This story is unpleasant for all of us. But violent fantasies against the press may not be the best response.

Well, it doesnt appear diplomacy is working...so...the citzenry has a right to go all "1776" on them? Can you recall what the revolutionary colonists did too the loyalist press? (hint-they didnt sue them)

BTW, I wonder if there are any class action lawsuits pending against CNN for their distortions of the truth...linking them to enabling enemies of the republic. I realize that might open Pandora's box in regard to FREE SPEECH, FREE PRESS, but they have been so flagrantly over board in the last several years, that something surely can be done against them legally.

We're just joking around. :P

It's like when Red Foreman carrys on about kicking people ***es. He never actually does it, and neither will we. :)

Tale a look at this excerpt:
Khaled Raseef, a spokesman for the victims' relatives, says U.S. military investigators visited the alleged massacre sites 15 times and "asked detailed questions, examined each bullet hole and burn mark and took all sorts of measurements. In the end, they brought all the survivors to the homes and did a mock-up of the Marines' movements." As the detectives found contradictions in the Marines' account, "the official story fell apart and people started rolling on each other," says the military source.

Keep in mind that the charges are based on this, and the testimony of a 9 year old girl. She stated that one of the "civilians," here father was in his room reading the koran during the firefight. This story, like most accounts related by our press come from the enemy. Keep in mind that when terrorists get shot, the instant their body hits the dirt they become devout civilians. The bodies are removed quickly, or disarmed by their companions. Note also that terrorists kill indiscriminately, without remorse.

There is nothing in this story but rumors.
