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.
There was no system in the way prisoners were handled. If CIA or inteligence wanted to torture them I have no problems with it. But they should have done it themselves and NOT taken any stupid pictures. The whole thing is embarassing and amateurish.
Geneva convention doesnt apply to the people who were held in the prison anyway. They were not POW, by geneva convention US has full right to summary execute the whole lot. Insurgents, spies etc have no rights, they are completely free game. US executed german infiltrators during the battle of the Bulge in a very efficient manner. These insurgents deserve same.
You saw those terorrists in Jordan? How talkative they were eh? Whatever inteligence thinks is needed to make them talk should be done. But it should be done in a proffesional manner, by people who know what to do and how to keep the thing from getting out. Using reservists for this was beyond retarded. Whoever organised the prison system is responsible for this.
What is dissapointing is military trying to find scapegoats in the form of the troops. Who they ordered to perform function that had nothing to do with what they trained to do. They F*)(&* it up bad. Whoever planned it needs to pay not them. Through their actions they tried to help their bothers who were being shot at on daily basis on the streets of Baghdad. They were amateurs so they screwed it up, but their motivation is very understandable.
