Whacked!!!

Watching the news the other night and they are saying how they expect increased retaliatory attacks due to the release of MORE pictures from Abu Graib prison!!!!!! My question is this.....who felt the need to release more pictures of the goings on at Abu Graib prison???? I can pretty much guarantee it was not our Government......nope.....it was the thoughtful and caring individuals who make up the body of morons that we affectionately call...."The Media"! I guess "The Media" did not get enough ink the first go round with this story so felt the need to stir the pot some more....thus potentially causing further uneccessary attacks/injuries/death to our soldiers who are in harms way!!!! Good move "Media"......you should all be stood up against a wall.....blindfolded and shot for being the ignorant, stupid, headline, money grubbing glory hounds that you all are!!!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

It was Actually the British Media that released them...And i agree, what the hell were they thinking about opening old wounds

The media loves releasing this %$%$%$%$....Only becuase it serves to promote thier agenda that Amercians are only in Iraq to torture and kill inoocents and we should get out of Iraq. %$%$%$%$ the Liberal media i'm sick of them!! They are so anti american and love to put fuel on the fire and do anything to put down the US military and embarres Bush Who's %$%$%$%$ing side are they on in this war anyway? Clearly not ours if they keep trying to encite more violence on the US troops in Iraq.

I'm not going to condone the media because there bias is all over the map plus they do best to server their own gravy train, HOWEVER who else's job should it be to dig in for stuff the government does not release (this cuts both ways, consider if Skip's worst nightmare is elected president in 08)...

Where in the eff are we supposed to get unfilter, unbiased information ? OK, even filtered, biased informatiion that we have a hope of finding the grain of truth in?

Angry actually

it was an australian beotch who discovered additional
photos posted on a website... and decided it was news...
the headline read: US blasts Austrailia...
then of course other bozo rags followed the leader
and did the same stupid stunt...

what bothers me is that people (us military) are getting killed
because of these publications throwing gas on the fire
while these repoters sit in cushy offices eating salad.

demark started the snow ball rolling....
and now its an avalanche.

While i tend to agree with you John about the press digging up dirt on the Goverement, wich they should do. These photos are old not new. They are from the same batch as the orginal Abu Garib photos. This is not a new story. Its old news, we all know what happened there. Why do we need to see more photos of something we already know about? It was clearly done to embarress Bush and the Military. Its old news! Just another days work by the Liberal media.
