#1 Once again: terrorists are spun as all innocent students of Islam. Terrorists captured by NATO are ratting out the terror handlers. Intelligence would be flawless in this case. More please.

#2 It was dark and very early
An obvious inline would be:
It was a dark and stormy night...

I wish the media would not be such obvious enemy propaganda assets.

#3 Snease Shaiting3550, did you read the article? I was shocked to find the closest thing to evenhanded reporting I have seen from NBC since the Eisenhower days. The first sentence is illustrative: NBC News Mushtaq Yusufzai was about a mile away from the Pakistan school and militant training camp known as a madrassa when it was attacked by Pakistani forces on Monday, killing an estimated 80 suspected militants.

I like to beat up on the MSM as much as anyone, but when they get it right for a change, they deserve a little credit.

#4 NBC's Mushtag Yusufzai interviews a fellow Muslim terrorist, one of Bin Laden's boys. Pathetic.

Our media is working directly with the Islamic horde that wants them dead too. And they don't get it.

#5 Maybe they'll kill us last.

#7 sorry, Walter and Dan. As soon as they get real control, they will kill you first.

#10 We have good expeience with IEDs, don't worry, plus we excel at suicide missions. Are YOU willing to take one for the team? Didn't think so.

#12 I am impressed. So far two days and no "baby ducks", "fuzzy bunny" or "wedding party" claims.

Just don't mess up the hair, when slicing our necks. Oh, wait..I'm already dead. Never mind.

#14 Actually, I think it was pretty good that the reporter interviewed an al-Qaeda terrorist and juxtaposed his call for further action against Coalition forces in Afghanistan with the madrassah attack coverage. This shows the direct link between Pakistani madrassahs and American troop deaths across the border. This needs to be done a lot more often.
