#1 Dan Rather had better have himself cremated when he dies because if he doesn't I am going to find out where he is buried. Then I'm going to buy a 40 ounce bottle of good old American malt liquor, hop into my pickup truck, and drive there. Along the way I shall consume said bottle of beer so that when I arrive "little" Secret Master will be locked n' loaded, so to speak. Then I shall water the petunias on his headstone.

Even if there aren't any.

#2 Are you saying the cowards needed an excuse by blaming CBS?

They just have a slicing fetish. THey needed no excuse. The "prisoner abuse" story was a convienence.

These cowards needed five in order to hold down one American?

I know what I would do to these five, but Saddahm's paper (people) shredders have been dismantled.

#5 I've got a 38 ounce Louisville Slugger you can have SM. Sharpen it on short end and get a sledgehammer and you're in biz.

The secret will be to work in shifts. I don't think it will be that hard to keep it soggy with 100 million people working at it.

#7 Question? My understanding is, it's against Geneva Conventions to show pictures of prisoners. Did Rather and CBS break this code by releasing those pictures?

It seems the military is taking the heat when it really was CBS that released those pics. Kinda like those Arab stations releasing those pics of our captures soldiers and citizens.

Are citizens of a company held to the same standards for the Geneva Conventions as our military?

I really don't know -- but I'm willing to vote "Yes."

#8 CBS , Rather Inc. has their own agenda. Following in Walter's footsteps, Dan has picked up the banner for the far left anti war minority in this country. I expect nothing less from these people who perpetrate 1/2 truths and a distinctly biased coverage to their news. They are shallow people looking for the next ratings war to hang their hat on and purport to say they are a News Organization. They betray our countries values, our troops and have the gall to say they support our men and women overseas, in harms' way, at war time. They bring nothing to the table except a negativity to anything good that has been done in this war against the Islamofacists. They are nothing more than complant link to the Al-Jizz trash and their news reporting does nothing for this nation' security.

#9 Did Rather and CBS break this code by releasing those pictures?

Almost certainly.

But, to quote a favorite comedian, "they adhere to the journalist code that your right to know supercedes your right to exist".
