Would the peaceniks care to tell us again why this evil regime should be preserved?

peace activist, Philip Latasha

I wonder if he still wants those 2 words before his name.

Anybody care to ask Al what he thinks of this and how he would have handled the post-9/11 Iraq situation??

"“WE KILL, we kill,” muttered the Iraqi driver"

I've had many cab rides that seemed to start this way.

Photographer for Gore??? All she had to do was tell them and they would have released her right away.

all said they simply had no time to think about what they would do next.

Funny, sounds like they had tons of time with nothing else to do.

Miss Bingham, 34, once a photographer for Al Gore, the former US Vice-President,

I think it’s kinda funny that The Times felt the need to explain who this “Al Gore” person was.

[FryingPan101]

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. They must tell the story.

...we saw a lot of people inside that prison who had been in there a lot longer than we were and who didn’t have the support network to get them out.”

They have a support network of 100,000 working their way toward Baghdad right now.

Sure, Ivan, they'll tell you.

You see, in their twisted minds, this isn't about a sadistic, monstrous, third world tyrant who brutalizes millions of his own people (and has killed just as many).

This is only about a right-wing, conservative, President who is exercising American military might.

And that scares the troglydites in the little third world, socialist, pissant states. They get scared when America exercises its power. Their psuedo-intellectual intelligentsia that slut around in their little jet-set, capaccino-clatch, high-society hate that there's a strong, conservative, President in America that they can't reign in and constrain.

F- 'em all. I wish we had the army, and the b@lls, to take on half the world, right now.

I don't care if I ever travel outside this country again. P!ss on all of 'em.

There will be a reckoning when this is done. Between us and a lot of these maggot-infested, third world, hell holes. And that settling of accounts can't come too soon for me.

I never thought I would harbor such hatred for the world, but right now, about half the planet is on my sh!t list and I wouldn't lift a finger to help any of 'em - if they were drowning in half an inch of water, I wouldn't be kind enough to kick them over.

My venom is endless, right now, for the majority of this world. GGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!

mainly Shia Muslims, have been put to death.

And yet so many of the Muslim countries ---including the Shias are taking Saddam's side in this and hate the US for taking down this dictatorship. They should be ashamed.

[Chancellor Palpatine]

Bump!

If these are the same people I saw on Fox News earlier, a man described as Danish wearing a pink shirt responded to a question about how they were treated, saying they were OK but there were many others in the prison that were far worse. I wish I could remember the exact wording, because it was very ominous. He had an expression on his face of fatigue, relief, and when he made this statement, a chilling look that clearly indicated he had seen something very traumatic for him. Very humbled for a journalist I would say.

Another chink in the liberal media's armor. Good job Ivan.

Alone but for the screams of the tortured

Excerpt:

“WE KILL, we kill,” muttered the Iraqi driver of the pick-up truck speeding through the night-time streets of Baghdad bringing his helpless cargo of handcuffed Western journalists to Saddam Hussein’s notorious Abu Ghraib prison.

Thus began the first of eight days in Iraqi captivity for Matt McAllester, a British foreign correspondent, the photographers Moises Saman, Molly Bingham and Johan Spanner, and a peace activist, Philip Latasha, who were seized without warning or explanation from their rooms in the Palestine Hotel in Baghdad while covering the war on Iraq.

During the week in which neither families nor friends had any idea of their whereabouts, the terrified quintet sat in adjacent, bare-concrete cells forbidden to talk to each other, their solitude punctuated by the screams of Iraqi prisoners being led away to torture from the cells around them, the thud of anti-aircraft fire and the pounding of US bombs that were exploding uncomfortably close.

Please let me know if you want ON or OFF my General Interest ping list!. . .don't be shy.
