#1 Once again, Human Rights Watch shows that it is objectively on the side of the terrorists. And Mike Sylwester validates my opinion of him as a jihadi lover.

#2 Zhang Fei, Too right.
But don't forget the WaPo's role in all this as the terrorists' enabler, too.

#3 OK HRW - we'll just shoot them with our Jooooo bullets. Happy?

#4 Frank G - works for me.

Really, I wonder how much useful intelligence we're getting out of these guys. Except in (possibly) a few cases, it might just be better to help them to their 72 raisins and get it over with. It's not like they'd show any mercy if the tables were turned.

Human Rights Watch .... objectively on the side of the terrorists; Mike Sylwester ... a jihadi lover; WaPo ... the terrorists' enabler.

Last Sunday it was the BBC and Gen Karpinski who were on the side of the terrorists who behead Americans. This Sunday the focus shifts to other traitors.

We should all be glad, I suppose, that there are at least a few people, such as Zhang Fei and Jen, who truly oppose terrorism while so many other people are on the terrorists' side and love and enable them.

#6 Uh, Mike, that wouldn't be me on Gen. Karpinski.
But yes, the BBC has done more than their share of carrying the water for the IslamoFacists.
In fact, they're starting a new Arabic channel to compete with Al Jazeera.
And you're quite right about Zhang Fei and I--we're doing our bit for the war effort, on the Right side.

I don't agree with your judgement about The Washington Post or about the BBC. You ought to moderate your accusations.

#8 they have an agenda that the Islamofascists would appreciate, what's to moderate?

#9 That's not going to happen, Mike, and there are lots of clear-thinking right-minded people that share my views of the BBC and the WaPo.
Plus, they go beyond mere accusations.
The BBC was proven to have lied in the Andrew Gilligan/David Kelly case as an attempt to bring down Blair's government.
The WaPo brought us the bloodless coup that took down Nixon and it's clear that they'd like to do the same to Bush if they try hard enough.
If either media wants to sue me for my "accusations," I'm not that hard to find.

#10 Jen, I didn't know there was a difference between the BBC and Al--Jitzz. I guess you learn something more everyday.

Its organizations like HRW (and the media) who also enable the terrorist organizations with their weeping and gnashing of teeth over every little inconvience the prisoners of the west endure (Oh my! This soldier farted the the presence of a murdering terrorist! The soldier must be punished!) while completely ignoring the real torture and pain and death dealt out on a daily basis by Iran, North Korea, Sudan, etc....

#12 Ok Mike, perhaps not 'completely ignoring' but they do their best to 'bury' it in paragraph 20 on some obscure page in the neither regions...

I'm sorry but having some prisoner wear women's panties on their head (while quite bad - on the other hand some guys might like it.. no accounting for taste...) is not equal to gang rapes, murders, and the killing of newborn babies in front of their mother (N. Korea). Did any of the mainstream media give 1/50th the coverage to these as they did the Prisoner mistreatment?

#13

The mainstream media (and Human Rights Watch) have reported plenty about problems in Iran, North Korea, Sudan, etc. Right now the issue of prisoner mistreatment is prominent. At other times, other issues have been and will be prominent.

Before the photographs of the Abu Ghraib prisoners were published, the mainstream media reported relatively little about the treatment of prisoners. Back then, it was HRW reports about prisoner treatment that were buried back on page 20.

#14 Mike, if you hadn't established a record of dishonesty on this issue, people would take you more seriously.
