Thanks for linking the research thread. I was going to hunt it up later and now don't have to.
Did you see the movie?
Should I send it to Drudge?
Don't believe Hamid's account of what the Iraqi people want or expect. He has an agenda.
Can't hurt - everyone needs to save it.
Sure...it can't hurt. I have Sean Hannity's contact info too...I was going to send it to him with the links and see what happens.
Hmmm. Makes me wonder who ol' Hamid's been interviewing. Al Quaida operatives, perhaps?
Go ahead.
Hizbollah, Michael Moore and Hamid...hmm.
The islamocommies right here in America have gotten bold, haven't they?
I would say we could be nearing a 'major offensive' against America in more ways than one this fall, guaging my behavioral study of the MocRATs and their allies to this point.
The guy's a little old to be a Doctoral Candidate, isn't he? That's another smelly thing about this story.
Because it would either be too expensive to do, or too low a ratings, or both, apparently in the estimation of FNC's News Division editors. Witness how as soon as we had liberated Baghdad, even Fox News had more or less eliminated its war coverage (except for a token), and went to the sensation & scandal-of-the-week mode...such as the current ongoing travesty with the Scott Peterson trial 24/7.
In Imperial Rome, it was Bread and Circusses.
Today, it is the 10-second sound-byte summaries, with lurid video snapshots that substitutes for real reporting. It is likely with the importation of CNN's celebrities...such as Geraldo and Van Sustern, these 'acquisitions' were early signs of the dilution of FNC's philosophical committment which distinictiveness had raised FNC to the top of the heap in the first place, and the descent thereto into 'run of the mill' same-old same old. Fair & Balanced? Only if it fits in 'Round the World in 80 seconds.'
From his CV - "1978 Libya (Recieved scholarship to study Arabic, 5 months)"
Why travel to Libya to learn Arabic if you're of Iraqi decent / citizenship? If his family was Iraqi, wouldn't he have learned Arabic in the home?
PS - In 1978, Libya, under the rule of Col. Gadaffi, discarded all vestiges of being an "true Islamic state" by rejecting the hadith and sharia as being the law of the land. He cemented a socialist government the same year.
Sent to Hannity (he is Fox, so no need to duplicate...doh!!!). This is a good find Hildy!!! I hope it gets around to people who have the resources to do a thorough check up on it...it looks like this guy was in pretty thick with the opposition (mujahadeen??) while filming our guys out on patrol....I could JUST SCREAM when I think of the implications of that...we really do need to send this around, hopefully, persons in highers places than ourselves are on to these jerk-o**s - Moore's "film crews" and can assess any damage they may have caused!!
My thoughts exactly. This guy does sound rather much an Islamo-Nazi fellow-traveller. Where the heck is the FBI and the Dept. of Homeland Security? They should be around this Hamid charachter like a rope. Very likely could lead them to Al Quaeda contacts in the U.S.
"Did you see the movie?"
Why would anyone who isn't in Hezbollah, a terrorist or blatantly anti-Bush and anti-America want to see that movie?
Abuse of Iraqis by GIs common practice
In January 2004 journalist Urban Hamid accompanied C Company as they invaded an Iraqi home, hooded a man with a broken knee and another 80 year old man, and treated them shamelessly in a freezing courtyard along with 14 other "detainees." The footage gives lie to the U.S. claim that the atrocities of Abu Ghraib prison were the actions of a few "bad apples."
~snip~
It sound like Hamid was in contact with some really scummy radical fundy groups.......I wonder if an association with Hamid could have been the bane of Nick Berg's demise????? If so, then that would be a definite link from Moore to Berg, would it not?????
And the website my link in #57 also features a link to the Nick Berg story---their version being the one that cites Free Republic and "Uncle Sam" as the likely suspects.
