Thanks for the news none of us would have ever known about. Wait no, it's common sense, not the hardest thing to figure out. OMG it's teh spies on teh internets...Son, just admit she prolly does meth, cause she's so strung out and boring to listen to, no one can follow what she's trying to say. Maybe she didn't respond with facts because facts disprove her wack theory. Maybe she knew what Fox News is, and had no business expecting reasonable people to listen to her meth-induced fantasies. You have been served.

I'm reading this book now, and I thought it was a shame she focused so much on trying to sell the book overall instead of answering the guy's questions.
Secret Prisons? We got none, right?

Remember those CIA rendition flights? They take you wherever in the world they want to torture you. No judge, no jury. Secret until somebody leaks it to the press. They even tried to kidnap a guy in Italy but their gov't found out. At least with the Gulags, everyone knew about them.

I find especially idiotic the question of what to do with these enemy combatants if we can't keep them in Guantanamo forever. Hey, I know, let's have a TRIAL where the gov't shows their evidence and lets the accused defend themselves against the charges. It's likely some people who have been rotting away in Guantanamo for 4 years haven't even been told why they are being held. Imagine living like that because some neighbor who hated you told the visiting US Army that you were a Taliban, and whoops, off you go. Does this situation more closely resemble a democracy or a fascist dictatorship, you tell me?

When she finally gets around to mentioning how the UK and Spain dealt with terrorists(following the law, regular trial), he just interrupts and laughs at her, then poses the question again as if she wasn't answering it. An inattentive viewer would just think she was going off on a tangent and didn't answer the question, being evasive because she can't answer directly.

The surveillance of citizens is the one point that disturbs me most as it affects many more Americans than secret prisons. I would have liked to see how Kasich explains how good this is, and also legal. Another post-9/11 power grab that the public still would not know about if it hadn't been leaked to the press.

The default search doesn't search the Dead Pool as far as I know which is why you wouldn't have seen it.

In reply to this comment by kronosposeidon:
God dang it! I swear I did a search simply using the term "Colbert" and looked through 3 or 4 pages of videos and the dupe did not show up. This is so frustrating.

*discard

Third time (at least) this has been sifted. It is currently in the dead pool at:

http://www.videosift.com/video/Colbert-regarding-the-new-ATT

So this should probably be discarded and the dead pool one fixed.

Sorry, dupe: http://www.videosift.com/video/ATT-charges-CA-fire-victims-for-their-recievers

*UPDATE* After this was featured on DIGG and the consumerist.com, AT&T refunded the price.

So expecting the NSA/ATT to start monitoring my sift posts now.

Arlen Specter's (R-PA) questions were very good (one of them at t-3:50); he is a former district attorney, so it wasn't surprising. But every single one went unanswered, including a question about Constitutional Law in general, and another about a capital punishment death sentence Att Gen Gonzalez signed off on recently (clips from this appear towards the end). It was wild. Sen. Specter was getting upset. Specter noted that he still remembers from his District Attorney days every detail of every capital punishment case he ever signed off on. He earns another gold star for effort in my book.

... again, thats conservative Republican Sen. Arlen Specter I'm talking about. Its not conservative vs. liberal, its American justice system vs. cover-ups.

And keep in mind all these clips are from a single hearing appearance, not from someone hunting around for clips to support a particular position.

I remember this on the sift a while back, it was a casualty of the great Viacom YouTube purge... Here was the original link:

It had a lot of votes that time as well before it died...
