Folks, what the soldiers did was wrong.

I can't believe I am reading comments going after CBS for reporting a valid story here. Would you prefer it be covered up and ignored?

I saw part of the report and found it to be fair.

CBS has always had a deep seeded agenda when it comes to Republican administrations. Beyond that, Liberals hate the military, so they're going to go to great lengths to tear the military down any which way they can, while saying "See, John Kerry was right". Thereby bashing Bush, Republicans, and saying the Iraqi war was illegitimate. This may not be the central focus right away, but CBS will work their Liberal bias into the story somehow, by masquerading their bias as some "valid story".

Some people need to learn just how the Liberal media organ operates. They pretend to be our friend one day, then the next day they're bashing Conservatives, and Republicans.

Same thing with this John Kerry business with ABC's GMA interview with John Gibson. They'll pretend to be "fair and balanced" when they aren't.

"Would you have it covered up , or ignored?"

No, but, can I remind CBS of one pertinent fact:

WE ARE AT WAR!!!!

At this very moment, our soldiers are in harms way. All this "report" is going to do is embolden, enrage our enemies. It is TOTALLY IRRESPONSIBLE for See BS to broadcast a story of this type, while our soldiers are engaged in combat.

We are having enough problems over in Iraq, without having a hit piece on our military broadcast by our own media. Think of the propaganda value to the fanatics. This is not to say it should never be told, but, it should not be told right now.

During WW 2 did the media run hit pieces on the soldiers? Were there any negative stories about the military during the war? I don't think so. From what I've seen, the media at that time, were even careful to never photograph FDR in his wheelchair, because they didn't want to give an image of weakness to the enemy. Those days are sure long gone.(sigh)

It's not like the abuses are being ignored. The soldiers are facing Court Martial, who abused the Iraqi prisoners, so what purpose is the 60 minutes report going to serve, other than to make it harder on our military? Why can't 60 minutes wait , and tell this story later, not wile Iraq is still a hornet's nest that is easily stirred up?
