The Times has since reviewed thousands of pages of internal military records showing that prisoner abuse by Special Forces units was more common in Afghanistan than previously acknowledged.

Too bad the Times doesn't care as much about those barbarians beheading or blowing up people.

At least they won't be getting Geneva Convention "rights".

The LA Times is among a number of newspapers who povided false information to ABC (Audit Bureau of Circulation) in order to deceive potential advertisers and to charge rates higher than market rate for the actual level of circulation.

Why should we believe anything they say before executives, managers, editors, and reporters have served time in jail to prove due penance for their crimes.

YOU ARE SO RIGHT!

Too bad the Times doesn't care as much about those barbarians beheading or blowing up people.

Which they might want to pay attention to, since the Paki gov't. has just basically surrendered to the Taliban and Al-Q'aeda on the other side of the mountains from Gardez.

Operationally, this will release beefy formations of Taliwhackers to cross the mountains and attack these SF outposts. "A Silence in the Mountains" indeed -- junior-league Left-wing, guerrilla-theater dramatics, recalling both Rachel Carson (Silent Spring) and Tacitus ("solitudines faciunt et pacem appellant"). If you read the whole article, there's gunplay aplenty. Silence, my ass. Self-consequent liberal wankers.

.....those barbarians beheading or blowing up people.

Oh, and did I mention that, among the surrender capitulations signed by the Paki government (Musharraf may fall in weeks or months, and the Moo's get their hands on the nuclear arsenal at last -- think about that for a while!), were stipulations that the Paks abandon-in-place their remaining armories and weapons, that they release immediately 2500 Taliban/AQ prisoners held by the Paks, and that they turn over a substantial sum of cash?

Or that the releasees -- who are free in the mountains already and reconstituting themselves -- include several of the murderers of correspondent Daniel Pearl?
