Glenn Beck – war criminal. Shoot him in the head, after a trial.

I’m sure the Gretch and Douchey were in complete agreement, provided they were on and also provided that we brutally torture first.

C’mon Glenn. We waterboard for a short spell then we shoot. ;)

How ironic, considering that the Taliban is probably most infamous for their shocking public execution in a soccer stadium where the poor soul was shot in the head.

How about we shoot ‘em to death, then waterboard ‘em , then hang ‘em.

“Shoot him in the head.” Hmmm – and isn’t Beckerhead one of those who whined about the Jockstrap Jihadist being Mirandized because he might not talk? Seems a .45 lobotomy would silence someone much more effectively – is he afraid the Taliban leader might reveal what most of us know, Peter Hoekstra and Peter King are actually Al Qaeda operatives? Beckerhead’s stupidity is just more of that overwhelming evidence that the Republicans were/are/will always be weak on national security.

Dopey Beck thinks it was “Al Qaeda number 2 “. The one host tried to correct him, but Beck just kept running his yapper . This is a another example of Beck not knowing specifics, or even caring.

Maybe Beck should borrow his body guards gun and put it in his mouth and pull the trigger!

Beck only a few days ago repeatedly stated Obama was trying to render Congress ‘impudent.’ What a moron.

What is this fraud up to now? Is this the wholesome family values Glenn Beck? Maybe the GB who wears his Christian faith on his sleeve? Perhaps the right wing whack-job GB who believes Obama hates white people? The answer of course is, whatever gets attention at the moment…that’s what frauds do.

Wow, death threats… suggestions of suicide… insults. Man, you guys really do know how to conduct a civil and mature discussion.

What a bunch of winners.

Address the irony, i mentioned in my post, ImNotBlue…

I agree with him. He should be interrogated by any means necessary on the battlefield and then shot. Bush’s mistake was putting these people in Gitmo to begin with. We should hold them in Afghanistan or Pakistan long enough to get everything we need out of them and then kill them. The media should never even know who these people are.

Chris, I totally agree. Politics has no business in war. Bush tried to appease the democrats and look where it got him…

Okay.

I think Beck’s point was with the American people who are frustrated to see their hard earned dollars (in the form of taxes) go towards a long and drawn out show trial. As is the case with KSM, the Obama Administration already said he’ll be found guilty… so many are left wondering, “They why are we willing to spend millions and millions to try this guy, if it’s already a foregone conclusion? Does our system of laws mean that we must ignore common sense, confessions, and irrefutable evidence, for the sake of bureaucracy?”

Beck’s comment expresses the desire of many Americans to “just end it already,” and do what needs to be done, or will eventually be done. The emotional response is true… however, I doubt even Beck would agree with it if it were to be legitimately suggested.

Of course, the main difference is that America and the Taliban are not the same… there is a false equivalency in your original question and assumed irony. The folks captured, have been caught for a reason… that is, American national security, and their desire to kill, or assist in killing, Americans. The Taliban, however, seek to enforce their power, to terrorize their OWN people, for “crimes” which are not criminal acts (ie: homosexuality, disagreement with the Taliban, feminism, etc.). The irony isn’t there… it’s false equivalency.

How’s that?

We should just off them – because they are most likely un-American and guilty of sumpin!

Really, Mr. Nash that’s not what anyone is saying. I know you’re a bit tongue-in-cheek here but cheekiness has its limits.

I find it ironic that people are criticizing Beck here (mostly correctly: see below) when its been the policy of the Obama Administration to, in effect, shoot the Taliban in the head. Only instead of using guns they’re using Predator drone missiles. No habeas rights, no Miranda rights and certainly no Article III rights. Heck, no rights at all.

To be sure, there’s a difference between using “targetted killings” of terrorists that we can’t capture because of their location and executing them after capture (although as I understand it, we have that right). Beck is reckless and I’ll certainly distance myself from such a recommendation.

But the individual captured yesterday is no “un-American guilty of sumpthing.” He’s the no. 2 Taliban and is quite guilty of a wide array of both crimes and war acts.

The Obama Administration is struggling with some of the same questions that the Bush White House had to deal with. But those questions are caused, in my view, by the nature and practice of the enemy and not the nefarity of the “neocons” or those of us yahoos who believe that civilian trials are not warranted for such people.

Thank God we’re not that kind of country. Following your protocol would be a complete, absolute, unconditional, final surrender to the terrorist. We wouldn’t have any of our fundamental principles left. I truly believe we can keep our principles and win this. But, I am not a knee-knocking, urine-puddling coward.

Steve M G, I reluctantly conclude you are probably correct to fault the Obama Administration. He and his advisors seem almost as willing to surrender our fundamental principles as W was.

“I r Glenn Beck, Patriotic, God-lovin’ Murcuhn. So proudly I hail!!” Yup.

Nash? Sorry for the “mental” typo: That would be Mr. Hall not Nash.

Did any of his well-read fans catch that? That’s priceless. Thanks!

Steve M G, I reluctantly conclude you are probably correct to fault the Obama Administration.

I’m not faulting them. I think there are clear legal grounds to use “targetted killing.” The alternative is what? Dropping bigger bombs on them and killing everyone in the vicinity?

