer to ever cross the minds of Americans, because then they will naturally follow that up with the question "well just who the falk did finance and support those nineteen guys who hijacked those four planes that day?"

          Random facts: the nineteen hijackers, they all lived for at least two months in the U.S. before the awful day in question, some for more than a year... how did they support themselves, how did they pay apartment leases, how did they fly around the world, oftimes first class, without any visible means of support whatsoever? How did the several hijackers who took jumbo jet flying lessons pay the more than ten thousand dollars each for those lessons?

          Those questions are asked by me here, for the purpose of pointing out that some bed-head unshaven T-shirt idiot from Pakastan did not provide those hijackers with the hundreds of thousands of dollars they spent in the year or so leading up to September 11 2001.

          Those hijackers had substantial financial and other material support here in the U.S., while they were here... the bed-head guy had never been to the U.S., so how can he be an accomplice in those attacks?

          Anyway, I'm sure you get the gist of what I saying.

          Those are all good questions, and there are many more too, but to ask them in public is not what Cheney and Bush and their many media hacks and minions want to see... they want the false impression that some Pakastani idiot they caught in an early morning raid (that's what you get for sleeping in you bed-head idiot), he was the "mastermind" (another of their favorite words).

          Yeah, right.

          The only true investigation of the attacks of September 11 2001 was conducted by the Congressional Joint Inquiry (the combined Senate and House Intelligence Committees), and their Official Report concluded that members of the saudi 'royal' family financed and directed the attacks of that day... and as you know, George W. Bush suppressed and blacked out the 28 page Conclusion to that Report ("redacted" that Conclusion, another of their favorite intentionally vague words).

          And the Conclusions of that JCI Report has still not been declassified.

          I'd trade a million bed-head unshaven T-shirt idiots for the single declassification of the Conclusion of the JCI's Official Report.

          But instead we have this Pakistani idiot who had no participation in the attacks of September 11 2001, we have him, thanks to Bush and Cheney and their kind, and we have no real justice for 9/11, only the false and unshaven appearance of it.

      Hannity asks Cheney if KSM will be tried in NYC because Obama "doesn't believe there's a war on terror"

      Hannity should ask Chaney if he should be tried in NYC because of what he and his boss did while in office. Oh I forgot Chaney is marketing his BS book for people to buy and what better way to market the book then by letting Hannity kiss his A$$! He should be in jail along with his boss.

      Sean Klannity, the greatest liar of our time is feeding another liar, Trick Cheney leading questions knowing he will use the opportunity to T-off on the President.
      It amazes me that Cheney, who should be on trial for war crimes, is out there attacking the President when he helped create the problem Obama is trying to clean up. Cheney and fellow Republicans are totally shameless. They act as though their eight years in power was text-book successful.
      Cheney should be more concerned about an criminal investigation into his illegal use of torture.
      These questions by Hannity are meant to allow his guest to T-off on the President, just like the Rush Limbaugh interview. Sean is about as devious as they come; always looking for an excuse to criticize and undermine this President.
      Hannity despised this President without cause, other than the color of his skin. This can not be stated enough, because this is the explanation behind his persistence.
      Sean and Glen Beck vowed on the air they will bring down this administration, yet these devils somehow keep their jobs. This is treason folks, no matter how you look at it.
      I also believe Fox News' constant criticism and attacks on this President is meant to lead some want-a-be hero to assassinate the President (you can't put it beyond them).
      Tell me how can American citizens (Fox News's Glen Beck and Sean Hannity) use the airwaves as a platform to "bring down this administration".
      These guys are un-American, dangerous.... and they appeal to the lowest form of man (Tea Baggers, Birthers and the mobs who are easily led by demagoguery).

          * John Gotti
          * Anthony 'Nino' Gaggi

      Why doesn't President Obama want to use the phrase "War on Terror?"

      Because it's a basic military concept that you work to divide and not unite your enemy.

      Experts in the field have pointed out those who are against the United States are fighting us for a wide variety of reasons. We can either exploit those very important differences or ignore them at our peril.

      Sheer "Am i An Idiot?" InSannity wants to portray our President as weak, so he harps on this "issue" without understanding it. And he continues to make himself a bigger fool in the process.

      Finally, since InSannity actively campaigned for Mr. Cheney (somehow he forgot to mention that during this informercial) who would expect anything except softball questions?
