Whatever happened to responsibility and loyalty to ones employer and country?

A secret document is just that - secret, no if's, and's or but's about it and no looking up the word "is" either. That means that NO-ONE, NADA, ZILCH, ZERO, but no-one sees that document unless he/she has the clearance and the need to know.

The person who leaks or gives the document to the unauthorized people, in this case, the press and Hitlery are committing treason against the government. Plain and simple. Think about it this way, if they will do this now, giving secret documents to the press, how likely is it that they have already leaked or sold information to the enemy? My friend, it is very, very likely.

If there were a need for the public to know about this, it would have been announced in a public areaa such as a news conference by AUTHORIZED individuals - it wasn't.

It is being used as a ploy to harm the integretity of this country and our leaders. It is appalling that we allow this person who leaked (sold) the information to the press to continue on in anonimity. They should be called to task in the public arena and condemned and shot at dawn!

The press is not working for this country, it is working for the enemy...

Don't kid yourself, these slimes can't waite to get in a dark room with a supply of towels to watch these movies and look at the pictures. They are a perverted bunch of voyeurs.

I agree. The media is deplorable but so are the idiot dems calling for Rumsfeld's head. If Rumsfeld resigns, I am afraid that I will have to conclude that we cannot win this war. We are too bloody fickle and squeamish. Makes me sick.

It's gone as is the respect for God, Country and fellow Man..

The press is not working for this country, it is working for the enemy...This should be there logo.

SS motto: "My honor is loyalty". Loyalty is a Nazi virtue; responsible people follow their consciences.

These are the same senators and journalists who closeted, voted, and worked relentlessly to keep their own known serial felony criminals in our White House and elect one to the senate.

Why was the Taguba Report classified Secret/Noforn? The pretext that it was to protect the worldwide reputation of the United States and its Army is difficult to swallow without some further justification. The decision to classify the document should be a legitimate area of inquiry.

From what I've read of the Taguba Report's contents there is nothing warranting Secret/Noforn classification except that the contents are embarrassing to the Army as an institution. Why should the actions of some prison guards be hidden from the public? Can you imagine the outrage if the Army tried to suppress reporting of the incident when Patton slapped the soldier with combat fatigue by classifying the matter Secret/Noforn?

[Reelect President Dubya]

Janet Reno did not resign when she murdered 87 men, women and children, but Rumsfield should resign because a few airheads made photos of their foolishness, in which no prisoner lost a single drop of blood.

Makes sense to me. </sarcasm>

[BushisTheMan]

I have news for the News Media.

Every time the photos are shown or discussed, I turn to another channel. I'm hoping their ratings ALL go down -- including Fox, my favorite.

However, I do see a new rally back towards the troops. People are starting to point out that the Iraqis are not choir boys -- they are murderers and terrorists trying to kill our troops.

They are talking about the atrocities of the Iraqis to our troops (IEDs, suicide bombers, etc.)

AND they are starting to say that we have had NO apoligies from the Arab world for atrocities, kidnappings, and deaths of our soldiers.

Screw the media and especially GHOUL TV: CBS

You can look up your Congressman's contact info at http://www.house.gov/house/MemberWWW.html

and your Senators' contact info at http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm

Then FAX them at http://www.tpc.int/sendfax.html in support of Rummy. Do it now!!

Remember PAID dim operatives have been working on your congresscritters all weekend.

Apparently on 10% is really classified. The rest of the paragraphs are not and should have already been made public.

"If there were a need for the public to know about this, it would have been announced in a public areaa such as a news conference by AUTHORIZED individuals - it wasn't"

Rush said earlier on his show today - from a story printed in NYT's on Saturday - the 'out with the trash day' as he described it. . .this story: that it was the Father of a soldier who was involved - sorry did not quite follow the thread here - but he was upset should this be found out; his son would become the responsible party; so he tried to go the top with this; he wrote seventeen Senators (this disclosure is buried deep into the story on a cont. page); some Repubs; and Democrats. . .no one replied.

He went to Colonel Hackworth's website; posted the letter; and got a call, I believe from Hack; from there he was put in touch with the Sixty Minutes people. . .and we know the rest of the story.

I surely hope the names of these Senators are made public.

No doubt, that some of the same self-rightious-fire-breathers that were screaming they had no idea that this could happen as they were nailing Rumsfield received that mail. So either they did not read their mail; or it did not seem like such a big deal or just not enough to require a response.

WhatEVER the case, their position as as 'Senator' and their office 'chain-of-command' should be investigated-by-committee; 'dontcha think'.

We need to know 'who dropped that ball'. . .sure. . .and on 'prime-time'tv. . .sure again. . .

Here are some of the names of the Senators who KNEW ahead of time about the abuse in the prisons, because an uncle of one of the men charged, wrote to the following:

John Warner
Jay Rockefeller
Mark Dayton
Bill Nelson
Robert Byrd
Hillary Clinton
______ Reid
Roscoe Barnett (who is he?)

THEY ARE ALL DEMOCRATS - EXCEPT FOR WARNER.

And .. I find it disgusting that the ones whose names appear here are the same ones who were the most vicious to Rumsfeld. These dems knew about this - and THEY DID NOTHING. No wonder Hillary said there was going to be an October surprise. They hid what they knew, and planned to use it against the President in October.

Because the SENATORS ignored his letters, the uncle contacted Col Hackworth. While I'm not a fan of the Col, this time - the fact he gave the photos to CBS was a good thing.
