Here’s what CNN’s Glenn Beck had to say about the latest Gitmo ruling:
Beck: “This court has done some frightening. frightening things….If I’m president of the US, I would go on National television and say—’ladies and gentlemen, the Supreme Court said that we don’t have Gitmo so that is over. We’re going to release all of them, but I want you to know from here on out our policy is to not have prisoners. We’re going to shoot them all in the head.’
“If we think they are against us, we’re going to shoot them and kill them—period because that’s the only thing we’ve got going for us—cause we can put them away and get information. If we can’t put them away and they’re going to use our court system—kill them.”
Just another example of the “Liberal Media” for you. But I guess we shouldn’t take Beck too seriously whenever he talks about shooting people. He went on camera talking about how he wanted to kill himself over the pain of the butt surgery he had last year. Not that that was the first time he’s admitted to contemplating suicide. But, hey, it’s not like it’s easy to find a conservative commentator with some sort of respect for human life.
Personally, I think you can’t have it both ways. Either the “War on Terror” really is a war and we have to abide by the Geneva Conventions, or it isn’t a real war, and we have to provide them with a fair trial.
