| #8 At the AP only Bush, Blair and Howard are terrorists, all the rest are militants, freedom fighters or revolutionaries. 99.9% of Journalists are a waste of human skin. To the wall with them. No I am not joking. They are helping to destroy western civilization and culture along with the legal "profession" screw them all. Their are too few decent folk among them to redeem them. |

| #7 I don't know, OS, why people like the AP (A$$ociated Pre$$)insist on trying to be *quote quote* neutral in their presentation of news. They are sick delusional suicidal idealogues. It is a sickness, the trouble is that it will get THEM and US killed. That is how I look at it. |
