#1 If you saw Hannity and Martian yesterday, their guest was Meet the Press bigshot, brain fart can't remember his name, Tim Russert. He kept referring to the soft porn stuff as a catastrophy, actually I think he used a more brutal word but the tinfoil is a little tight. His propogandizing was laughable. Hey Timmy it's all relative dude. If it's Africans hacking each other by the wholesale then its a tragedy. If it's American anything. It's massive brutality on a global scale.

#2 We talk a lot about the “arab street”. Well, let me tell you a little bit about the “American street” and what I am angry about:
1) We have 3 CIA agents murdered in Palestine: no one caught or punished……
2) We have 6 Israelis killed in Gaza, and body snatchers around picking up parts for ransom……..
3) We have, in Iraq, four Americans murdered, mutilated, and their perpetrators not caught……very good example to the “arab street” (they can get away with anything).
4) Now, we have another D. Pearl style atrocity. This time in Iraq. Another American murdered, and to pacify the “arab street” lets not say “mum”….
5) We have a military base in Qatar.We also have Al Jazeera not mentioning one word about the beheading of an American.
6) We give Mubarak 2 billion dollars a year in aid of my taxpayer’s money, so his controlled press can continue to attack us. How about giving him 70 % to encourage him to behave more nicely.
7) FINALLY: In the subject of the hypocrisy on the prisoners abuse on Iraq.: I am going to apply for a job as an interrogator in Iraq. Since I was raised to say please and thank you, I should qualify 100% for, what I suspect, will be the new “guidelines” for interrogating prisoners. It will go as follows: Please Mr. Muhammad Ali Baba, please please tell me what you know about the beheading of an American in Iraq, please please. I have to tell my superiors that I have said many times please…….
8) As the wife of a Viet Nam veteran, if those American kids go down I also want to see 2 and 3 star generals going down. (We had enough incompetent generals in Nam).There is no way that you could convince the “American street” that their behavior was not encouraged from the very top…….S. Hamilton

#3 Anonymous4804 - you are a fraud. How do I know? Because you say, "As the wife of a Viet Nam veteran, if those American kids go down I also want to see 2 and 3 star generals going down"

If your husband had really served in "Nam" as you say, then you would be outraged by the behavior of those who committed those acts AND YOU WOULD KNOW that your husband would never have done those things...that is, unless he is in that one percent of LOSERS sadistic enough to commit those crimes.

Your are an obvious fraud. Go post elsewhere. It is obvious to this crowd that your husband never served in "Nam" or you would know how perverted these people at AG really were.

Your husband is an incredible LOSER or you are a FRAUD..which is it?

#4 The third reason that the US media refuses to let the Abu Ghraib story go is the soft porn, homoerotic nature of the pictures. They are titillated and can't get enough of the pictures. It lets them feel all warm and wet inside while letting them feel morally superior in castigating their enemies. The members of the media are exactly what you thought they were when you knew them in college.
