Will these pictures be on the MSM tonight, positively showing the Surge?
or will they have that important "news" about Hurricaine Katrina and the 'talking points' of the DNC?

Stay safe, and "thanks for all the fish".

The command should just tell the media they are using the blindfolds for a huge pinata party and to just go away before they get hit with a stick.

If the command told the media those in blindfolds supported America, and gave them a stick, the media would massacre them.

This is beyond criminal. This is downright evil. Why don’t the “caretakers” just shoot those children and get it over with??

May God show them no mercy!

This is INSANE! THIS IS JUST INCREDIBLE! Liken this to the Natzi days, when artists were trying to get the word out to THE WORLD...that there was something SERIOUSLY BAD GOING ON! This just turns my stomache INSIDE OUT! I have a 8 year old boy that has just graduated from second grade and is going to spend some great fun-filled Summer days at camp while I work to hold a roof over our head....again, this is absolutely DISGUSTING! Whet, I know it is not the only place in the world that this condition exist!

HEY HOLLYWOOD...WAKE UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!....PUT YOUR MONEY WHERE YOUR MOUTH IS! Support our troops!!!!!!!!!!!!

I am at a loss for words....no liberal ever tell me, the WOT isn’t worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God Bless the Innocent Children of Our World!

about 5 mins ago i read a reuters article on the surge. i felt sick at how they portrayed it so falsely(i am not even american), i am totally not surprised the terrorists were happy to pose for them. Thank you for this essay, a picture speaks a thousand words and you have several good pictures!

can you answer a question for me... do most ordinary americans see iraq as a war? like, you know, the normal type of war were you get casualties and inflict casualities? or is it just the DNC and media who want to surrender to the islamo-facists after 1 (all respect to him) US soldier is killed?

I agree with you. some posters just are so inadequate that they have to “show off’ by bringing in other stupid comments to show us how “cool’ they are! People like this are always trying to ‘one up’ whatever the thread is about.

In the fourth set of photos showing al Qaeda prisoners, it’s interesting to note the tall Caucasian-looking individual in the top right-hand photo. I wonder if he would get stopped at our border?

Might be a Cheychnian, or Muslim from the Balkans.

Actually he would probably be stopped, doesn't look Mexican or Latin American. Not true of some of the smaller darker fellows though. Change their haircuts, lose the beards, maybe leave a mustachio, and they could pass for Latin Americans.
