Sean Hannity on "The View"

John Leo [Stories Not Told] sort of rocked me back on my heels with this revelation ..

Amnesty International's report [charged] torture in U.S. detainment camps. The group didn't just call Guantanamo a "gulag," ... In a press release that most reporters ignored, the group also invited foreign governments to snatch certain visiting American officials off the streets and bring them to trial for crimes against humanity. The suggested snatchees, should they travel abroad, were President Bush, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld, Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, former CIA Director George Tenet, and other unnamed civilian and military officials. Amnesty International said that "all states have a responsibility to investigate and prosecute people responsible for these crimes," just as the British pounced on Augusto Pinochet in London in 1998.

Rosie O'Donnel shows her reaction to a Condoleezza Rice candidacy.

Yesterday Sean Hannity guested on ABC's  "The View." Barbra Streisand on steroids (Rosie O'Donnel) launched into Bush, demanding that he be tried as a war criminal in the Hague for invading a sovereign nation without the UN's approval,  and for torturing prisoners.  You can watch the segment here, hosted by a site called "Crooks & Liars" (us).  On the same site you can read this:

"I see that Drudge has now launched what promises to be a full-scale war against Howard Dean, making Dean into the devil incarnate."

No, just a rabid dog who has just about everyone in the Democratic party pulling hair out with beauties like "The GOP is  the party of white Christians."  I do know the recommended  course of action for animals infected by rabies, but would opt in this instance to let Dean keep running with the pack, infecting them with vile hatred.  Sooner or later they will all die from the disease. Rosie too.   But back to Leo (put down the slab of ribs Rosie, and pay attention).
...

Mainstream media have been reluctant, in all the coverage of treatment of detainees at Guantanamo, to mention that the al Qaeda training manual specifically instructs all of its agents to make false claims of torture. The New York Times seems to have mentioned the manual's torture reference only once, in a short report from Australia. Several other papers mentioned it as a one-line quote from a military spokesman who pointed it out. But until the Washington Times ran a front-page piece last week, a Nexis search could find no clear and pointed article in the U.S. press like the one by Alasdair Palmer in the London Sunday Telegraph, with the headline "This is al Qaeda Rule 18: 'You must claim you were tortured.'"

I'm trying to see an end game here that does not involve an actual civil war in this nation.  Someone help me.
