The Newsweek Reporter Who Broke the Holder Story

[JinnRikki]

This is bs I should be allowed to decide if a comment is objectionable, not some wingnuts from freeperville.

[trajan74]

Who says neocons like free speech should see this. I agree the rating system sucks.

[sonisisuper]

Did some conservative asshole get a bunch of like-minded buddies and thumb down all the comments?

Friggin' YouTube.

[Fred13B]

It's standard neocon behavior for this site. Odds are, there's only one or two downraters, using lots of aliases. There's one troll in particular, always using the suffix 00815, who revels in this.

[VTC67]

whats with all the thumbs down?

95th comment! thumb me down too!

[maxamojaxamo]

i fucking hate the comment rating system. if someone has something wrong with a comment, tell them why instead of fucking thumbs down. and it hides the comments to which is even worse

[sonisisuper]

Thumbs up to that, brother.

[mot5600]

you can change it so it will still appear even if it is thumbed down, press the options button right next to text comments.

[Dasconscripts]

to un hide the comments just click reply it will reveal it sometimes

[fauxphantom1]

what the fuck is up with all of these comments

[losenotloose]

I'm not sure I understand the title of this video. How do you "break" a story that's essentially a press release? I mean, is the agenda of the Justice Department a secret? No sarcasm, this framing just seems odd to me.

I mean, we've known the Bush administration has been committing crimes for over seven years. Now that we're finally getting around to it, we shouldn't act like the decision to prosecute is something novel. Prosecution should be inevitable

[sonisisuper]

Seems to me if you don't stand for something, you don't stand for nuthin'. Some people talk a mean game about morals and values and are always the first to abandon these things when they become inconvenient. Now they say torture's great - which is fine, but one by one the so-called "moral authority" they claim crumbles till no one cares.

Morals are for children. Stalwart, reasoned, and principled ethics are something you don't just run away from at the first sign of trouble.

[mikehoable]

most intelligent human beings would have no problem with the idea of these butt............... being tortured. life is a once in a lifetime opportunity, once some dirty little nothing takes yours on principle you will realize," F%$K"!!!

[swingingfordearlife]

good god he's not someone to interview. painful

[AJ100885]

this guy was so painful to listen to

ummmm

uhhhhhhh

ya know

ummmmm

....seriously needs to stop and think

[JamesAnderyourstruly]

id be fucking drunk if i took a shot everytime he does that hahaha

well for his defense, hes a journalist

[ddamico3]

there is no left or right. you are a moron. stop drooling you autistic simpletons.

[bobbytiger]

Yawn..........................­........

[passenger9411]

I understand where you're coming from and I'm all for the truth coming. But to say let's do it to ruin Bush's life isn't the best platform to use. I'd say say let's expose the truth so Americans can see how past and present governments really work and if past administrations are exposed because of it then let's prosecute them to the fullest.

[ViLLiSTa]

Why is he speaking with this Nazi propaganda scam artist?

[ViLLiSTa]

Do you know who the owner of Newsweek is?

Do you know the other companies he owns?

subsidiaries, clinched with in your system are not only destroying your country, but your children future. America is the base ground for testing out the control of communism in perfection.

How much Social Security is there left for your children? For you?

With in Nazi Germany there was fake proposition for righteous cause, all to tame the population, and make it seem like press cares.. Remember Watergate?

[ViLLiSTa]

Wow, You think I have time to write a report on how fraudulent corporate media is, and how the owners of them are crooks? get real, if you your self don't know who they are, there is no point on tellying you shit, ur a brained wash idiot. you are the stupid one being lied to.. wake the fuck up, learn the monetary system, and you will know why your life is pathetic.

But what do you know you think come backs are life's pleasures..

Can't even comprehend whats at hand , can't even answer the Q

[ViLLiSTa]

you clearly are retarded... You want a pictures of them wearing nazi fatigue? haha

They are Nazi, they operate like Nazi, with an American fascism..

What I want you to do is find out who owns Newsweek and what other corporation subsidiaries are part of their networks.

This man is a Nazi.. he sells his soul to these devil worshiping monsters..

you need to do research in order to get away from the conclusion others make for you...

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Presedent was set when Nixon wasn't prosecuted. This bullshit about pardoning each other is disgusting. So now we have Bush going beyond Nixon's crimes, if nothing is done, what's next?

[passenger9411]

Don't forget Ollie and the Reagan administration during the Contras.

[gunsmonkey22]

if i'm remembering right bush pardoned himself right before leaving office.

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

I hope this man writes better than he speaks, all those um's and a's are very annoying...gawd!

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Another person who studders is Eugene Robinson, a frequent guest on Countdown with Keith Olbermann, I have to change the channel or hit mute when he's on, he really has a problem speaking.

