"often turn themselves in within a week; they simply feel too guilty, and honor dictates that they face the music of justice rather than hide."

"perceive [Bush] as a simple, honest and straight-talking, straight-shooting country cowboy."

STEWART: You know, the interesting thing I have is, you have a responsibility to the public discourse, and you fail miserably.
CARLSON: You need to get a job at a journalism school, I think.
STEWART: You need to go to one.
The thing that I want to say is, when you have people on for just knee-jerk, reactionary talk...
CARLSON: Wait. I thought you were going to be funny. Come on. Be funny.
STEWART: No. No. I'm not going to be your monkey.

"Six billion people on planet earth connected by economic, environmental, and security concerns. Decisions that impact lives and futures made by powerful nations. Headlines filled with conflict, fear and blame. Yet technology can link individuals across vast distances, and information can be a tool for change. If the world's people could speak directly to America what would they say?"

"Some of the worse that happened that you don't know about, ok. Videos, there are women there. Some of you may have read they were passing letters, communications out to their men. This is at Abu Ghraib which is 30 miles from Baghdad [...]

The women were passing messages saying "Please come and kill me, because of what's happened". Basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys/children in cases that have been recorded. The boys were sodomized with the cameras rolling. The worst about all of them is the soundtrack of the boys shrieking that your government has. They are in total terror it's going to come out."

(Goodman): Some of you may have heard the hour discussion we had with CNN's Aaron Brown and we were asking him a lot of questions like "Where are the pictures of casualties in the U.S. media"?

AARON BROWN: I think there are actually legitimate questions here about have we over sanitized this?

AMY GOODMAN: And he said, "well some of them are tasteless". And we said, "well, war is tasteless". I was speaking at St. Mark's Church in New York and I talked about how Al Jazerra shows all these casualties pictures and a journalist came up to me afterwards from Berlin and said, "It's not just Al Jazeera that's showing these. All over Europe we see them day and night. It's just here in the United States that you don't see them". And so we asked Aaron Brown, "Why don't they show some of the shots", you know CNN was kicked out of Baghdad and he said "it's tough to get those shots". You have no trouble taking Al Jazeera's footage of the bombs over Baghdad, the kind-of fireworks display that we saw that night scape, but when it came to taking their pictures of casualties. Well, he said, "they're tasteless".

I really do think that if for one week in the United States we saw the true face of war, we saw people's limbs sheered off, we saw the kids blown apart, for one week war would be eradicated. Instead what we see in the U.S. media and it's just quite astounding, it's the video war game. Those gray-grainy photographs with a target on them looking down but you don't see, we don't see those people as the targets on the ground.

GILL: One of the problems with the green movement, and specifically with Greenpeace, is that for 30 years it has done nothing but cry wolf when there are no wolves there. There is a serious problem and you have jumped endlessly on bandwagons, sent people up Big Ben with huge banners for things that simply haven't happened. And what the problem is is that there is a problem and you're not taking it seriously enough.

GUETERBOCK: I think that is totally unfounded nonsense. I mean, you're entitled to your opinion but I think it's frankly nonsense.

I mean, the reality of climate change is that the decisions taken in the next few years are going to determine whether or not 1/3 of land-based species are wiped out by 2050.

GILL: Now see, you there you go. Now, where does that come from? Nobody knows that? This is exactly what you guys do.

(CROSSTALK)

GUETERBOCK: I do know that. And frankly, you know, you have great expertise as a restaurant critic, but as a climate scientist I think, you know, your opinions are not quite as strong.

The science of climate change is out there. It's very strong. We know that.

GILL: Those models -- taking computer models that just say 1/3 of all species are going to disappear, that's exactly the sort of crying wolf that I'm talking about.

RODGERS [Host Walter Rodgers]: let me jump in here for a second. Let me quote you something, and this is a direct quote. "Climate change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters." That was the "Observer" the 22nd of February of this year.

Now the Pentagon tells Bush global change will destroy us. They're talking about tidal waves. They're talking about European cities buried under water. They're talking about mini-Ice Age. They're talking about riots and wars.

This is the "Observer. This is a Pentagon report.
