Pacifica radio is interested in objectivity? More Americans have died at the hands of illegal aliens than have died in Iraq and Afgahnistan. 12 people die every day, if the left wants to be objective, why are they not reporting on this? One life is as valuable as another right? And we all know how much they love the military.

These idiots never consider that as "journalists" things they wrote caused people to die.

Nairn advocates non interference, so therefore all the millions of dead in his not writing about it or telling America to Ron Paul hand's off are Nairn's responsibility.........so indict him.

Bill Clinton has enough crime from bribery in the billions to his cover ups in Vince Foster's murder and the Muslims blackmailing him along with the Chinese.

Tim. Very interesting piece - and thank you for catching it. Pacifica Radio, Mother Jones, and The Nation, all have a long track record at coming at every issue from the extreme left. During the Clinton era, these left wing sources were often on the attack - and it was directly pointed at the Clinton admin. Of course, it goes without saying, that anything to the right of Clinton politics would be their larger target.

What's notable here, is that among the left side of the isle, including the Democrats and the MSM, all of these issues targeted on this particular show (as well as similar ones in the past) are well known and readily offered up for discussion anytime the occassion arises. However, the disclosure of the numerous transgressions of the left (Clinton, Carter, etc) as revealed in this piece, are absolutely not widely known by the Democrats nor the media - and they are not discussed or revisted by the MSM when the opportunity arises,  and it presents itself almost daily (Charlie Wilson's War is one). 

Any discussion of world policies by the MSM, or an interview with Carter or Clinton, current Democratic candidates, etc., is an open invite to invoke negative discussions of any and all past Republican policies -- selling arms to Saddam or past events in Chile or El Salvador, etc.,  -- and will never bring up discussion or questions regarding policies such as touched upon in this Pacifica Radio piece.

Not sticking up for Bill Clinton, but it's not his fault Saddam chose to starve his people. The sanctions allowed for humanitarian relief, food included, which Saddam kept to himself.

Nairn:  "But if Huckabee were really tough on crime, he would have used his post as governor of Arkansas to extradite Bill Clinton to Arkansas to stand trial before the courts there, as is permissible under international law, for the hundreds of thousands of civilian deaths brought on by the Iraqi sanctions during the Clinton administration."

Just a few points for this idiot . . .

1. The sanctions were imposed by the UN, not the US.  If Nairn wants to indict someone for war crimes, start with Kofi Annon.

2. The actual war criminal was Saddam Hussein, who diverted funds from the Oil For Food program to profit himself and various scum  -- including the Kofi own son -- and denying humanitarian aid to his own country's children.  The US apprehended Saddam, and the new Iraqi government tried and executed him.  Case closed.

3.  The trial of Americans for war crimes is the jurisdiction of the Federal government, and not the government of Arkansas. 

4.  The governor of Arkansas can reqeust extradition of a suspect only if the crimes involved occurred in Arkansas or against its citizens.
