I'd like to say this video is unbelievable, but it's become par for the course from some of these wingnuts. The video is Glenn Beck and former CIA idiot, Michael Scheuer, talking about what America needs to get right. That is, what America needs to do to validate their sick, twisted dystopian view of America.
Basically, they're hoping that Osama Bin Laden nukes an American city so that the government will then behave the way these two lunatics want the government to behave. They are actually calling for the death of thousands of American citizens so that American citizens can be protected.
Obviously, logic isn't their strong suit, but it's clear that they would rather we live in a constant state of fear, a police state where rights are sacrificed in the name of Freedom and the American military roams the planet in order to somehow free us from fear of the very thing Beck and Scheuer are calling for.
What hateful, barbaric, utterly repulsive scumbags.

Scheuer was praised by the antiwar movement at the beginning of the war because he opposed the invasion. He thought it was stupid and wrote a book evicerating Bush's rationale for the war. Then, in April, he wrote an Op Ed piece in the Washington Post criticizing Obama for eliminating torture. But it's a really odd statement:
"In a breathtaking display of self-righteousness and intellectual arrogance, the president told Americans that his personal beliefs are more important than protecting their country, their homes and their families."
This is idiotic on a number of fronts. First, he is saying apparently that Obama should discard his own "personal beliefs" in favor of Scheuer's which, of course, count for more. Second, it's not as if Obama didn't campaign on eliminating torture. People voted for him knowing where he stood. It would be one thing if he had changed his position post-election but he didn't.
To quote from "Airplane": "What an asshole."