He he he he, repeats, his his his words ah ah ah and a a a a and it goes on and on, very hard to follow.

[JOHNINCOLUMBUS]

Cheney was on TV stating that he endorsed waterboarding, something we prosecuted in WWII.

What is the question, he is guilty as sin.

[CmdrSloanne]

I'm a Barak Obama supporter,but not to prosecute the crimes of Bush & Cheney 's Administration is being as guilty in covering up warcrimes.the congress should go ahead along with the justice dept. & prosecute.hang those bloody politicans.

[motorolarules]

The central banks won't let them prosecute as they effectually control the US government

[violin245]

well done TYT

[jawwadgee]

If I was a soldier and I was told something to do immoral, I would not carry out the order. Whatever outcome would be, I would do not lower my values because of my superiors.

[charr05]

TYT,

This was awesome, I love this original stuff keep it up

[jqchirac]

heres a prediction after listening to this guy. its going to be the Iran-Contra affair all over again. there are going to be hearings, then they are going to sweep it under the rug. Anyone remember Oliver North.

[Paolo7219]

I don't think they WILL sweep it under the rug. It's not like with Iran-Contra where the Vice-President (Bush I) becomes the next President and Pardons everybody involved. The Democrats are in the White House now and I don't think the Obama Administration is inclined to help the Bushies out. And I think popular opinion is much more focussed on the Bush torture policies than they were with Reagan and Iran-Contra. But then again, stranger things have been known to happen.

[jhualexc]

Can you find someone that uh uh um well uh uh doesn't stammer?

Can't listen to this crap. It's annoying.

[steviebkhall]

They were following orders,leave the troops alone. Find the perpatrators and get them psycological help ! The top of the chain of comand should be in prison !! Terrorism is the most horrible deed ,done to people of innocence !! But to do this without a fair trail is a crime against the constituton and human rights anywhere on a normal thinking planet ! They are your fucking laws,now enforce them !! All the big niggas ! Thanks.

[gunsmonkey22]

fucking right

[R3dp055um]

Jesus, Klaidmann is a fucking idiot. Or maybe not. But he is such a pathetic speaker that he comes off sounding like a total moron.

"uhh, and then they, ahhh, ummm, they went, uhh, err, ahhh, maybe too far, but, ahhh, err, well..."

I have no patience to listen to this crap.

[SunSin1000]

what is the good of having a legal teem if you know more then thy do.that's why have them.and thy call each other ignorant.if thy cant figure it out. what chance do we.dam if we do dam if we daunt.

[wdgeo]

WATERBOARD JOHN YOO!

[grindstonejournal]

It was a good interview, but my biggest problem with TYT is Cenk's tendency not to listen to people who know what they're talking about and try to push his own ideas on them. LISTEN! The man knows more than you do!

[JohnnyMEldridge]

hahaha that makes hima lovable character hahaha

[ScoundrelLB]

I have a feeling the Administration pushed for and the CIA began conducting "enhanced" interrogations PRIOR to getting the legal team to justify their actions. Therefore, I think the torture memo lawyers should be disbarred and the Administration and CIA officials should be tried for war crimes.

[franks2732]

And Americans wonder why the rest of the western world think you guys are fuckwits, this interview answers the question in one answer, WTF. How can anyone not get that sticking a guys head in water 75 times is torture. What a joke, thank the hell Obama won and sanity can return

[EyeLean5280]

frank,

I don't think you're being terribly fair, here. If the rest of the world is paying more than cursory attention to American politics, you have to know that America was (and always has been) deeply divided on such issues. It's not like everyone in the US thinks torture is just great.

Sure we have too many authoritarian assholes here and sometimes their politicians gain the upper hand. But the rest of us hate them an many put in a lot of time & effort fighting them tooth and nail.

[PrUnEJuIcEtHeThIrD]

"and uh.... well... uh..."

I stopped half-way through.

[iwillspyonyou]

Klaidman is a joke. Why is this guy in reporting? he is clearly defending the bush administration.

[dardonZ]

dardon APPROVED!

[tiredy6]

Good job TYT get the most inarticulate guest on to talk for 13mins

[smdiddy]

im sick of hearing look forward.. that doesn't work in real life... you can't commit a crime and then say wait a minute i did that in the past.. come on ...

[lethaldrago0n]

Klaidman needs to learn how to speak one sentence where at least 50% of the words aren't "uh"s or stutters

[blakeyjb]

haha

[yamaholic]

this was weak. The reporter sucks.

[Benzenering1004]

I love TYTS! When i first stated watching this news program I thought this guy was douche bag. But after awhile Cenk grows on you and his opinions many times parallel my own views. Maybe that makes me a douche bag..hehe. Initially this program seemed like a lame low budget newscast, but now I have much respect for what they do. I love the fact that they can report however they like and don't have to appeal to the masses like most mainstream news programs, not to mention COMMERCIAL FREE!

