9/10/2009: In a Special Comment, Countdown's Keith Olbermann calls out South Carolina Rep. Joe Wilson not just for his shameful incivility in interrupting President Obama's health care speech before Congress but for being so glaringly, stupidly, publicly wrong.

Major Stefan Frederick Cook, a Reserve who refuses to serve in the U.S. Armed Forces, and his attorney, Orly Taitz, are named Keith Olbermann's "Worst Persons In The World" after Cook refuses to deploy to Afghanistan, because President Obama is not a natural-born citizen. Olbermann dismisses Cook as a "jackass" and a coward.

This video is from MSNBC's Countdown, broadcast Apr. 22, 2009.
A Senate report revealed that former President George Bush and top-ranking officials in his administration approved harsh interrogation techniques that were later used in prisons at Guantanamo Bay and Abu Ghraib. Former Brig. Gen. Janis Karpinski claims soldiers convicted in the Abu Ghraib torture scandal were victims of scapegoating and had been merely obeying orders.
"In my judgment, the report represents a condemnation of both the Bush administration's interrogation policies and of senior administration officials who attempted to shift the blame for abuse - such as that seen at Abu Ghraib, Guantanamo Bay and Afghanistan - to low-ranking soldiers," said Senator Carl Levin, the committee chairman.
MSNBC's Keith Olbermann stated on Wednesday's edition of Countdown, "When the torture of prisoners in Abu Ghraib prison came to light, Rumsfeld blamed it on a few bad apples. He was right. What we know is that the few bad apples were Rumsfeld himself and Mr. Bush, Cheney and more. They were the bad apples. And as happens with bad apples, they corrupted others around them."
Karpinski called out former Vice President Dick Cheney on his defense of torture interrogation techniques when he refused to defend those involved in torture at Abu Ghraib. "Mr. former Vice President, if you're saying that this was necessary today and that it produced good intelligence, where were you five years ago, stepping up to the plate and saying, hold on, we can't discuss this because this is classified information, but these soldiers did not design these techniques," said Karpinski with a raised voice.
Left unsaid, however, was that a few of the Abu Ghraib soldiers such as Charles A. Graner, Jr. were prosecuted and imprisoned for crimes that went beyond the publicly known authorizations. For instance, Graner allegedly punched a detainee until he lost consciousness.
