On September 9, 2001, Ahmad Shah Masoud, 48, mujahideen hero, the Lion of the Panjshir, former vice-president of the Islamic State of Afghanistan, resistance leader for the Northern Alliance against the Taliban and the closest to a nationalist leader and hero Afghanistan has had in a long time, was assassinated by terrorists disguised as "reporters".

I think everybody at the UN is fully aware of this. The idea for making sure the "reporters" were not allowed in probably arose in that venue as the steam does from a hot kettle of water.

“The press is not the enemy and to treat it as such is self-defeating,” he said.

Yes, years of being the media's darling have really helped McCain, haven't they?

Gates is right, were we talking about the 1950s. Today's media is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Democratic Party, and it must be opposed in the same manner.

So are these closed door meetings in which only the insiders are privy? If I had it my way, I'd monitored every phone call and rip the doors off every office in D.C.

There should be no closed door meetings. Closed door meetings involving government officials has brought us nothing but disaster.

Outside of meetings involving national security issues, I personally feel *all* meeting involving those in government should be recorded, monitored and made public in real time.

Free press? Sure!
Free from restraint to publish? Yes, usually.
Free to intrude wherever and whenever they please? Like a self-appointed fourth branch of government? No. The constitution makes no such guarantee, and based on their behavior lately, they don’t deserve favors.

“Lord, please, please let it be your will that this woman gets elected.”

Amen to that! The Lord is raising up prayer warriors all over America to pray for the right outcome of this election and for the protection of McCain, Palin, and their families.

GO SARAH!!!

[Aquinasfan]

About freaking time. They need to do more of this!!

Absolutely.

[PurpleMan]

Gates is wrong and Paling is right?

IRT this, I trust his instincts above hers.

[SueRae]

Good. Obviously they take these meetings seriously ....unlike some candidates who use such meetings as nothing more than photo ops.

[wastedyears]

Well, they’ve certainly turned into the enemy.

[super7man]

I love it.
Permission to steal it?

[nfldgirl]

LOL! That is too cute! That’s the first time I’ve seen a “hissy fit baby”! Cute indeed!

[AFreeBird]

I don't think she's treating the presstitutes as the enemy. She's treating them like the spoiled little children they are. They need a Time Out. :)

Hey, photogs, and camera crews are allowed in. Just not the talking heads that want to interrupt her meetings just so they can score points with their political masters.

I actually approve of this, doesn't bother me in the least, and I don't think thinking Americans will mind it either.

[mtairycitizen]

The meeting is not closed door. Cameras are allowed.
Reporters are not. I assume the video will be viewable.

We do not need the media telling us what we see.
If you want to know what happened, watch the video?

[PurpleMan]

If you think they are the enemy, what kind of strategy is it to hide from them?

[BallyBill]

Now the MSM will throw their support to Obama.

Just Dang!

Palin/ CNN walkout ping

[mikey_hates_everything]

I fail to see how I am better informed listening to a “reporter” editorialize and in between editorials, ask multi-parted, irrelevant questions—most of which were already answered in the subject’s original opening statement. If only the idiot “reporter” actually listened instead of pushing their slant. Suzzzzonnnn Malveaux comes to mind. Just once I’d like to see her go unhinged when someone calls her Suz-ann.

Sara Kugler (Associated Press writer on Palin beat) political campaign contributions link... SHE IS A SOROS-LED 527 Contributer

http://www.newsmeat.com/fec/bystate_detail.php?zip=10014&last=Kugler&first=Sara

From Wikipedia: America Coming Together (ACT) was a liberal, political action, 527 group dedicated to get-out-the-vote activities. ACT did not specifically endorse any political party, but mostly worked on behalf of Democratic candidates. It was the largest 527 group in 2004 and was planning to be involved in future races. The group was primarily funded by Peter Lewis, GEORGE SOROS, and labor unions, especially the Service Employees International Union, and was led by Steve Rosenthal, a former political director of the AFL-CIO.
