How gullible is Rachel Maddow? Plenty, apparently. The MSNBC host has bought into North Korean propaganda on Gitmo.

On last night’s show [MSNBC video here], Maddow told the story of two American reporters being held by the North Koreans. In response to inquiries on how they are being treated, the North Koreans reportedly said: “we are not Guantanamo.”

That plunged Maddow into a bad bout of Bush-Cheney Derangement Syndrome. According to her, until we expunge the supposed stain of Gitmo and Bush admin policies on dealing with suspected terrorists, we will never have the moral authority to condemn the abuse of prisoners by brutal regimes. She used the occasion to renew her call for the convening of Sen. Patrick Leahy’s proposed “Truth Commission.”

Really way doesn't this Leftist “Man” interview some EX “Guests” of the North Korean Penal System?? Or perhaps visit it herself By getting caught hanging around the border THEN and do some real reporting

Bush and Cheney are gone. Gitmo is Obama's now.
