Remember "Lose Lips, Sinks Ships"? That slogan was appreciated by all then who obviously loved their country! Today that slogan would be rediculed. With such as CNN and others screaming at anyone who dared question their journalistic freedom's. After shouting people down, they would then go ahead and list where and when the ships would be. Possibly even the Captain and/or Crews names and addresses. Hey, you doubt?

Funny, I don't recall a single instance of American media doing such a thing in this war -- except Gerlado on FOX.

Any one interested in buying a t-shirt with your favorite journalist in the cross hairs?

And although I am kidding, if I get enough offers, I might take up some well meaning 1st amendment protesters up on the offers.

That's pretty disgusting -- even for you.

The videotape was also shown on Australian news programs as part of the reports of whatis happening in Iraq. It is shocking, it is disturbing, but it is what is happening. I don't really know what the US commetary on it was, but the video itself is newsworthy, not just propaganda. It is one of the outcomes of war. We also see the bombs that explode in places likeIsrael, the shooting in some parts of Aftica and other sad, disturbing acts of violence - i heartilly wish there was non of it, but as there is, it is reasonable that it be reported, hopefully fully and fairly.

Very well put!:thumbsup:

Thanks, Ralph.

And I agree. All those who want to "throw the bums out" this time around and in 2008 will cause great rejoicing in the Muslim world.

And most the rest of the world, too.

It's called working for the enemy.

No, it's called reporting the truth. I appreciate knowing the truth no matter how much it hurts. It would be different if they staged it but this is really what's going on and we deserve to know.

Nope. It is called broadcasting propaganda for the enemy and giving aid and comfort to the terrorists while demoralizing our troops and weakening the resolve of Americans. Liberals are pretty good at this. They have been doing this ever since helping the North Vietnemese defeat America over 30 years ago.

But it happened, didn't it? Our troops were actually sniped, weren't they? It wasn't a lie or a made-up video was it?

I'd think that any propaganda would be in how the video was presented; after all, it can be used even more against the enemy. Rather than demoralize our war effort, stuff like that can be used to strengthen our resolve through anger.

That's nonsense, of course. Just some right-wing propaganda of your own.

Did you notice where they got the video? Do you wonder why they would want to send that video to CNN?

Joseph Botwinick

Has any official came forward and denied it is happening?

This is typical of the Communist News Network, aka CNN.
They had contact with the 'insurgents', and rather than help the war effort, as men of integrity would have done a couple generations ago, by informing on the scums' whereabouts; instead they PROMOTE their evil by airing it worlwide!!!

FILM AT ELEVEN!!!

Nope, it's called reporting the truth whether you like it or not.

You cannot change the reality of this failed war by ignoring the distasteful things. The American people should be given all the information about this misguided war.

It is possible to report the truth without showing the video of the the death of a soldier. Telling the truth - that's fine! Showing the video - I believe that crosses the line.

I'm already sick of seeing dead bodies all over the streets after the terrorists blow them up in their attacks. I believe to show that is wrong. Report on it, yes! But that can be done without the blood and bodies. They can do the same about the death of our soldiers. IMO, all the video does is encourage the terrorists. Just makes me wonder whose side CNN is on.

I have no doubt in my mind whose side CNN is on: The side of the Terrorists and Democrats. All three are on the same side.

You right-wing wacko's just don't want to admit to this war being a lost cause. These videos show the result of Bush's failed policies and you don't want to admit it.

Maybe, these graphic scenes will cause the American populace to see that the U.S. soldier is not equipped to do police patrol in this foreign environment. Then maybe they will increase pressure on our elected officials to get our military personal out of Iraq ASAP.

Iraq, thanks to Bush, is going to have a civil war whether our troops are there or not. Now it looks like Iraq was better off under Saddam than it is under Bush.

Nothing is a lost cause until you surrender and give up. You left wing wackos just don't want to admit that you are really hoping above all else that the terrorists do win and rooting for us to lose, all for political gain. That is the only way you can regain power. You guys are a bunch of traitors and a disgrace to the nation. You are on the side of the terrorists.

That's not really true.

Just because that's what you would do doesn't mean that we would. Besides which, Iraq has little to do with terrorists and everything to do with a war.

Nah, Republicans are already coming up with excuses why they lost the majority House and Senate, just in case. It's not looking good for right-wingers.

You are a liar to say that I am a traitor, a disgrace to the nation or on the side of the terrorists.

You are saying you are sick of seeing the situation we are sending our young people. I agree, it's not a pretty picture but it's where Joe American 18 year old who joins the service is going. We can hide it and pretend it ain't happening but that won't make it any less real.
