Gotta Give Fox News Credit on This One

By Bryan Packman | Published: January 10, 2010
After prominent figures on the right, and their zombie followers, jumped to conclusions of conspiracy over President Obama's executive order granting certain immunities to INTERPOL, a panel on Fox News quelled the resulting hyperbolic nontroversy.
