Duo of Doom, concerned for your safety

Bill O'Reilly and Karl Rove have a lengthy discussion about how bad it will be if Obama stops using torture, wiretapping, and rendition.

Typical of FOX News's treatment of this subject, it is assumed that our 'coercive interrogation techniques' are what has saved us from another terrorist attack. Also typically, the claim is made that Obama desires to end the practice of rendition, and no distinction is made between regular rendition - taking someone in one country and moving them to another, not much objectionable about that - and the aspects of rendition Obama and many others disagree with, namely when the country they are taken to is one that is known to torture prisoners. And of course, for the trifecta, opposition to secret, illegal, warrantless wiretapping and data mining is dumbed down to mean you don't want to spy on terrorists at all.

As the icing on the idiot cake, it is hilarious when Rove criticizes Obama's pick of Panetta due to his lack of experience, considering the track record of the Bush White House he was a part of on picking qualified candidates for important jobs. Heckuva job Rove. Most of the people I have seen object to Panetta are people who likely have dirt under their nails with respect to the enhanced interrogation techniques. Seems like they are afraid of being called out for that and possibly going to jail and being subject to some enhanced sodomy techniques.
