Always, when it comes to popping the idol balloons(Imus) of such people as Leadpenny.
What? Why does Myers need authorization to pick up the phone and ask a news organization to hold broadcasting inflammatory images that he felt put our troops in harms way? That has always been acceptable.
Besides, Myers said flat out at Friday's hearing (maybe Imus didn't watch and since you don't indicate Mik gave a logical and fact based answer like I, a lowly housewife know the answer to, I'll guess he did not pick up this obvious factoid) he had a working relationship with CBS and other media and HE was concerned about the impact the photos would have. He simply asked them to hold off on airing the pictures. He did not attempt to coerce them or try to suppress a thing.
Why is this not self-evident?
Exactly.
I wish you'd reconsider then. The only reason to have trouble with it or be concerned with General Myers is if the military/government was not already addressing the problem and the pictures were needed to push it out into the open, or Myers was trying to cover something up.
Since none of that is true and the only thing accomplished by the publication of these images is to hype a story that tarnishes our troops and the attempt is being made to also bring down this administration over it, I, for one, have zero trouble with what Myers did and I am plenty troubled by the decision of CBS and other media outlets.
I'll second that!
LOL
"Ain't it cool"!
LOL!
Amazing isn't it. The idiocy of the left and liberal media never ceases to amaze me.
Who's paying for three lawyers? Now there is a good question.
I remembered someone saying this and actually hunted up your post to make these comments:
The three lawyers I'll guess you saw this morning were also just on Keith Olberman's show on MSNBC (one very heavy lady?, two men, one-McGuire-with some type of accent?).
They said they had not spoken with "their client" yet, then proceeded to give "their understanding" of the why's and wherefore's of her being ordered to take and participate in these pictures and said it was at the behest of the CIA and intelligence (the same story the others involved in the pictures are claiming).
The heavy woman even added that she's learned (Keith did not ask her HOW, since she said it wasn't from her client) that the pictures were also used to boost morale amongst the troops! That was a new one on me.
Keith then said Jim Mik has learned that a lot of the video shows consensual sex between England and Grainer (sp?). The heavy woman said she failed to see how that was relevent to why her client was ordered to deal with Iraqi prisoners in the manner she was. (I'm just reporting what was said. Naturally, I can think of plenty).
Then Olberman brought in a fourth woman. A very young snot who says she's offering her services on the legal team because she has taken umbrage at how young, 21 year old England was being made a scapegoat.
All very interesting (especially the consensual sex videos, IMO. Shows a certain propensity and kinkiness all by itself) and I didn't know where else to post this information.
