In this video, Sen. Arlen Specter (R-PA) criticizes activists that stood up in protest at a hearing on the treatment of detainees at Guantanamo Bay prison. The Senate Judiciary Committee is considering whether detainees will have only limited access to habeas corpus review. At the end of the video, Specter stands up, bangs his gavel, and walks out of the hearing.
Anti-war activist Cindy Sheehan can also be seen in attendance at the hearing.
NEW YORK - Political combat pays: "Fox News Sunday" drew its best ratings in nearly three years for this weekend's electric confrontation between former President Clinton and newsman Chris Wallace.
"If theres another 9/11 or a major war in the Middle-East involving a U.S. attack on Iran, I have no doubt that there will be, the day after or within days an equivalent of a Reichstag fire decree that will involve massive detentions in this country."
Just went to YouTube to check it out and yep, I get this when I click on a Clinton/Wallace interview link:

Now, if the neocon bastards really thought the interview was so harmful to Clinton, wouldn't they want to have it seen by as many as possible regardless of the source?

OH MY!

I watched it and I have to say Clinton really kicked ass. I'm not in love with Clinton (although I've been accused of it); I recognize that he was a selfish opportunist and utterly lacking of a moral compass, but he was SMART. He was also slick as hell, and would have totally gotten away with having his cock sucked by Monica if it hadn't been for the damn DNA.
I don't think he was a rapist (he didn't need to be), although he was sleazy as hell in his personal life, and just as selfish in that aspect as in everything else. It is telling that this is the most passionate we've seen him and it is in response to a personal type attack.
But he could sit across the table from Putin and demand respect, not mocking condescension. He could stand in front of the UN and they would listen to him. He didn't go to fucking Yale, either (a huge plus in my book).
He may have been the devil, but no one would have ever said that at the UN rostrum and gotten applause for it. You either liked him or you hated him, but you never pitied him or thought he was someone else's puppet, did you?
This interview got pulled because he looked good and FOX showed its ass.
the law, in its majestic equality, forbids the rich as well as the poor to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal bread.
