It's BUSH'S FAULT, if a Dimocrat were in the WH they would be totally supportive, as they were of Clintoon.

Their BIAS is UNDISPUTABLE, don't get me started.

Get that reporter a big PRESS cap and matching jacket in Red White and Blue....complete with USA Insignia and put him on a flight to Saudi Arabia..... I guess a one way ticket should be OK.

HEY! Don't get excited!</> They were "radicals" - not Islamic mujahedeen that did it - ping.

RADICALS KILL AMERICAN IN SAUDI ARABIA
 

Is "Radicals" or "Militants" A Suitable Word To Describe The Murderers Of Paul Johnson?

The LA Times front page article "Radicals Kill American in Saudi Arabia" is a report on the latest act of barbarism of the Islamic fanatics of Al Qaeda, the tragic beheading of US worker Paul Johnson (6/19/04, front page, 5 - read TEXT). While some LA Times reporting on the war against Al Qaeda has used the terms "terror", "terrorism" and "terrorists", it has mostly used the pro-terrorist word "militants" in a manner similar to its reporting on Israel. Today's headline is weak, calling the terrorists "radicals" and omitting the word "beheading", and the text of the article refers to them as "militants". Overall, the outrage over this atrocity is understated giving the impression the LA Times is protecting the terrorists from the real fury of the American public. In addition, a prominent article on the Abu Ghraib scandal was inserted directly under this article to imply a linkage (and equivalence) between the two incidents. Perhaps the LA Times forgot that the beheading of the first such victim, Daniel Pearl, occurred long before Abu Ghraib.

Is "radicals" or "militants" a suitable word to describe the murderers of Paul Johnson, Nick Berg, and Daniel Pearl? The LA Times thinks so. We think not.

Teddy is so easy to focus on with mixed messages

If FR enabled Javascript in posts we could really do great stuff

Mouseover auto audios and animations as you scrolled down the post

I can do scroll activated animated .gifs and/or audio-click activated image-linked audios but the file size can get pretty hairy unless I do table overlayed animations

Those take much more time to set up unless you store the template which is an extra step

Got some good stuff for Kerry when he pokes his head up again
