Interesting. Boone has a lot more honor then Zinni did.
I blame The New Yorker.
CBS had a scoop, but management did agree to hold the story and didn't broadcast it for two weeks. Then, The New Yorker decided to go to press with Seymour Hersh's article and CBS decided to go public in order to preserve its primary position in the story.
Ugly, yes, but that's the media business.
Did you listen to Rush's show today? More than one caller made the statement that Saddam torturing Iraqis was not a proven fact! The lengths that the Bush-/America-haters will go to defend Saddam.
Why has nobody accused Dan Rather & CBS of violating the Geneva conventions by publicizing photos that humiliate detainees?
Because the Geneva Conventions apply to governments, not the media.
Wasn't it Dan Rather who went to Iraq, to interview Saddam? And, not one question about his torturing and murdering his own people. Yet, Dan certainly wants to hype U.S. military misdeeds.
It happened because Mark Belling was the guest host, any time Rush is gone it happens. Rush and Sean know how to handle the seminar callers and assorted leftists, the other guys get argumentative and look foolish.
The very first caller was a seminar caller! He started off with "I'm a registered Republican," and proceeded to say that the Bush administration is "amateur hour" who should have brought the U.N. aboard. And, Mark treated him as a legitimate caller!
Herschberg is at the New Yorker and really is a smarter than all of you liberal loon.
B U M P
Yeah, I heard the first caller but not much else. I basically cringe when there's a guest host. Hannity used to do great but he can't do it anymore, Drudge does OK, and Hedgecock as long as the topic is California, but the other guys just don't have it.
Yeah, I know. But I want to hear Dan on the defensive, publicly explaining why it's wrong for others to do it but okay for him.
Grr! And the media has the videos of Saddams torture and refuse to show them!!!!
Me too. I finally went to Bill O'Reilly's radio show for the first time. Didn't listen there very long. Rush's guest host Mark whatshisname today seemed a real loser.
Zinni is a disgrace, just like John Glenn disgraced himself in the Thompson subcommitte hearings.
Seems the general has the only military qualification that interests them...he hate's Bush.
What Zinni did to the Cole, to kiss Clinton butt, was criminal. He, Clark and HACKworth sold their honor for a hand full of silver.
