I don't care for O'Reilly but: I didn't like the line in [Obama's] speech about how we don't have to compromise our values to protect ourselves. I think sometimes we do. I think sometimes we have to be realistic and do things that aren't Army-Field-Manual polite. We can't give the Lazy-E-Boys to the captured terrorists. We can't give them the iced tea and wind chimes. And I think that was oversimplifying, and kind of a cheap shot at the Bush administration.
I hear we waterboarder three people. If the the guy that planned 9/11 thought he was drowning for 15 seconds, tough shit. It saved many more lives and I want him dead anyway.
