During his discussion with Brian Kilmeade, who wants mosques "bugged" and Muslims profiled, Peter Johnson Jr. said something jawdroppingly amazing. Johnson referenced how, earlier on Fox, a "wacky" state senator advocated that Dzhokhar Tsarnaev be tortured. Johnson didn't mention either the name of the senator or his party (Greg Ball - NY Republican) but he did say that Ball's statement was "irresponsible." So far, so good. But then Johnson made the claim that "we don't torture people in America" because "it doesn't help us." Johnson isn't stupid but he's either very naive or hasn't been keeping up with the news. An independent task force, headed by Democratic James Jones and Republican Asa Hutchinson who was Undersecretary of Homeland Security during the Bush years, just released a report which stated that "It is indisputable that the United States engaged in the practice of torture." Jebus, no wonder Fox viewers are so ill informed!
