Investigate Joe Scarborough
He claims over and over that he knows what's in the top secret reports that the Dick keeps ranting about, the reports that would "prove" torture prevented attacks against the US. HOW does he know such a thing? There needs to be an immediate Congressional investigation to discover who's leaking top secret materials to Joe Scarborough and he should appear under oath to explain how he saw these documents, if in fact he has.

6. But someone has to call him on it.
Apparently nobody on the show has the balls to.

It's called put up or shut up. And if it takes being hauled before a congressional committee...

2. I think he should be water boarded until he confesses to
killing his intern... and then send him to a Supermax until he goes mad (about 5 years, for most inmates).

3. K & R. This drumbeat justifying torture is sickening. Okay, Joe, WTF do you know?

4. I would sure like to see scabby blathering on a stand somewhere, trying
to explain his 'knowledge'.

17. He won't shut up about it.
Edited on Fri May-22-09 12:43 PM by Stephanie
Wish I had a transcript from this morning, calling Obama a liar and announcing that he knew some very scary things from those intel reports and Obama had better just release them so we'd get this thing settled once and for all. These are top secret security reports, are they not? How the hell does Joe Scarborough claim to have access to that info unless it was illegally leaked to him by some unnamed *cough, cough *Cheney* cough, cough* source?

20. After Stinky adopted
his new name --- he developed more of an attitude.

(Or so it seems.) :)

7. Torture is wrong regardless of resulting disclosure of information!
We should press Joe and his bosses to tell us what he knows (and when he knew it) but don't let Dick Chaney's claims of success of water boarding distract from the evil that torture is.

9. Agreed.
But if Cheney is leaking top secret documents to Joe Scarborough to press his case on cable news, then we need to know. He keeps insinuating, no outright claiming, that he knows something and if only we all knew we'd agree with the Dick. How could he possible know what's in top secret materials without a leak from the CIA or present or past admin officials? Bogus claims need to be called out, as do national security leaks.

15. Everyone on Joe's Circus seem to have information the POTUS doesn't have.
It's amazing, isn't it?

11. I thought the very same thing
Other than Fox, the Morning Joe show has the most factually free discussions about torture on cable TV. It is pure propaganda and I'm really sick of it. He is entitled to his own opinion but he is not entitled to his own set of facts. He is not entitled to ignore facts just because they don't fit in with his narrative.

12. Beyond that, he is claiming to have certain facts that the rest of us don't.
He needs to reveal how he knows them.

13. Can someone on the West Coast grab the quote for me?
It was in the 8:00-8:30 hour when he was boasting about all the top secret stuff he knows and demanding Obama release it so we all know who's right. This was right before Liz Cheney came on. He's been doing it for days now but today was over the top.

16. If Joe's so sure that waterboarding is effective, let's strap that hump to a board
and find out what REALLY happened to Lori Klausutis.

18. He's just lying. Theres' nothing to investigate.
If Snarl had anything good, he would have put it out years ago--he outed Valerie Plame, didn't he?

No "security consideration" would stop him from lying, cheating, torturing and killing anything and anybody he wants.

So there is nothing and Scar is once again lying. Surprise. Not.

19. And while they're at it, someone should inquire about the intern. He's been touting this line for
months now, about how HE knows everything - and he should either be waterboarded for the information or be made to shut the fuck up. Although, far be it from MSNBC to err on the side of responsible news coverage. K&R

21. Here's Joe's boast, from his battle with Ed Schultz this morning:
Scarborough: "If they're going to release documents that suggest that enhanced interrogation techniques don't work, then let's see the other side. And they know what documents I'm talking about."
