I'm disgusted with the whole lot of them, except for John McCain, who really does have the right combination of balls, intelligence and morality. Capt. Jeff Hey, we have a brand-spanking-new prison scandal abrewin', on top of all the other Bush debacles. From the Muslim world's viewpoint, if Plamegate and the CIA prison situation was never reported on, would the great majority of them even know that things like that were happening? Of course not. So if "scandals" like that are so inflammatory to the enemy, why does the news media report on them in time of war? It is anti-US propaganda in a time of war...and the media that splashes it all over the evening (and daytime) news is treasonous for doing so. In their thirst to bring down Bush, the news media is damaging our country beyond repair. And idiots like you lap it up and delight in the fact that "it's not going to keep our troops safer". That's something to be happy about!?! Your problem here is that you believe the news media works for or is responsible to the government. Way back when, before you were born, I worked as a reporter for the Kansas City Star. I worked on the morning edition, which was The Star with the nameplate "The Kansas City Times." The paper was published continuously during the day. The paper was "conservative" on its editorial page, but responsibly conservative, not like the conservatism of today. One night I was assigned to cover a lecture being given by David Halberstam, who had a year or so earlier written a best-selling book about our quagmire in Vietnam. I don't remember the details of the guy's lecture, but it wasn't in support of the administration then, and when I wrote up the article, I figured the city editor, the famous Donald D. "Casey" Jones, would spike it, because of the paper's political leanings. Much to my surprise, the article ran, and it got a good position, too. When I asked Casey about it, he said, "We don't work for the government, we don't really work for the Star company. We work for the people, and the people have the right to know what their government is doing in their name." Well, nothing has changed. The people have the right to know that their government is engaged in running secret gulags, and doing who knows what to their prisoners, most of whom have not be convicted of any crimes. I really don't believe you have any concept of what patriotism is all about. It is NOT blindly supporting one's country. It is helping its country behave properly in the world community. But I doubt you'll understand this concept. News isn't news anymore. It's sensationalism used to further an agenda. And both sides do it. But when news starts to become propaganda material routinely used by the enemy in time of war, then it's time for the news media to rein in the reporting of that news. |

So if "scandals" like that are so inflammatory to the enemy, why does the news media report on them in time of war? NOYB, that's a ridiculous statement. How would the Muslim's know about the secret CIA prisons? Precisely because we don't kill everybody who gets sent to one of those facilities and some folks get released. Those prisons were a last-resort detention facility used for prisoners who could not be reformed. As long as we're fighting a war against Islamic fundamentalist terrorists, those prisoners would be held incommunicado for an indefinite period of time. They would not be released, and thus could not tell anybody. Will you next suggest that we ultimately kill everybody that we torture so word doesn't get out? No. But we should hold them for as long as we're fighting this war...and perhaps beyond then. |

this time of thew war they created? This is what our country needs? It would be treasonous. They are the traitors. Capt. jeff |

They are the traitors. As far as I know, there's no statute of limitations for treason. If, as you claim, they committed treason, there's time to try them for it in 3 years when the next administration takes office. In the meanwhile, quit giving our enemies the positive propaganda that helps them prolong this war. |

The Bush Administration gives the insurgents in Iraq and those who hate the United States elsewhere all the propaganda they need to keep on killing our troops and plotting attacks on our homeland. I think you're getting the administration confused with NBC and CBS. -- John H "It's *not* a baby kicking, bride of mine, it's just a fetus!" HK |

Well, for 3 1/2 years he kept mum about it...in case the Dems won the election in 2004 and needed to use those prisons once *they* got in power. As it turned out, the Dems lost the elections in 2004, and it became convenient in January 2005 for Rockefeller to start ****ing and moaning about the prisons in anticipation that the story would help the Dems chances in the '06 elections. To hell with the country. It's all about regaining power. Didn't you read Rockefeller's leaked memo from 2003 revealing the Democratic playbook to destroy the Bush administration? Everything that has happened since '03 is right out of the playbook...including the shutting-down-the-senate tactic the other day by Reid. |

I thought, from reading many of Chuck's posts, that the Democrats were always 'above board', so to speak. From what you've posted here, the stories about the union big wigs, and the incessant lies we see right here, I'm beginning to doubt the veracity of Democrats in general. I know I shouldn't generalize though. -- John H "It's *not* a baby kicking, bride of mine, it's just a fetus!" HK |
