One of my favorite aspects of videosift are the substantive debates that usually occur in the comments. I actually hear well thought out reasoned points to which I can disagree civilly. By answering a reporter's questions you agree to their framing of the issues. If your book is to point out how totalitarian states arise you have nothing to gain by using your four minutes to discuss an alternative to Guantanomo. That's not what her book is about and she gains nothing by going down that path.

WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE. Life is not like 24. How many military interrogators do you need to tell you that torture is counter-productive before you realize that opposing torture IS PATRIOTIC. I don't oppose torture because Susan Sarandon & Rosie O'Donnell say it's bad. I think it's a bad idea because the military says it delivers us shitty intelligence.

Intelligence so shitty that if we are to believe that the government acted in good faith in the runup to Operation: Iraqi Freedom that it directly caused us to be there. Much of that misinformation was obtained by torture. Why is everyone who opposes this shit supposed to go on TV & explain the last 6 years in minute detail. I can't keep track of all the malfeasance off the top of my head. I need a fucking pocket guide to fully and accurately detail the lies, various misdeeds, innocent people tortured, and counterproductive strategies employed.

I for one am tired of dealing with two sets of facts. I can handle a completely diametrical position, even on Fox News, but I can't handle two completely different versions of reality. Especially when the jingoistic, faux-patriotic version is not only so dangerous to citizens, it SIMPLY DOESN'T WORK. Why bother torturing people if you haven't even secured the borders? The bullshit neocon argument isn't even fucking safe. What use is increasing electronic surveillance if you don't have the manpower with the language skills to analyze the data? FUCK THE SHEEPLE WHO ALLOW THESE DANGEROUS SYCOPHANTS TO SCARE YOU.
