If something like that happened in England there would be a big backlash from the press. Admittidly the left wing press mostly, but it would make the situation into something where at the very least elaborations on comments so extreme would be demanded.

 

Owt like that happen with the US press? Not a great deal it would seem :(

It's still early days: the left-leaning papers have written editorials about it. More interestingly, the defense department is already distancing itself from his interview:


Given that he's pissed off a number of lawyers who believe they are acting out of principle and in defense of the constitution, and concerned the entire legal profession who see his comments as a threat to the principle of representing clients Pro Bono, I think he may be in for a bit more stick before it blows over.

Serve the fucker right.

How can that Government have the brass balls to be so blantant in it's disregard for human rights, it's own laws and civil liberties?

 

I'm astounded.

Well that's something I suppose. It does seem rather stupid as well as plain nasty though. And very "Four legs good, two legs better".
