Former Arkansas Governor and current Fox News host Mike Huckabee was discussing the decision to try the Flight 253 suspect in a civilian court yesterday, and said that “frankly, I’d rather the military and the CIA take him and do whatever they need to do, including fill his underpants back up with whatever explosive and put him in a field and let a U.S. Marine detonate it if they have to.” He added, “I’m being a little facetious about that, but my point being, we want him to talk.”
On his show yesterday, Huckabee said that “we want to get all of the information out of these guys before they get a lawyer.”
He continued: “Any lawyer’s gonna tell his client to shut up. We don’t want this guy to shut up. We want him to talk. We want him to sing like a canary.”
And how does Huckabee propose we do that?
Frankly, I’d rather the military and the CIA take him and do whatever they need to do, including fill his underpants back up with whatever explosive and put him in a field and let a U.S. Marine detonate it if they have to. Get this guy to talk.
He quickly qualified his statement, saying that “I’m being a little facetious about that, but my point being, we want him to talk.”
Huckabee added: “It’s not that we don’t want to give him some civil treatment, because we are a country that does that.”
