Al-Qaida terrorists still plot to inflict catastrophic harm on America ... he's worried that someone won't read them their rights.
This was met with cheers from the assembled Republicans.
I was disturbed.
I missed that one but as others have said, it doesn't surprise me. Guliani was mocking the Dems for not using the phrase "Islamic terrorists" because it might be politically incorrect phrasing. He questioned whether the Dems didn't want to offend terrorists with the phrase, completely ignoring the possibility of Muslims being offended at having their religion constantly linked to terrorists. On a different part of the speech, he had the crowd chanting "Drill baby drill" (in reference to off-shore drilling).

Only disturbed? I was disgusted.
