My CNN.com/Live Blogger Segment On Torture w/ Video
Friday, April 24, 2009 at 16:43 | baratunde | tagged CNN, Live Appearances, Torture, Video in Baratunde-News
Here's the video!
I couldn't see any of the other participates so hope that didn't come across as weird. What did come across to me as weird is that we're having a big debate about whether people involved in violating domestic and international law should be prosecuted. I tried many different angles during this segment in an attempt to highlight the absurd notion that we should only look forward. I hope one of them stuck. Always appreciate any feedback. I'll be back on CNN.com/live Monday at 12:10pm ET. Topic TBD
Oh and thanks to Huffington Post for letting me use their office space for the webcast.
Update 4:45pm.
Oh dear god. I just noticed the caption on the video refers to us as The Blogger Bunch. As in The Brady Bunch. What has happened to the most trusted name in news!?

Soren and Rachel don't want to hold officials accountable. It's just that simple. If the "terrorists" did the torturing, the U.S. would demand full disclosure and punishment. Why should the U.S. be exempted? It's just too bad that the Dems are not hardline on this issue. Obama needs to work on the economy, but I'm sure his administration is big enough also hold criminals accountable. And there were clearly criminals in the Bush regime, including Bush himself.