I find it interesting that some people say we need to give full Constitutional rights to these individuals while at the same time remaining largely silent while the Obama (and Bush) Administration blows them up.

There’s a kind of disconnect between the two items.

Alas, “but for” the Iraq war of choice, Afghanistan might be nearer resolution and a true center of terrorism rendered “impudent” as I am told Beck says. But, spilled milk …!

I was actually more concerned with out willing surrender of Constitutional rights our of abject fear. That is the greatest tragedy of all.

The other day on his radio show, he said after we catch a terrorist and get everything out of him that we can, we should shoot them in the head and send the body back to their families wrapped in bacon with a note saying we have more bullets and more bacon. I practically fell out of my chair laughing. I couldn’t agree more.

You know, Royal… I was waiting for someone to bring that up. Mainly because I want your take on this:

Feds push for tracking cell phones

Even though police are tapping into the locations of mobile phones thousands of times a year, the legal ground rules remain unclear, and federal privacy laws written a generation ago are ambiguous at best. On Friday, the first federal appeals court to consider the topic will hear oral arguments (PDF) in a case that could establish new standards for locating wireless devices.

In that case, the Obama administration has argued that warrantless tracking is permitted because Americans enjoy no “reasonable expectation of privacy” in their–or at least their cell phones’–whereabouts. U.S. Department of Justice lawyers say that “a customer’s Fourth Amendment rights are not violated when the phone company reveals to the government its own records” that show where a mobile device placed and received calls.

Those claims have alarmed the ACLU and other civil liberties groups, which have opposed the Justice Department’s request and plan to tell the U.S. Third Circuit Court of Appeals in Philadelphia that Americans’ privacy deserves more protection and judicial oversight than what the administration has proposed.

http://news.cnet.com/8301-13578_3-10451518-38.html

Remember when all the lefties were up in arms that Bush wanted to see calls that were coming into the United States from terrorist-friendly areas… and the left screamed that he was “spying on average Amercicans?” Well… what about this? The left-wing President wants to track ALL cell phones, and doesn’t believe that he needs a warrant to do it, and doesn’t believe that we have a “reasonable expectation of privacy” when it comes to the location of our phones. Now THAT sure looks like spying to me! What do you have to say?

Is Obama “willing surrender of Constitutional rights our of abject fear,” too?

INB: I think I made it abundantly clear in my earlier posting that I am greatly concerned and disappointed in President Obama’s willingness to continue the W policy of shredding the Constitution out of fear. Is that clear enough?

Ted,
You should try reading scriptures sometime. You might be surpriesed how many times an evil person was wiped out by God. When I heard this guy was captured, my very first thought was that he’s probably not scared at all because he knows he’s going to be treated well. Given his koran in a nice cell with plenty of good food.

Ah, but this isn’t “continuing” the policy… this is NEW policy. Furthermore, wasn’t it the left who tried to use the whole “spying” BS as a rational for impeaching Bush? Shouldn’t they now call for Obama’s impeachment? Where do you stand on the issue, both previous and present?

“Does that sound like the actions of despotic leaders of yesteryear?”

Without a doubt.

MichelleF – Spoken like a Sunday morning Christian. Who really gives a shit whether or not the guy was “scared?” Answer – you do. Pathetic.

Kudos to “I’m not Blue” and kudzu to roxheady, same2u, and others of that ilk.

There are arguments for quickly dispatching terrorists, e.g. a bullet in the head but one should hope any meaningful information would be first extracted (through any convenient means.)

Conversely, there is no argument for keeping such specimens of human filth in a permanent state of limbo at some offshore locale (e.g. the way the Bush administration has kept KSL, et al) or providing them a forum in some show trial that will ultimately line the pockets of a few friends with the taxpayer picking up the enormous tab, from which they may pontificate on “The Great Satan” after any useful information has been extracted from them. In this scenario, both administrations have behaved and are behaving foolishly.

The smart move for Mr. Bush would have been to dispatch the lot of the terrorists at Gitmo and the smart move for Mr. -0bama would take a reality pill and eat a healthy serving of crow.

After the Spanish-American War, Muslim insurgents in the Philippines were conducting terrorist attacks against US troops. After one of the battles, 50 captured Philippino Muslims were tied to stakes. The US commander had 49 of them shot, buried in a common grave with pig blood and entrails poured over the bodies. He then let the 50th Philippino go back to the people to tell them what he had witnessed…. that every Muslim killed by American forces would be buried with pig blood and entrails poured over them. He also saw the troops dip their bullets in pig blood as they loaded their rifles. Within 4 days of this man’s release the terroist attacks stopped. The moral of this story is……. dip your bullets in pig blood and let the Muslims know you’ve done it. The bastards can’t enter paradise with unclean bodies.

Also a side note, put a pig on every plane, and mass transit vehicle. :)

All of you that think shooting the enemy in the head is unamerican, well you just have not read history of our country, and just are not as evolved or educated as all the well read conservatives. Hows that for a liberal comment.. YOU ARE TOO UNIFORMED, and oh this one, YOU JUST ARE NOT EVOLVED LIKE WE ARE.. or YOU JUST WOULD NOT UNDERSTAND.. ::snickers::
