I just joined the party here, and my guess is also Elisabeth Bumiller.

How nice -- "...our military goes out of their way to handle the Koran with care and respect. There are policies and practices that are in place."
And what policies do we have in place here at home for our sacred religious icons? Athesists petition to take "God" out of the Pledge. Judges remove the Ten Commandments from our courthouses. "Artists" on the public dole put crucifixes in urine.
And now we bend over backward begging forgiveness from a religion that spreads hate and violence. My God, is our world turned upside down or what?
I don't know how to respond to your post, it is all so true, and sickening what has become of the United States, because of the swine on the left, the demoncraptic party, they are trying to destroy what is left of America. Wake up, we have to stop them, stop taking God from our Pledge, if the rats don't like it, LEAVE the Decent United States. Stop the lefty loony judges from taking the 10 Comandments out of our Society, and Stop the dumbell wanna-be-artists that piss and think that they have created art. Throw them all out of the US, at least into the pacific ocean, what disasterous crap will wash up on the left coast. Maybe the left coast will fall into the ocean sooner than we had hoped.
Welcome to our toiletgate barbecue.
Q As far as the Newsweek article is concerned, first, how and where the story came from? And do you think somebody can investigate if it really happened at the base, and who told Newsweek? Because somebody wrote a story.
WH: The press has the responsibility to report the news accurately. The Press should not create the news. And in this particular case, I believe it is fair to say that Newsweek incited riots across the world leading to the deaths of 16 people based on fiction disclosed to them by a source that no one except Newsweek believes exists. Since Newsweek is loath to announce its dubious source, no one outside Newsweek can comment on as far as the WH is concerned this fictional account. Madame, you are a reporter. Please feel free to investigate this fictional event and then report to the American people the facts and nothing but the facts. And by all means leave your feelings and biasness at home.
We need to shun Newsweak right out of existence.
Indeed. It is extremely satisfying to observe this debacle.
Correct. Please hire the best lawyers available. Include prominent Jewish lawyers, to make a key point.
I just saw on Scarborough where Isikoff said that neither the White House OR Newsweek were aware of the ramifications of printing the story---
How does he get off lumping the White House in with Newsweek?
Also, they showed Condi in England? talking about this and she was almost shaking when she talked she was so angry about how this distorts the rules that the military has been told to use re: the Koran. (not that I care how the Koran is taken care of, but they were purposly told to do certain things, so it goes to the "awareness" that the White House has for what the ramifications would be, doesn't it?)
Aw, jeez, Scarborough just went on and on about how Isikoff is one of the best journalists in America, blah, blah,
And, he said that he isn't a glory hound---doesn't go for the accolades....barf....barf...barf...
Scarborough can take a weird left turn now and again and I end up with a headache!
"all together now, one-two-three-fart" in Newsweek's direction specifically while also hoping that the farting wafts over, around and among the press in general, who are certainly the most fartworthy in society today.
Yah, she tried to pass it off as truth in reporting but I found the fact very telling that the editor added it after she turned it in. And after she worked so hard to sound like she was actually there. WAAAAAAAAAH
Raggedyass, Liberal "reporters," both male and female, should not be allowed in these press conferences when they are PMSing.
So Newsweak asserts that the White House didn't know what the ramifications of a story Newsweak might print would be.
Well, now they have a better idea, don't they.
I would have had two replies:
Reply that would have gotten me canned: "Elizabeth, you are a disgrace to your profession, which is really saying something."
Reply that would have gotten me reprimanded: "Elizabeth, are you suggesting that the only news fit to print, concerning the American military, is negative?"
Yeah, but let another so-called torture story get "leaked" to any of them, and they will be off to the races again!!!
It went from a presidential campaign of ABB (anybody but Bush)--to EGB (everybody get Bush)!
I swear, these guys will be dancing on his grave some day!
Did she share an office cubicle with her idol, JAYSON BLAIR?
Instead? They ARE the offending parties! You have my vote!
