this is an unbelievable interview which says basically that stars like rosie and Jane fonda embolden terrorists and they love it when we call bush and cheney war criminals etc. This guy claims to have had interviews with terroriists. I suggest to use the word "claim" loosely since i don't see how someone can go around meeting with terrorists interviewing them and not getting beheaded or killed. and furthermore if troops can't find the terrorists or Osama, how is this guy so capable who is just a journalist who has no intel who has basically no nothing. More spin from the "no spin" factor LOL
O'REILLY: How do you find them, though? I mean, give me an example. You go after a Hezbollah terrorist, something like that. Where do you go?
KLEIN: They have cell phones. And then I've been — I've been reporting from Israel for about two years, for WorldNetDaily.com. And I've developed my relationships with these organizations. I hate to use the word "relationship", but I have, in my reporting. So they've trusted me. And through them, they've introduced me to more senior levels to the point where a lot of senior terrorists now call me on a daily basis...
O'REILLY: Do they really know Rosie O'Donnell, Sean Penn, Jane Fonda, Cindy Sheehan? Do these terrorists know who these people are?
KLEIN: They knew who some of them were. They knew that Sean Penn, who's gone on a solidarity mission to Iran...
KLEIN: He's called Bush and Cheney "war criminals." He has said that the war in Iraq is a disaster. And they've heard of him.
But others, like Rosie O'Donnell, they've never heard of Rosie, but I took some of her quotes. In the book, "Schmoozing with Terrorists", I talked with terrorists. And I read some of Rosie's quotes where she's called terrorists "freedom fighters" and "moms and dads" and that there's no reason to be afraid of them. And she's questioned who was really behind September 11. I read those quotes to the terrorists, and they just — they love that stuff.
KLEIN: They actually — they knew of Jane Fonda. They didn't know Rosie O'Donnell. They didn't know Barbra Streisand. But the one that they understand — they knew that, during the war in Vietnam, that it was American public pressure, urged on by politicians, urged on by Hollywood icons, that in part, prompted America to drop out of Vietnam. And they're trying to do the same thing now with Iraq.
And if they have to use the Hollywood icons, or at least if they're on the same team, the terrorists love that. They're actually emboldened when they hear these people go around and say that we're losing in Iraq, that we should leave, that Bush and Cheney are war criminals.
So they don't know some of the particular Hollywood icons, but they know that, overall, a lot of people in Hollywood are on their side.
KLEIN: That — that I don't know. Didn't find that out.
O'REILLY: Last question. How do you protect yourself from becoming a Daniel Pearl, from these guys kidnapping you and harming you?
KLEIN: Well, I was very careful. There were some feelings and some interviews where one or two in particular, I honestly — I thought that I wouldn't get out alive. But I really thought that Americans need to understand what these terrorists say, how they think, how they're emboldened by us, so that maybe we can better formulate a strategy to beat these guys.
