CNN Airs Terrorist Sniper Killing US Soldier

CNN Airs Terrorist Sniper Killing US Soldier Del Williams

October 19, 2006

CNN aired a terrorist sniper killing a US soldier. They blacked out the screen when the bullet hit, but that did not stop the sound or description that they went on to share.

According to CNN, “The graphic video of 10 sniper attacks was obtained by CNN -- through intermediaries --from the Islamic Army of Iraq, one of the most active insurgent organizations in Iraq.”

Are critics correct in their assessment that CNN is full of terrorist sympathizers? Well, after their report on “In the Footsteps of Bin Laden,” there might be a case.

Why did the terrorist feel confident in sending CNN the footage? They did not just receive one tape, but multiple; all confirmed in the validity of the actions that the sniper took.

One of CNN’s analysts called the sniper attacks the most effective thing they have seen. “The deadly tactic is one the U.S. military also uses to take out insurgents”, according to CNN. They seem be telling them how good they are at using our strategies to kill our men.

Whether someone agrees with the war or not is immaterial. The point is that some people have the audacity to kill our men and send our news organizations the footage to show of it. That takes a lot of chutzpah for any enemy that America has. It takes even more for an American owned company to broadcast.

I know that there is freedom of the press, but has CNN ever heard of decency? Do they think because they are “Friends” with the enemy that that will stop them from kidnapping one of their journalists? Perhaps it was just a showing to beat the competition, but maybe the competition has enough class not to show an American being gunned down by a terrorist.

My son is serving. He, along with hundreds of thousands of American Troops are putting their lives on the line.
You are furious with the left (Democrats) for this treasonous behavior so your going to reward them by "sitting out the election"
That is EXACTLY what the MSM want you to do. The media is banking on voters like you, if they get enough, you can cause the Democrats to gain power, And I assure you, if you think you are being ignored by RINOS you will be destroyed by Democrats. I am trying not to become angry with your post. But for Gods sake Orlando.....If our troops can fight, can't you get off your ass and vote? If not for the Republicans for the Troops? You know the ones you "care" so much about?

"Of course, we also understood that some might conclude there is a public relations benefit for the insurgents if we aired the material, especially on CNN International. We also understood that this kind of footage is upsetting and disturbing for many viewers. But after getting beyond the emotional debate, we concluded the tape meets our criteria for newsworthiness.

If it bleeds, it leads. There ya go, CNN. Way to go, you got some newsworthy stuff there from Achmed. Maybe we should let you guys out in Ramadi with a ham sandwich.

Hey Freepers....
Did you notice the CNN Site is editing the remarks?
If you read just a few of the comments, its clear CNN has chosen the "sanitized" ones. Pun intended.

"why I am not voting this year."

Then don't post. If you don't vote you are not represented.
That is your choice. And since you chose not to vote, you chose not to have your voice heard.

Don't post. Turn your computer off.

The only reason the scumbags film their attacks is because they know the media will accept them and air them. The media becomes part of the propaganda machine, not merely story tellers.

I loathe the MSM.
Exactly, & these are the same scum who BLAME Bush for the "world hating us" ~!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&*()!@#$%^&*()

I always wondered how the German people allowed the Nazi's to come into power, and why the tolerated the abuses of the Gestapo. Now, I see Americans like yourself calling for nothing short of an American Gestapo (although I suspect a great many of you have no idea what you're calling for) and I know how it happened.

This is just one more reason , why I am not voting this year.

If you were going to vote Democrat anyway, then by all means do NOT vote at all. But if you are conservative, not voting is very much the same as voting Democrat by making the Republican turn out weak.

Do you really think you are going to get more of what YOU need when you get the fire breathing Democrats elected to power? Some idiots did that by not voting or going Perot in 1992 and we got eight ears of Clinton.

You should be out there with passion voting Republican so the House keeps illegals for amnesty and so we get more of a majority of the Senate Republicans representing us.

You don't teach anyone a lesson by shooting yourself and others in the foot, all you do is set back where you want conservatives to go by years.

Be of good cheer, vote R in two weeks and help get a more conservative replacement for President Bush in 2008, OK?

CNN was tired of getting scooped by Reuters/al Jazeera.
