Gannon: Get him on our side.

During Anderson Cooper's interview with Gannon/Guckert, the commenters over at Atrios were -- as usual -- cutting, sarcastic, and taking no prisoners. They noted that G/G was way over his head in the interview, and that he's obviously been hung out to dry by the Repugs who used him.

Some of them started predicting his suicide.

Cruel as that is, I don't think it's way off. And as ticked off at the WH and GOP and G/G as I am, it makes me worry about this guy.

One commenter had an interesting thought: can G/G be turned? I wonder -- if he's been abandoned by those who used him, if he's feeling desperate, and if he's interested in continuing his 15 minutes...perhaps he could be convinced to change sides. Someone like David Brock would be the perfect contact, but someone here could try it, too.

Getting the information he has would be better than destroying him entirely, and from a compassionate perspective, it would be the right thing to do.
