At least show some respect for democracy, thich you allegedly believe in, Mr. O'Reilly.
See THIS POST for background on the overthrow of habease corpus and the rights it brings in America; how the Great Writ was effectively nulled my the Military Commissions Act of 2006 thanks to both parties in Congress and President Bush. This is a serious issue, and I am not just venting political steam on it... this is serious.
At least show some respect for democracy, thich you allegedly believe in, Mr. O'Reilly. Apparently ultra-conservatives such as TV personality and super-conservative pundit Bill O'Reilly do not even think to mourn (or scorn) the loss of a law embedded in democracy, recently stricken down by Bush and others: habeas corpus (the Great Writ). You cannot even speak of democracy without that protection from unfair and inhuman (certainly un-democratic too) arrest and detention. All of this is being rhetoricized and fought in the name of the "war on terror", terrorists want to take away our democracy, right? I guess Bush and co. are doing a hell of a job at beating them to the punch!
Apparently Bill O'Reilly does not care at all about the democracy he allegedly loves. He has trashed and supporting the nulling of one of the major laws/acts in governmental history (the writ of habeas corpus). Like many of his chums on Capital Hill and Fox news, O'Reilly has been again shown as a fraud.
Stop screwing what we have left of this nation's dignity, reputation, and freedom!
