Olbermann Special Comment on Suspension of Habeas Corpus

[gvloanguy]

This applies more today to Obama than anyone can imagine.

[TruthInjector]

John P Wheeler was just murdered by the Obama administration, his body thrown in a landfill. He was the Special assistant to the Secretary of the Army. He tried to expose obamas decision to retain and use phosgene on Afghans. Obama ordered high tech crop dusrers loaded with phosgene to be sent to Afghanistan from the base in Arkansas. Twice in as many days 2 planes released phosgene killing over 100,000 birds,fish and animals as they experienced faulty mechanisms.

Olbermann kept us "sheeples" awake, taught us critical thinking, and informed us about the continuing corruption in this country. To take him off the air was about to happen, his 'personal donations' were just used as an excuse. We're doomed. Get a job at Real t.v. Keith, that's where you belong, don't ever work for the Corporate Media again please, you're too good!!! I'll miss you....

@josgvis  KETH IS BATHTUB BOY

[ConservativeLogic]

Keth needs to file a writ of HC for his show.

[whisperingsage]

And now Obama retains this power, and if we have any presidents after this, they will too. And of we are their enemies, they will make us disappear. Don't forget to look up the Georgia Guidestones, the makers of which declare that the population of the world must be "maintained" at half a billion. How many must die for that to occur?

[ajgolfer1]

Yes but enemy combatants are suposed to be freed when a war is declared over under the geneva convention, and we have held aljezzera press members which is also against, and habeous corpus HAS been suspended for all citizens under the most recent executive order.

[UncleIrv]

Olbermann is just a left-wing propagandist. One mark of propaganda is the subtle obfuscation of the truth through the use of false premises. Listen carefully, people:

ENEMY COMBATANTS HAVE NEVER POSSESSED A RIGHT OF HABEAS CORPUS.

Not under any president. Not ever in history. Never.

To say that Bush is "eliminating" Habeas Corpus is blatant deception. YOU CAN'T ELIMINATE SOMETHING A PERSON NEVER HAD. Case closed.

[ManonFire57]

What you are not accounting for is the fact that Habeas Corpus extends to the citizenry of the United States. That is to say, people like YOU AND I AND ALL YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS AND FAMILY. You are revealing the depths of your own idocy by commenting in such a manner. "To say that Bush is 'eliminating' Habeas Corpus is a blatant deception" is no deception at all. It is the truth.

[ManonFire57]

Habeas Corpus was NOT designed to defend the rights of enemy combatants or prisoners of war but to PROTECT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE from an overly powerful government capable of doing the things i previously listed with impunity.

[ManonFire57]

With the bill President Bush signed into action YOU YOURSELF (or anyone reading this for that matter) COULD BE PICKED UP AND DETAINED INDEFINITELY WITH NO RIGHT TO COUNCIL (meaning no right to a lawyer),NO RIGHT TO TRIAL,AND TORTURED UNTIL NEAR DEATH CONTINUOUSLY BY OUR OWN GOVERNEMNT.

[emerica5502]

you are fucking retarded no offense. we are talking about AMERICAN citizens, not enemy combatants lololol. bush eliminated it all together, and you're even more retarded, since we HAVE allowed enemey combatants habeas corpus... ever heard of a war trial? go edumicate urself

[UncleIrv2]

You are the "fucking retard."

ENEMY COMBATANTS have always fallen under the control of MILITARY LAW--as originally codified into the constitution by the founding fathers. "Habeus Corpus" is a concept of CIVIL LAW. It has no recognition under military law.

Go "edumicate" yourself, asshole.

[Damian007a1]

I can tell you now, The rest of the world is worried about Bush and the American country. It's a shame to see whats happening. Hopefully, the Democrats can do something to turn this around but, I think you'll find that's it's gone too far. I'm surprised that Bush didn't make up or invoke some law to stop the Democrats achieving what they did..Good Luck America, You're gonna need it..

[Jcolinsol]

@Damian007a1

Your comment looks mighty ironic about now.

[ckthomps]

What times we live in where the only journalistic oversight comes from a comedy news show, and the only journalist to provide true American moral guidance in the likes of Murrow and Cronkite comes from a former sports caster on an obscure cable news show. Olberman is a true patriot, but it's very sad that there are so few that even compare.

[lavajin]

Keith Olbermann is a real Patriot. Expect him to be one of the first to "disappear".

[sheikhyerbouti234]

For sure. Olbermann is a national treasure.

[ongakunotenshi]

Amen brother.
