Has Arab TV been showing Saddam's torture chambers and the mass graves?

[mondoman]

The media is ramping up the anti-war attack in high gear--looks like they will pursue the same strategy and tactics which worked during the Vietnam conflict.

I expect this subject will be amplified in the next few days. This story is already getting big play in the foreign press. Sorry if it is a duplicate post, but I did search the title and excerpting list.

CBS shows off Janet Jackson's boob. I don't care. They could do it again and I still wouldn't care.

But now they have offered aid and comfort of the enemy. They have handed over a propaganda tool that will be used to justify further acts of violence against our troops. It's time for the FTC to yank their broadcasting license.

The funny thing is, this will probably give the US more "street cred" among Arabs than anything else ...

Stupid, stupid, stupid, stupid! What the hell were they thinking.

Thank you CBS for helping the Al Jazeera propaganda machine. Your contribution to our soldiers' safety is so appreciated.

"American soldiers serving as military police at Abu Ghraib took the pictures. The investigation started when one soldier got them from a friend, and gave them to his commanders. The Army investigated, and issued a scathing report."

My comment from another, related thread:

Keep in mind that other soldiers must have reported this activity and turned in the photos. Soldiers with honor reported the misconduct to the appropriate authorities (I assume) and the dishonorable actions will be dealt with by the chain of command.

Dishonorable soldiers would have waited until they could organize some protests and give testimony in Senate hearings, as a result creating a political career!

It was a bad situation. It has been dealt with. And those in charge will be facing very serious consequences. However, shame on Al Jazeera and CBS trying to put this forward as 'NEW NEWS"; when in fact it is old news. It's on the line of the "when did you stop beating your life" favorite civil abuse tactic of liberals.

"We had no support, no training whatsoever. And I kept asking my chain of command for certain things … like rules and regulations," says Frederick. "And it just wasn't happening."

I read in a similar news article (couldn't find it mentioned in this article) that the soldier quoted here is a corrections officer in his civilian job. Now I understand that his leadership deserves blame for not providing the proper instruction to the soldiers. However, it seems like this individual at least should know that this type of behavior regarding the prisoners would be far from appropriate.

But then again, I would say it was a no-brainer that this type of behavior would be forbidden.

The major media are the enemy. Its time they were treated as such.

Arab TV Shows Iraq Abuse Photos Provided By CBS News

bump for later

Well, CBS got what they wanted. Get the photos out to the terrorist news network to get the Arabs all spun up again. I don't condone the actions/behavior/excuses of those accused of these acts. But I do accuse CBS of aiding and abetting the enemy. They know damn well that this kind of vile tripe is what the enemy is looking for to feed the anger and hatred of their people. It also causes fence sitters to come off on the wrong side.

Did anyone see Fox last night when they talked about a Gallup poll in Iraq (~3000 polled) saying that about only 3% of those polled had had contact with an American soldier? Just imagine what they think of all American soldiers now.

CBS should be fined, penalized, boycotted, etc., for their actions to incite the enemy. Who will blame them for any dead troops because of their totally unpatriotic behavior?
