Bill O'Reilly cuts mic of retired Army Colonel Ann Wright

Bill O'Reilly really doesn't like it when intelligent people appear on his show. At every moment that Colonel Ann Wright begins to explain details O'Reilly rudely interrupts her and shouts over her until he eventually cuts off her mic. O'Reilly loudly scrambles words and creates assumptions that muddy the whole "conversation".

It's frustrating to watch, at around the 2.50 mark O'Reilly asks "Is this our(America) fault" and Responds "Not at all". However for the rest of the conversation O'Reilly gets all mad because he still thinks that she is saying it's Americas fault "I'm agreeing with you, we're the evil ones" O'Reilly shouts "No" Wright insists, O'Reilly continues "I agree with you, we're the Evil people". The conversation is all down hill from there. Although O'Reilly believes Iran is "humiliating" the British soldiers the colonel is simply trying to bring up important points about the Geneva convention and how American treat their POW.

A related I found recently by Terry Jones in the Guardian UK. and an actual video of the British Soldiers apologizing and explaining their "humiliating" conditions can be found here.

The banner beneath the Colonel at the beginning read "U.S. Army (Ret.) Col. Ann Wright" changed to "Col.Ann Wright retired from State Dept. in opposition to Iraq war" and ended with "Anti-war activist Col. Ann Wright." Newshounds via virtual matter
