LETTER OF THE DAY
"Mr. Fenstermaker doesn't have any evidence that Al-Awlaki is a terrorist, but he automatically assumes the U.S. and Israeli leadership are corrupt liars. Seems like selective presumption of innocence to me."
Chad Conley
Spring Creek, NV
SYMPATHIZING WITH TERROR?
Scott Fenstermaker, an attorney who has represented terror suspects, defends the ACLU taking on the case of Anwar al-Awlaki. The Obama administration calls him a dangerous terrorist, but the ACLU is suing for due process since Mr. al-Awlaki is a U.S. citizen.
"Good grief. Is this guy for real? He has the most perverted sense of reasoning I've ever seen. If he didn't see it, it didn't happen. What of the Holocaust?"
Gloria Gregory
Riverton, WY
"Please do all of us a favor and send Scott Fenstermaker a one-way ticket to Afghanistan or Pakistan."
Clint Horn
Tahlequah, OK
"If Mr. Fenstermaker needs proof of how badly al Qaeda wants to kill Americans, he need only go to Afghanistan. He would quickly find the proof he seeks, but may not live long enough to tell about it."
Audrey Figueroa
Belmar, NJ
"Mr. Fenstermaker adamantly refuses to cast negative judgment on terrorists, professing a lack of concrete evidence to sustain such judgment, yet anyone in the U.S. or Israeli governments cannot be trusted?"
Michael Oddenino
Arcadia, CA
"Sounds to me like Mr. Fenstermaker is more willing to trust al Qaeda and its ilk than he is to trust the American military. Disgraceful."
John Martin
Shoreline, WA
"Mr. Fenstermaker has apparently been radicalized by the Muslim extremists he's paid to represent and has been dangerous and anti-American."
Eugene Womack
Myers Flat, CA
"Thank you for wrapping up the interview with Scott Fenstermaker before I changed the channel. What rock does this guy live under?"
Erica Grunwald
Chesterfield, MI
"The ACLU wants to defend al-Awlaki because he is an American citizen. If we are in a war against terrorism, why has this known terrorist not been stripped of his citizenship?"
Leslie Severance
Parker, CO
"Mr. Fenstermaker doesn't know if al-Awlaki is a terrorist? Maybe he should do some research before he starts defending him."
Chad Conley
Spring Creek, NV
"I believe al-Awlaki is a terrorist. However, his U.S. citizenship affords him certain rights that set him apart from other Islamic terrorists. Our government can't be allowed to target and assassinate citizens."
Steve Edwards
Watsonville, CA
"Citizenship trumps terrorist activity. We have to capture him and then try him in court."
Bruce Beane
Nashua, NH
"I'm a conservative, but I believe any U.S. citizen, regardless of the offense they're accused of committing, must be given due process. Mr. al-Awlaki is innocent until proven guilty."
Brad Fore
Glade Spring, VA
VICTORY MOSQUE?
Opponents of the mosque at Ground Zero claim that the religious building would send a symbol to the world that the Muslim community was victorious at this location on 9/11.
"If the argument for building a mosque near Ground Zero is because this is America and we have freedom, why can municipalities put restrictions on strip clubs near churches and schools?"
Andy Smith
Orange Park, FL
"I can't believe we're even talking about building a mosque at Ground Zero. America can now officially be labeled insane."
Eric Hill
Las Vegas, NV
"Muslims constantly demand we respect their religious practices. Why don't they try showing some respect for America, particularly those lost on 9/11?"
Scott Scafer
Flower Mound, TX
"There's no doubt the mosque at Ground Zero will be seen by radical Islamists all over the world as a monument to their victory on 9/11. Wake up."
Jim Rice
Oakhurst, CA
"I have watched you for ten years and you don't seem to be a naïve person, but you appear blind to the fact that the majority of Muslims are out to destroy the west."
Monroe Gray
Cameron, LA
"I believe the mosque at Ground Zero would be an affront to the sufferings of the American people. If Muslims want to work on relations, they should put the mosque ten blocks away and stop this anguish."
Paula Doss
Roanoke, VA
"Let's make things simple: tell Muslims they can open one mosque in the U.S. for every Christian church in an Islamic country."
Ed Given
Murfreesboro, TN
"While it certainly would be helpful if the mosque planned for Ground Zero was moved to a less controversial location, that is a decision for the mosque builders, not the rest of us."
Larry Kump
Falling Waters, WV
"The Ground Zero mosque is absolutely a victory mosque. History confirms that Muslims build mosques where they have had a victory."
Steve Foster
Groveland, CA
MILLER TIME
Factor viewers weigh in on their favorite segment of the week.
"God bless Dennis Miller. He's an oasis in this desert of political correctness. I wish he and I could have a beer summit."
Paul Crauford
Sarasota, FL
"Why didn't someone tell me years ago that Dennis Miller was so witty and brilliant? I would have watched him on Monday Night Football."
Mary Kathryn Paolini
Palm Harbor, FL
"After seeing Dennis on the show tonight, one phrase comes to mind: Dennis the Menace. He had me rolling on the floor laughing out loud."
