Fox News is devoting much of their coverage today to the moving of Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to a jail in New York City so that he may face a federal trial. Many on Fox News are warning that Mohammed may be set free if found innocent in court, that sensitive information may be leaked in the trial, or that Mohammed will somehow spread his ideology in prison.
In the segment below the resident moderate within Fox News, Geraldo Rivera, takes on his colleagues for what he calles inflated fears regarding Mohammed. Rivera is the only lawyer within the group of Fox News commentators below. As Rivera has put it the case against Mohammed is considered a "slam dunk" even if the evidence obtained from waterboarding is kicked out. Mohammed has allegedly made a number of confessions outside of the waterboarding process. In addition Rivera calls fears that Mohammed will spread his ideology completely "unfounded." Indeed many believe that Mohammed will be isolated from the rest of the prison population the entire time he finds himself in U.S. prisons before he eventually faces the death penalty.

For you to continually refer to FNC and spend so many inches to it when at the same time say it is not a news outlet seems just a little disingenuous at best.
RE:KILL SOCIALISM
Many people watch Fox News for there shock value and there negative comments, but they do not regard them as news, just the Jerry Springer of news…
TaxExemptGod: Actually I don't "have to." Go ahead waste your time if you wish but eventually it will all be taken down. If you want to keep refreshing and posting then I am fine with that. I benefit from that as well.
Libs are always on the wrong side! Giving terrorists constitutional rights, while threatening to send citizens to jail if they don't purchase health insurance! I don't get them and neither does the majority of Americans. There time is very limited but they're too arrogant to know it....
Something else that our brilliant law professor of a president needs to explain. How are we going to find a jury of their peers?
Got something to say?
