#13  Wow. I just had to slap myself to make sure I wasn't just dreaming this crap up. I can't believe any self-respecting media ... nevermind. Silly illuminati, destorying our country one "story" at a time.

#12  "I guess we'll never really answer the question, 'how low will they go?', will we?"

Not gonna happen, Raj. The Dems have a fleet of backhoes on retainer. >:-(

#11  Only the most rabid, foaming at the mouth, nutters, would believe and dignify such a piece of $hit writing.

#10  *shrug* The Times is a London newspaper, so this article will have no effect on those who may actually cast votes in the American election. This story has been out for some time, believed by fools and fellow travelers, disbelieved by everyone else. However, it would be highly amusing were the more silly Brits to write to "An American Voter" in an attempt to influence votes here on the basis of that article.

#9  It's 10 days until election and this Obama hit piece seems aimed at his core supporters rather than the Great Middle. Isn't it a bit late to be playing to his base?

#8  I say make him raise his arms over his head for the good of the country.

#7  So I guess John McCain can raise his arms over his head after all.

#6  I guess we'll never really answer the question, 'how low will they go?', will we?

#5  I guess the times online is trying to achieve the same rating that was recently bestowed upon the NYT.

#4  If my memory serves, the released POWs were given quite extensive medical examinations upon their release by the North Vietnamese ... which provided physical proof of rather sickening long-term abuse, deprivation and torture.
Also - weren't there quite a lot of POWs who actually died of their mistreatment?

Of course, the good readers of the Times wouldn't believe a word of it for a second - it's only those nasty militaristic Americans telling lies about those innocent little brown people again...

#3  Â“I want to tell him that IÂ’m like his father. I was the one who gave him a second birth.

The words of the communist Tranomessiah.

#2  It's interesting: we're to take the word of a Vietnamese jailer without further ado, but you're never allowed to believe all the people we have working at Gitmo.

#1  I'm really becoming a conspiracy believer. A believer that is thinking, this media of ours, has some kind of contest, a race, a competition to see who can come up with The Story that will end McCain's or Sarah's career.

Who among them, will win out? Maybe instead of the Pulitzer Award, they are calling it the "Woodward Watergate Wooden Nickle Award."
