Um...prisoners of war are enemy combatants.And even O'Reilly can blindly stumble into a poignant question. Maybe the rest of us should be asking more since the average literate American probably has higher odds.
I want to point out that you can bash Fox News and Bill O'Reilly all you want, but he really does know how to be a good journalist. Although he is a clear Republican, and he has a clear bias on his commentary/opinion show, he does know what questions to ask and how to play devil's advocate. He asked some hard questions in his interview, and later when discussing the interview he played devil's advocate against Bush.
There is a chance something will go wrong just like with every method of interogation. It is very unlikely. Waterboarding has been around for a long time. It is very painful but not deadly if done correctly.
You can digg him down, but he is so right. Why do you think these animals deserve the same rights we get? They are killing citizens of our country, why do you want to protect them so much?Some might argue that it is because we (Americans) might be tortured under these same bills. But do you think that if our government wanted to torture us, any bill (with a more clear definition of torture) will really stop them? They are already doing something illegal by torturing a citizen, do you think they'll care about some bill some bureaucrat passed? Some will argue that it puts out troops at risk if they get captured. But really, how many countries do you think truly follow the geneva convention? The United States would be the closest. How many scandals have you seen because other countries are not following the geneva convention or treating their prisoners badly? I have not seen any. Do you think what is happening in our prisons does not happen in other countries? Anyone that does is very naive. The reason we do not see this on our TV is because other countries understand what it takes to win a war. Their people do not make a big deal out of it, so it is not shown on the News, because it is not news. The reason we lost Nam, and are not doing great in Iraq because the American public cannot stomach a war anymore. They cannot understand that there are casulties in a war, and we cannot afford the same rights we afford ourselves to those who do not afford them to us.
Sure he may have asked the hard questions but he didn't get any answers. A good journalist will get the answers as well.Too bad you are blinded and didn't notice that each question was a setup to either a) spout the party line or b) attack the other party.
If Bush has done anything well during his presidency it's the fact that he has managed to completely divide this country as well as the rest of the world!I can't believe anyone listens to this guy! Every time he is questioned he some how manages to throw in an attack on the other party. Does this tool not know that the American people elect politicians and just because they are from the other party he shouldn't be ignoring them? Every time he talks he manages to say, "f**k YOU" to those that aren't affiliated with his political party!Never have I seen such an opportunity to unite the world (and to really fight terrorism), be completely wasted!The decider? More like the divider!
I second Techie1. aaaz you need to get a f**king life! You spread so much BS, accusing people so you can get sympathy and you dupe articles intentionally. aaaz it's pretty obvious watching Digg spy and checking who Dugg your stories. Going through your homepage stories randomly, yes randomly and seeing who Dugg it it's the same group of people! Also watching Digg Spy I see your friends Digging you stories at blazing speeds. Stop the circle jerk, stop telling your Gtalk buddies to Digg your stuff. For a freaking Ivy League grad (If you didn't lie to me) you are are a freaking idiot with no life.

If you can't define torture then how can you say the evidence isn't admissible?
