Poor Belfonte
Has anyone ever looked more stupid and ignorant than Harry Belfonte? The man is so desperate for media attention he is willing to say anything. Too bad it his fame to claim is being incredibly naive about history:
Entertainer Harry Belafonte, one of the Bush administration’s harshest critics, compared the Homeland Security Department to the Nazi Gestapo on Saturday and attacked the president as a liar.
“We’ve come to this dark time in which the new Gestapo of Homeland Security lurks here, where citizens are having their rights suspended,” Belafonte said in a speech to the annual meeting of the Arts Presenters Members Conference.
“You can be arrested and not charged. You can be arrested and have no right to counsel,” said Belafonte.
Harry, Harry, Harry. You can only be detained as an enemy combatant if you are an enemy of America. Are you looking to be an enemy of America Harry?
What dribble.
If you are an American citizen but you collaborate with foreign terrorists, does that make you an enemy combatant?
What is the definition of an enemy combatant?
Can you be an American and stay in this country and be an enemy combatant?
Who decides who is an enemy combatant? The military?
