It is interesting to point out that while the lamestream media have blitzed us with these abuse photos for weeks on end now, there has been startingly little coverage of the crimes perpetrated upon the Iraqi people by Saddam Hussein and his henchmen.

The abuse of the Iraqi prisoners was carried out by a few bad apples who are going to be held accountable for their actions and punished severely. It is quite possible that those most directly involved will be locked up for life. On the other hand, the abuse of innocent (not prisoners) Iraqi people was carried out systematically and with the government's (Saddam) full approval.

Big difference there.

On another note, whatever happened to the captured Saddam Hussein? Since his capture in December, there has hardly been a peep made about him by the lamestream media. When will the trials begin? Public trials of Saddam Hussein will surely put things in perspective. I think the Bush Administration is making a big mistake by not putting Saddam front and center and making his trial a big priority. Will Saddam's trial begin soon? If not, why not?

Inside the cafe, Tom Graber, a 32-year-old math instructor at Northwestern, agreed that the coverage has been worthwhile. Because of it, he said, "my impression is that reporters have been more aggressive" about war coverage in general.

So, the only time war coverage is good is when it casts our own country in a bad light. I bet he doesn't mind the lack aggressiveness of CNN, in reporting Saddam's torture of Iraqis, when he was still in power? How about Nick Berg? The U.N. Oil For Food Scandal? The innocents who were hung off of that bridge?

These people make me want to vomit.
