General Wesley Clark came under fire for hinting to MSNBC’s Thomas Roberts that we should consider internment camps for radicalized Americans. Clark told me his comments were “misinterpreted.”

GEN CLARK: You’ve got to have a counter-recruitment program. If the counter recruitment program doesn’t work, that is to say if you don’t know who is looking at these Islamic websites, if you don’t know what their reactions are, if you don’t have anybody who can talk them out of it, if they persist in becoming enemies, and wanting to kill people, you’ve got to set up some milestones along that journey for them. And at some point they either get arrested, get treated as terrorists, or they get put in a prisoner of war camp. It’s nothing like what some people on the internet misinterpreted.

I pressed Clark on whether the FBI should spend more resources monitoring chat rooms and, if so, where do you draw the line between free speech and the need for the government to take action?

    What a load of “I need to keep my income as an expert talking head so check out this spin…”
    Just go away, shut up and enjoy your hate

    Liar. This man is too smart to misspeak. He said exactly what he meant to say, Gitmo for everyone who doesn’t think exactly like he does. So where are all the wingers freaking out of FEMA camps via Wesley Clark?

    No mention of the same treatment for radicalized Christians or Sovereign citizens….or did I just misinterpret what he said when he only mentioned radicalized Islamists?
