I don't know if I invented this idea or not...
Maybe I heard it after Abu Ghraib, or after the world was aflutter over Baghdad Bob, or after they canonized Rachel Corrie, or any of the numerous occasions the MSM goes out of their way to endanger Americans and promote terrorists.
Yeah, it's mine.
Hey, don't knock ol' Baghdad Bob. He was a great comic relief during the invasion of Iraq, you couldn't buy entertainment like that.:)
There was one other..Some officers were being interviewsd and Fox News was covering it..They were laughing their butts off saying how Bahgdad Bob was only a few kliks away from their artillery..It was split screen (Bob on one side, Officers snickering and laughing it up on the other). I recall distinctly seeing one officer leaving the interview, at a rather heated pace...Low and behold, arty goes off in the background (on the officers side of the screen). That round hit a few hundred meters from Bob's presser..It was golden and to be savored (especially the look on bob's face when the round impacted). I wish my tivo didn't bail on me...I saved that clip for months trying to figure out how I could offload it to my box..
Poor ol' Bob, he didn't even make the deck of cards, and when he tried to surrender himself later, he was turned loose immediately as non-important.
Re: the "liberal" Muslim sympathizing Media:
NewsWeek, Dan Rather/CBS, et al, are cowardly party partisans. They fear Muslim terrorists' retaliation. They will be among the first "liberal" ones to capituate and to wave white flags of surrender. They are just like the Vichy French elites during WWII who not only readily turned over Jewish French citizens to the Nazis but also great art works in the Louvre. With great secular self-righteousness, "liberals" and the ACLU would serve up infidal Christians to Muslim terrorists. Bashing Bush, vilifing members of his administration, and slandering his nominees is a breeze for "liberals" because there is no viable retaliation.
Your tagline says it best: the price of freedom is vigilance. That is what we are doing here. Our vigilance toward the likes of Newsweak is the only thing (besides our brave men and women in the military) keeping us free. They protect our freedom, and we practive it. If either of us fall down, we are doomed.

As long a the NET remains a forum for free speech and communication, for alternative media, our vigilance has a voice.
