When do you imagine, that you will finally, at long last attain that ashes of maturity, that you're talking about?

I don't know.

I hate to tell you this, but you are wrong; dead wrong and you really should stop digging now.

So you have said. Repeatedly. It's simply your opinion. The realization that you cannot turn your opinion into a fact seems to really tick you off. But you have to come to terms with it sooner or later.

There is no valid reason to release those pictures to the world.

Yes, your opinion has been duly noted. I disagree. Many other people disagree. The court disagrees. But you are still entitled to your opinion ... even though it has been overruled.

This judgment will be appealed.

Well, maybe you're opinion will eventually prevail. Why don't we see what happens?

That you agree with the outcome, thus far, makes you an enemy of this country,

Yes, yes, everyone who disagrees with you is an enemy of the country. We also eat our young, and have and have sex with animals.

Jusitify it however you like.

and a pariah on FR. I hope that you enjoy that status here.

I don't worry about labels. I speak my opinion and let the chips fall where they may. I don't alter them to please any specific person or group (which is why I would shore up the border). If that makes me a "pariah", then I don't have a problem with it.

Your sign-up date in 2002. That's five years after your claim of being here since '97. You are either a liar, a lurker who didn't join until '02, or a retread.

You obviously gave paid very little attention to FR in all of that time. If you had, you would have read the many threads which have detailed how many different news articles and pictures are used to inflame the rabid nutters to attack our troops, none military innocents, and even reporters ( you never heard of Pearl or any of the other hostages who were beheaded, I suppose ) have been killed and/or tortured.

The laws of physics come into play here, for every action there is a reaction; actions have consequences. But you deny that to be true. Neither have you answered my questions about why they pictures should be released, nor the one about why we have ALWAYS had censorship of wartime articles and pictures.

Are you old enough to have seen that very famous picture taken during the Nam War, of a man being shot in the street? At that time, there was no factual reporting about who he was, nor why he was shot. The picture was used as pure propaganda, against our being there, by the American MSM. It worked; but it was a disingenuous and disgusting piece of flimflam.

The man was a notorious VietCong leader, who had been responsible for many murders and worse. The facts of the matter were never told at that time and only came out many decades after the harm had been done.

More recently, as I have stated earlier on this thread, Newsweek printed a spurious and fallacious story about a Koran being flushed down a toilet in Gitmo. The news raced around the world and low and behold, there WAS an Islamonazi attack, which wouldn't have taken place, had that garbage not been printed. Cause...effect.

And that is but one example, which you think didn't happen.

Before you tell me that it would have happened anyway, or wasn't the cause, you should be apprised of the fact that the perpetrators said that that was why they did it. Were they lying? And if you say that is so, how do you know that for a certitude?

Yes, you've taken a stand, a stand that places you in the same camp as the ACLU and an Islamonazi prof. You are know by the company you keep and that company smells to high heaven.
