The Peoples Broadcasting System strikes again in it's efforts to turn the USA into a socialist paradise. Hearsay gathers the ignorant.

in all fairness, I have seen some very well-done documentaries on Frontline. It seems there was one about Saddam and his cruelties that was very enlightening. My memory isn't totally clear, but I believe it gave a very good case for why we went to war.

I am pretty certain there were some threads about it here. May do a search...

Jihad in America

different one than the one I was thinking of, but this one was decent too.

I guess Lagouranis is French for "Kerry".

Let's nip this a-hole in the bud before he gets any bright ideas...

This is not a "moore-ish" Bush-bashing film. Watch tonight and tell me what you think.

We shall see.

I was just listening to Michael Kirk on the Ron Smith show. If the actual piece is anything like his interview, I think "hit piece" would be a mild description.

On another note, why do all these PBS, NPR types sould like they are highly tranquilized?

It is going after Rumsfeld with a string of rumors and halftruths and dramatic voiceovers.

Now General Karpinski is one of the contributors to the narrative.

“It’s all over Iraq,” Lagouranis told FRONTLINE. “The infantry units are torturing people in their homes. They would smash people’s feet with the back of an axhead. They would break bones, ribs. That was serious stuff.”

I would have done worse but thats me !


Watching it now.

Its Called WAR wonder what part of that don't these people understand ?

That's torture?

Heck. The Detainees at Gitmo are treated better than the guards who keep them locked up and the MSM considers THAT torture.
