<snip>

INGRAHAM: What do you think would happen to you if you were trying to organize the group that you have now, let's say in Saddam's Iraq or in Iran today? What do you think would happen to you?

BENJAMIN: You'd probably be in jail if I was lucky and maybe dead if I wasn't.

INGRAHAM: So then you would agree, would you not, that the current situation in Iraq, as difficult as it is, is much better for the cause that you say that you represent, which is human rights?

BENJAMIN: I fought against Saddam Hussein when Donald Rumsfeld was there shaking hands and saying this is a guy we can work with. I'm against all dictatorships. I'm against all human rights violations.

2. Could have asked what would happen to LI in today's Iraq...

If she weren't raped and burned beyond recognition or shot for wearing her short skirts or just for appearing on television without coverings, she would be kept out of school and forced to follow whatever version of Islam the man with the biggest stick told her to follow.

4. funny

from the transcript...

BENJAMIN: I fought against Saddam Hussein when Donald Rumsfeld was there shaking hands and saying this is a guy we can work with. I'm against all dictatorships. I'm against all human rights violations.

INGRAHAM: Now that's a John Lennon song. That's not a plan. What's the plan to keep America safe today?

If that's a John Lennon song, then I'm the ghost of Christmas Past. :crazy:

5. Twisting and spinning

how do they come up with these questions? I swear they make my head hurt. Good for Medea, I would hate to be opposite her in a match of wit.
