When O'Reily challenged him to present his best evidence or his "best shot" he just couldn't do it. He knew O'Reily would shame his 'evidence' on national TV.
They've got nothing and they know it.
Loved the way they cut him off at the end.

Why 'cry' about inmate rights when it is apparent that they did not give a crap about their victims rights? Makes no frailin' sense.
Paey, who bought painkillers, did not murder or maim anyone, yet prosecutor Scott Andringa thinks that it's right to send to prison for 25 years a wheelchair-bound man suffering extreme chronic pain who was trying to ease his agony.
WASHINGTON - America's prison population grew again in 2002 despite a declining crime rate, costing the federal government and states an estimated $40 billion a year at a time of rampant budget shortfalls.
The inmate population in 2002 of more than 2.1 million represented a 2.6 percent increase over 2001, according to a report released Sunday by the Bureau of Justice Statistics. Preliminary FBI statistics showed a 0.2 percent drop in overall crime during the same span.
Prison is hell, TV, peanut butter or 100 virgins, it's still hell.

And thats why its called PRISON, not summer camp. Personally Im sick of hearing about how bad prisoners have it in our prisons. They dont have the first clue of how GOOD they have it compared to most other countries. I wish we had more people like Joe Arpaio running our prison systems.

The report by the Justice Department agency found that 62 percent of people in jails have not been convicted, meaning many of them are awaiting trial.
Mauer also criticized sentencing guidelines, which he said remove judges' discretion, and said arrests for drug and parole violations swell prisons.
"If we want to see the prison population reduced, we need a much more comprehensive approach to sentencing and drug policy," he said.

Look I don't want to go OT but you miss the point in your blind passion to judge others, does it make you feel more righteous or something?
Do you realize how many prisoners are there for victimless crimes?
Not every person in prison is a hardened criminal, like they want you to believe.
Most people in jail are no different than you. A lot are there because of unjust laws (drugs) and a corrupt legal system. Take this guy for example...

Who was his victim that he didn't give a damn about?
I'm not crying for prisoner rights, I'm crying for human rights.
There are more hardened criminals in the white house than in state prisons.
The system is living contradiction. Black and white laws and punishment don't work because we as people have a hell of a lot of grey in us. Crime has gone down yet prison populations continue to increase.

Not even convicted of a crime yet! What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
How can the punishment fit a crime that hasn't been prosecuted yet?
Over 80% of the increase in the federal prison population from 1985 to 1995 was due to drug convictions...

Besides that, can't you see the points O'Reily was making? Watch the video and listen to what he's saying. Why can't the scholars get their story published anywhere outside Prisonplanet and Infowars? NO media from ANY nation is buying into it.

(PrisonPlanet)- a previous case in which his false charges led to the arrest of another professor and charges of supporting terrorism which were later dismissed.
Sammy Al-Arian, a former professor at USF who was charged and later acquitted of helping to lead a Palestinian terrorist group that carried out suicide bombings against Israel.

[edit on 14/10/06 by JAK]
Al-Arian, a former university professor, was arrested by the United States government in 2003 on charges of funding terrorists. He was acquitted on eight of the 17 charges against him last December after a six month trial with three co-defendants. On April 14, 2006 al-Arian pleaded guilty to a single count of conspiracy to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad and agreed to be deported. In return, federal prosecutors agreed to drop the remaining eight charges against him.
Al-Arian was sentenced to the 57 months in prison and given him credit for time served. He is to serve the balance of 19 months and then be deported.
