On Monday's CNN This Morning, host Audie Cornish aired a clip of UN human rights spokesperson Shabia Mantoo condemning the planned livestream of Nidal Hasan’s execution as “abhorrent” and incompatible with the prohibition on torture. Cornish then asserted that the broader debate has already been settled.

CNN’s decision to platform the UN statement as a serious contribution drew an immediate rebuttal from conservative panelist Tiana Lowe Doescher of the Washington Examiner.

“I could care less what the UN says. They had Iran on the women’s rights commission.”

Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.

The guy really should be hanged.

Should been hanged a long time ago.

Just my opinion.

“They had Iran on the women’s rights commission.”

Ouch! That left a mark!
A bitch-slap so sweetly delivered.

Again, what I find interesting is that no media or politician is challenging the actual execution in this election environment. Nor are them supporting it.

Why?

[cross_bearer_02]

The UN is not our governing authority.

[escapefromboston]

Shabia Mantoo doesn’t seem like the name of a person I would waste my time listening to.

[Da Coyote]

The UN has less moral authority than a floating turd.

[quantim]

The best thing that this country can do for itself is kick the UN out of our country.

FOR GOOD.

[KevinB]

I could care less what the UN says.

So she cares what the UN says..
