Exactly. The "C" students are betraying the ideals of our country in a way that was unthinkable a few generations ago. It's now about "me, me,me" not "we, we, we," and these "journalists", blinded by liberal (democrat) ideology and hatred care not for ideal. However, in their zeal they are forgetting that a victory by islam will mean the end of their "jobs" and in fact their lives. We are not playing patticake here, we are in a war to the death against an implacable enemy who will not negotiate, will not surrender, and will not accept anything other than our subjugation or our death. A free media is not part of their thinking.

Agreed.

Here's my favorite quote from the week:

"Some 40 Marines have just lost their lives cleaning out one of the world's worst terror dens, in Fallujah, yet all the world wants to talk about is the NBC videotape of a Marine shooting a prostrate Iraqi inside a mosque. ... The al-Zarqawi TV network, also known as Al-Jazeera, has broadcast the tape to the Arab world, and U.S. media have also played it up. The point seems to be to conjure up images again of Abu Ghraib, further maligning the American purpose in Iraq. Never mind that the pictures don't come close to telling us about the context of the incident, much less what was on the mind of the soldier after days of combat. Put yourself in that Marine's boots. He and his mates have had to endure some of the toughest infantry duty imaginable, house-to-house urban fighting against an enemy that neither wears a uniform nor obeys any normal rules of war. ... When not disemboweling Iraqi women, these killers hide in mosques and hospitals, booby-trap dead bodies, and open fire as they pretend to surrender. Their snipers kill U.S. soldiers out of nowhere. According to one account, the Marine in the videotape had seen a member of his unit killed by another insurgent pretending to be dead. Who from the safety of his Manhattan sofa has standing to judge what that Marine did in that mosque?" --The Wall Street Journal
