I just very politely and smartly deleted ten spams! They assure me I am the very picture of graciousness....

And that is high praise indeed.

There's a certain etiquette required of all Malloy listeners. If you don't hold with something, you do not say, "Pardon me, but I beg to differ." No. Instead, you say, "Oh, hogsnot!" and then rant outrageously until the next break. So, perfectly acceptable behavior here, rest assured.

Mike Malloy sounds like Brad. What's going on? Also, why does the official Mike Malloy picture look like he's in HELL or something?

I expect a few flames in the background. Maybe put: "MOO HOO HAHAHAHAHAHA" underneath it, the "evil laugh".

COMMENT #32 [Permalink]
... Agent 99 said on 6/23/2009 @ 7:05 pm PT...

I think we've established that maybe half of the hundreds of detainees had any remote business being detained, and about five of them had some semi-okay reason to be held.

Which, we pretty much knew all along, but "nice" to hear the confirmation.

Okay. I just had to barf over that taking everyone without assessing whether they were fog-of-war detainees thing.

In Albania, if you say "the revisionists" everyone knows you're talking about the Americans, Danny. Nowadays, I'm pretty sure calling us "the hypocrites" would do just as well......

When WE kill protesters, it's for "democracy".... Makes it all okay.

In those Bill Maher videos, Maher says he knows Obama's not a liberal because he's on TV. Liberals aren't on TV (like I said): Nader, Kucinich, McKinney, Chomsky...I think Maher lifted that comment from my blog.

Great show! Thanks!

So glad Mr. Worthington talked about the earlier tribunals that the military used to use. There was no reason to not use those treaty-agreed methods to establish prisoners of war. EVERY American needs to know there was a bonafide method to deal with military theater suspected participants. That Bush made up a kangaroo court for his phony prisoners was unacceptable, that the houses of Congress went along was unacceptable, that Obama is continuing these kangaroo courts is unacceptable.

I agree with the caller Arman that this torture policy and the kangaroo court Military Commissions and no habeus corpus all point to an elaborate method to SILENCE PATSIES. Another possible reason would be that the Afghan Pipeline and Operation Iraq Liberation crowd wanted to give the appearance that something was being accomplished in their invasions and rounding up a bunch of innocents gave that impression, as long as they were never tried publicly with the use of evidence.
