1. He is good.

I like how he turned the last question around. He said we should not help the enemy by making the world sympathize with them because of our mistreatment of detainees.

[ET Awful]

2. LMAO . . . You have to love O'Lielly trying to tell GENERAL Clark

about how the military works :)

[yorgatron]

3. what i would've liked to have seen was

Gen.Clark smacking that stupid son-of-a-bitch upside the head...

[whistle]

4. Bill O'Lielly up to his normal distortions and spinning no-spin.....

...I would have loved to hera Clark say, "Well Bill, when you put the make on young women workers, what tactic do you find works best, one filled with honey or one laced with vinegar?" Seems like it takes $2 million to shut the victims up.

Bill O'Reilly, Producer Settle Harassment Suit
Fox Host Agrees to Drop Extortion Claim

By Howard Kurtz
Washington Post Staff Writer
Friday, October 29, 2004; Page C01

Bill O'Reilly settled a sexual harassment lawsuit by his former producer last night, ending what he called a "brutal ordeal" without an apology.

The Fox News talk show host also agreed to drop his extortion suit against Andrea Mackris and her attorney, Benedict Morelli, according to a statement by O'Reilly's lawyer. The deal likely involves payment of millions of dollars to Mackris, since the two sides were discussing an offer of well over $2 million when negotiations broke down, say sources close to O'Reilly. Both parties agreed to keep the details confidential, according to the statement.

O'Reilly told viewers, in language cleared by the lawyers, that there was "no wrongdoing in the case whatsoever by anyone" -- and appeared to dispute, without specifically doing so, some of the lurid details of what Mackris alleged were phone-sex conversations between them. "Please do not believe everything you hear and read," he said on "The O'Reilly Factor."

5. "Please do not believe everything you hear and read,"

and that's the whole basis for his ridiculous show. Pompous asshat.

6. That's half the interview

Mark says the first half will be up sometime today.

But on this topic. Please, every DUer, sign Gen. Clark's demand for an investigation into the Bush Administration's role in prisoner abuse.

Stop Blaming the Troops - Investigate the Real Culprits of Abuse

The time has come to investigate the Bush Administration's role in the prisoner abuse and humiliation that has motivated our enemies in the war on terror and endangers the well-being of our fighting forces.

Today, the reports of abuse and humiliation at detainment facilities in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Cuba are distracting the world from focusing on winning the war on terror. Although the military chain of command seems to have properly investigated the role of its personnel and held accountable those in the wrong, the civilian leadership in this country has failed to do the same.

Call on Senate Armed Services Chairman John Warner to investigate the Bush Administration's role in prisoner abuse now!

For generations, the United States has been a powerful voice of moral authority in the world. After World War II, we led the world in creating the Geneva Conventions and prosecuting war criminals at Nuremberg, and later became one of the first nations to ratify the Convention Against Torture. Even today, Slobodan Milosevic is being tried for war crimes thanks to a U.S.-led NATO air strike against his brutal campaign of ethnic cleansing in the Balkans.

Unfortunately, the Bush Administration has squandered our legacy of moral leadership.
