This thread was started as a sarcastic swipe at CBS, who you may have forgotten has not been the friend of the Troops or of the Administration.

Somehow I can't work up any enthusiasm for dancing on these people's graves. Perhaps some of the folks on this thread who are doing so, should begin to wonder whether there's all that much space between them, and the nice people who did the same for the Blackwater Security folks.

It's not intended to do that. However, here's a chance to illustrate to the press how they treat other people. Though I doubt they'd realize it. They are so inbred they might as well be a race from another planet totatly ignorant of the human race.

I understand your concern...but I wouldn't assume that anyone that has posted on this thread are dancing on anyone's graves...

I think we are just reflecting what kind of "respect" the MSM seems to show our troops 99% of the time...unless it is Memorial Day, or Veteran's Day.

Nobody's dancing on anyone's grave, but we'd all like to be dancing on the grave of CBS which asked similar questions about our loss of troops.

Thanks for saying that. All the threads I've seen here on the CBS peoples' death have shown something close to glee. Very disturbing. "Getting back at the MSM"? How does acting just like the worst of them "get back" at them?

These people, British and American, media and soldiers were on OUR SIDE every one of them. I understand CBS was doing a story on the troops daily routine on Memorial Day when this tragedy occurred.

I agree with r9etb on this. There is a fine line between dark sarcasm and tasteless humor. In this case I feel that the line is being crossed with some, if not many, posts on this thread. Especially if they are taken as written without the benefit of knowing the context. Tall_Texan's post is one such post (and I am not meaning this as a personal attack):

Did CBS News do this intentionally after seeing all the sympathy and interest given to Bob Woodruff? Did CBS News do this in a desperate attempt for May ratings sweeps?
