Another anti-U.S., anti-military hit piece by "CBS 60 Minutes Wednesday" which will air tonight. Scott Pelley has interviewed the Italian Communist journalist Giuliana Sgrena who was kidnapped by Iraqi terrorists. Pelley gets her to say "U.S. lied." According to CBS, it didn't wait "before the Pentagon is expected to release the results of its investigation." Of course, since CBS is airing this interview now, the U.S. Army cannot comment and give its side.

Another 60 Minutes hit piece on our troops. They don't even bother to hide the fact that they are fabricating this story and the Rathergate piece as a way to steer public opinion away from supporting our President and our troops. Talk about disgusting...

Communist Bullsh*t Service strikes again. Why won't the MSM just admit they're anti-American?? They know it, we know it, everybody knows it, they admit they don't like America, but question their patriotism and they get all offended and throw a fit. I hate their hypocrisy as much as I hate their politics.

Ooooh.... This episode is going to play right into the anti-American crowd... While forcing more and more Americans who voted against Bush to question their tendency to vote for a Left that is obviously unhinged and becoming more so.

At least one can hope.

Didn't Lenin say that lying is OK in the service of the Communist political cause?

CBS is a disgrace! I'm fed up with that crappy network.

This one will infuriate. That Pelly is a American soldier-hating Red bastard. IMO

She's just upset that she forgot her suicide belt at home.

Once again, those of us who have driven in the Middle East never had the question pop into our mind if we should stop at a checkpoint or not. The only question was exactly where do we stop. Even if it was a fixed checkpoint and looked unmanned at the time, we stopped.

She maintains that the US wanted her dead. I 'll state the obvious that if for some bizarre reason we did, she would be pushing up daisies today.

Can we get a team of CBS "newsies" out there guarding a checkpoint?

Giuliana Sgrena lives to tell the tale...

And Karl Rove (the evil One who MUST be behind all of these nefarious plots) looks into the camera and says:

"Lost ANOTHER one to DIE-tech!"

What the...????

Calipari led her to his car and they, along with another Italian intelligence agent, headed for the Baghdad airport.

This is the first reference that I have heard to another Italian intelligence agent. Who is he? What's his name, and what's his story?

I had the misfortune of seeing this piece on 60 minutes... She is in the oft-occurring trap of hindsight 20-20, which by all intents and purposes is a fallacious argument... Given the circumstances, and the lack of credible evidence to back up her PTSD/incoherent ramblings, I'm surprised she isn't remembered in the same vein of hindsight...
