This is remarkable. The transcript doesn't really cut it, you have to see the video of him doing the "heh heh heh" nonsense, but even reading it says so much...
Q: My question is in regards to private military contractors. Uniform Code of Military Justice does not apply to these contractors in Iraq. I asked your Secretary of Defense a couple months ago what law governs their actions.
Giggly McMurder: I was going to ask him. Go ahead. Help.
Q: I was hoping your answer might be a little more specific. Mr. Rumsfeld answered that Iraq has its own domestic laws which he assumed applied to those private military contractors. However, Iraq is clearly not currently capable of enforcing its laws, much less against -- over our American military contractors. I would submit to you that in this case, this is one case that privatization is not a solution. And, Mr. President, how do you propose to bring private military contractors under a system of law?
Giggly McMurder: I appreciate that very much. I wasn't kidding--I was going to--I pick up the phone and say, Mr. Secretary, I've got an interesting question. This is what delegation -- I don't mean to be dodging the question, although it's kind of convenient in this case, but never--I really will--I'm going to call the Secretary and say you brought up a very valid question, and what are we doing about it? That's how I work. I'm--thanks.

Wow, thanks you lying murdering fuckwad. I appreciate that you delegate things - hell, you can barely breathe without asking someone how.
What does it say that neither the Secretary of Defense nor the President have any idea what controlling legal authority governs a large group of people working in our name? Oh, yeah, that they don't give a crap.
The questioner's laugh was disturbingly close to an ex-girlfriend's.
That whole video was just screwed up.
Yeah, nothing quite says "humor" like deranged mercenaries shooting civilians for sport without repercussions.
Good times.
My 88 year old mother-in-law (who has a living memory of every president going back to Hoover) has just seen this video. Her exact response: "Oh my God, this country is doomed."