[talismansoul]

I like TYT alot too. I never had the initial reservations as you did, I saw from the get-go that here was a People's Champion, NOT a bought and paid for mouthpiece for the majority of main stream media. Cenk has no strings attached and says it like it is, for the most part. I would say people who can think for themselves and are not right wingers can definitely appreciate this show.

He can be flat out wrong too, as evidenced by his opinion of the 28 yr gal with the 14 yr boy...he's human.

[klard]

This reporter is kind of an idiot. He spent all this time and wrote this article and Cenk seems to know more about it than he does. He doesn't even know what a trial balloon is.

[Joxman2k]

I love when Cenk interviews people. He pulls no punches yet is respectful and honestly tries to get the other persons position and reports that fairly.

Other times (non-interview) he adds his own perspective and personality... which I generally agree with, but in those cases I look into the matter more if I find it an important topic.

It's all about media literacy people. We should get our sources for our opinion from more than one place.

Cenk does this and that is why I respect him.

:P

[rauviz]

Agree!!

[Mustang424]

I am surprised the C Street house hasn't made it onto TYT, or at least YouTube TYT.

[GrownupPhan]

Klaidman, have you never heard of the Neuremburg principles??

[wongdor]

i really doubt cheney would have been stupid enough to get those shitty legal opinions and then authorize conduct beyond that. evil geniuses don't do that. those opinions already gave him free reign to get his sadistic jollies off as much as he pleased.

i dont like this idea that theyre immune to prosecution for committing heinous acts if they were following "legal opinion". milgram experiment...

[connberkshire]

The Bush Administration set up a culture of invulnerability, using strongarm tactics with the Congress, the Justice Dept, using the subterfuge of National Security, especially after 9/11, to play fast and loose with the Constitution. When people tried to resist or rebut their claims, such as Joseph WIlson did, they exposed his wife, Valerie Plame, an active CIA asset. That sent a pretty strong message, and Scooter Libby never spent a day in jail thanks to a Presidential commutation...

[1111mjon]

Great interview Cenk!

[delicflower]

yall should talk more about what is going on in cali, maybe get someone in the congress around there or even the governator himself...?

[1samothrace77]

so if a lawyer writes a memo that all blonde haired boys should be kidnapped and tortured that makes it OK?

[ar4216]

Come on people. There's no way every single comment on this video deserves a thumbs down. Y'all got to start handing out some thumbs up. Though it is kinda funny and seeing all these negative ratings.

[omiteru]

It could be votebots, or something else.

[Shisho2k]

Too much uhhhhh ummm uhhhhh ahhhh for me.

[victor2cutube]

PS just because something is legal doesn't make it moral and everyone has the responsiblity not to obey immoral laws

[victor2cutube]

if they do investigate it won't produce anything it'll be just a white wash to appease the public ..there has never been an administration that has been prosecuted by the next administration.. it'll never happen they might throw under the bus some low level fall guy and say they did more than what was authorized.. some military or CIA agents might get jail time but nobody beyond that..it's all PR

[ar4216]

Wow, the first eight comments are a total neg fest.

[NewYorkViolets]

hey, mine are total pos.

[ar4216]

LMAO! Every fucking comment on has been rated and put in thumbs down territory. Too funny.

[NewYorkViolets]

Cenk is doing a great job asking provocative questions that deliver this journalist from a somewhat smug position.

[ar4216]

Yo man, I'm gonna give you a thumbs up and put you at even.

[Kloxboy]

Klaidman's voice is so fucking annoying and he's so vague. Just get to the fucking point, asshole!

[beeohhski]

trannies are hot if the dont have man face

[boutdempapers]

ur such a douche nozzle

[GaddingImp]

All posters before me are homosexuals.

[TemplarJK]

hahhaha

[HammandClov]

He practically gently tossed the ball over the plate for that home run. lol.

[Ian7570]

And whoever gives me a thumbs down is a fag too.

[DFWDan]

Clarify your statement you illiterate fuckwad

[thinin1234]

ur still a douche

[DFWDan]

You have to direct the insult AT someone. Just shouting fag in the comment section makes you look like an illiterate fuckwad

[therock27374]

So why are you using such words to insult a person? What did they do for you to call them a word which is used to insult homosexuals?

[Reqrezentin]

They called me one.. Look at the first comments..

[therock27374]

lol the comments section has been destroyed utterly, you can't tell who is saying what to who.

[Simm2Dimm]

ppl go crazy in a blog environment dn't they

[Reqrezentin]

Lol I was thinking the same!

[fuckoffwithaname]

Self-projecting much?

[Reqrezentin]

Hmm, not really..
