Stupid Now, But Not Then
Shakesville —
... Bush vowed to capture Osama bin Laden and Taliban leader Mullah Muhammad Omar yesterday on his first visit to Afghanistan since the US-led invasion. "It's not a matter of if they are captured and brought to justice, it's when they are brought to justice."What a remarkably stupid fucking comment he made at that time, wouldn't you agree Billy? Of course the big difference between the two is that Hasan is actually in custody. [H/T to ThinkProgress] ...
Sentence First, Verdict After
Shakesville —
Following up on Space Cowboy's post, it seems that William Kristol has issues with the concept of justice. He is not going to be innocent of murder. There are a lot of eyewitnesses to that. They should just go ahead and convict him and put him to death.Problem is, there's a little thing called the Constitution of the United States, specifically the Sixth Amendment that guarantees a trial by jury. Now we all know that during the last few years the rule of law was a cumbersome piece of bureaucracy and a nuisance to the True Protectors of ...
The Good Old Sixth Amendment Days
The Moderate Voice —
Remember when conservatives used to say that “enemy combatants” like the guys at Gitmo had no right to basic legal protections because they weren’t U.S. citizens? You know, like in the post I wrote just before this one?
Well, that was so sixty minutes ago. Bill Kristol brings us up to date (emphasis in original):
Law enforcement officials announced yesterday that Maj. Nidal M. Hasan has been charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder in the brutal attacks at Fort ...

The Reaction —
... On Fox News the other day -- where else? -- Krazy Kristol, discussing Nidal Malik Hasan and the Fort Hood massacre, came out against due process, the rule of law, the U.S. Constitution, and, well, America herself: ...
The Barbarian Inside The Gate
The Daily Dish | By Andrew Sullivan —
... "I was very struck also by Janet Napolitano’s comment, I hadn’t read it before to see her say that, that the number one priority is to bring [Hasan] to justice is such a knee-jerk comment and such a stupid comment. He’s going to be brought to justice. He is not going to be innocent of murder. There are a lot of eyewitnesses to that. They should just go ahead and convict him and put him to death," - William Kristol, appearing on Fox News. ...
Does Wolf Blitzer Think It’s Time To Call Out the Lynch Mob?
Firedoglake —
... Good point, Wolf. Following his logic (and Bill Kristol’s), why have a trial at all for Hasan? Why not do it the way they used to do in the good old days–just call out a lynch mob and be done with these legal niceties? Sure, lynch mobs ...
Olbermann: Kristol 'Spitting on Ft. Hood Dead', O'Reilly 'Worst Person' for Calling 'Terrorism'
NewsBusters.org - Exposing Liberal Media Bias —
... On Monday's Countdown show, MSNBC host Keith Olbermann, presumably picking up on a posting by the far left ThinkProgress.org -- one of his regular sources of information to attack conservatives -- made the arguably inaccurate claim that FNC political analyst Bill Kristol had on the Thursday, November 12, Special Report with Bret Baier on FNC, called for Fort Hood gunman Nidal Hasan to be convicted and executed without trial. After calling the FNC analyst's words "anti-American," and quoting a portion of Kristol's words, Olbermann lectured: ...
