These fake photos will just fan the anger of muslim men even more. If anyone is going to rape their women it's going to be them.

The Arabs would rather believe the lie.

CBS, hillary, and the people behind the leaks to the American press have a lot to answer for. They could care less about inflaming Arab hatred. They have made it much more likely that the Arabs will believe these lies.

They have blackened our country's reputation and endangered our armed forces for the sake of electoral advantage.

I saved the e-mail, it looks like a hoax, staged, but could be used to fool the foolish

totally XXX stuff.

the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement calling on Arab news outlets to publish retractions

Fat chance.

Why shouldn't arabs believe them? A significant number of Freepers even believe this rises to the level of "torture?" There's no way to beat propaganda when people are so gullible and dumb.

Isn't it simply amazing the speed with which the editors at that Egyptian newspaper found the pornographic websites?

Good Moslems aren't supposed to be looking at such things ~ they'd tear out their eyes first!

If the Arab newspapers do not publish very clear and visible (i.e. Front Page, above the fold, in the headline) retractions, we should declare them enemy combatants and send in special forces to eradicate them - start with the editors.

photos circulating in the Middle East that depict GI's raping Iraqi women were fake and had originated from pornography sites, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement calling on Arab news outlets to publish retractions.

Even if they do, the savage fanatics on the streets will see them and they'll believe them. The damage is done.

We should withhold the $2 BILLION a year we send to Cairo (a Jimmy Carter legacy that is apparantly unending) until they apologize.

Media Schadenfreude and Media Shenanigans PING!

The day after a WorldNetDaily report revealed that photos circulating in the Middle East that depict GI's raping Iraqi women were fake and had originated from pornography sites, the U.S. Embassy in Cairo issued a statement calling on Arab news outlets to publish retractions.

The embassy statement read, "We have done a thorough investigation of the origin of these photos and have conclusive evidence that they originated on a pornographic web site. They are clearly staged photos, done by actors, as the site itself states."

The Al Wafd newspaper published four photographs on the top of its front page that were alleged show American soldiers sexually abusing female prisoners in Iraq. Al Osboa and Al Mussawer published two of the same photos

The U.S. Embassy called the publication of these pornographic photos, with headlines alleging the involvement of U.S. soldiers, a "fundamental violation of journalistic integrity," and stated that their publication needlessly inflamed an already heated atmosphere.



IS there any "journalistic integrity" at ALL over there? Damn the Dems! I say it loud, and I MEAN it. Nobody in the dem party made any kind of fuss about this when it was first reported, of course THEN.....there were no pictures! Now pictures are out, the Dems raise holy hell, and the enemy follows right behind them, ready to blast us all! They use lies, fake pictures, whatever it takes. I am so sick of this crap! GET REAL!!!! This is totally insane!

"Violation of journalistic integrity?" lololol. The U.S. embassy in Cairo should know their customer a little better than that by now.

The closest they'll come to an apology will be to claim that the websites in question were part of a Zionist conspiracy to fool the Arab media. In short: "It was da Jooz!"

Well, no one should be surprised. Some might recall the incident of the Corporal who had a photo of two Iraqi boys standing with him, the boys are holding up a sign which reads: "Lcpl Boudreaux killed my Dad, then he knocked up my sister!".

Turns out the photo was fake.
Here's the article about it:

http://www.acadiananow.com/news/html/6F5D84B4-AE97-47E0-972E-3F1CA51CB21B.shtml

Now, take a look at this site: It's a site where you can actually make a sign, with Boudreaux and the kids:

http://www.ryano.net/iraq/

Yet the media, Muslim organizations etc, insist on an investigation of this incident.

A Freeper actually thought it was an original picture, and posted this:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1127731/posts

Don't believe half of the photos you see on the internet. You just can't, imo.

That is one of the most ignornant stunts I've seen.... of course folks like those who run the pornographers websites obviously have no guilty conscience..hence no higher power to be accountable to.

They should be held accountable to our laws for it though.
