What I find truly insane is that our enemies stated strategy is to dishearten the American people so that we will give up. There major weapon is disinformation, propaganda, and lies that are fed to the American people. To discount the possibility that their "stringers" are agents for the other side only shows that AP is actively working with them, actively is working for US defeat in Iraq.

This is the bottom-line fact. In the twisted minds of "Bush-stole-the-election-ers" anything that is favorable to the Bush admin, even if it is favorable to the security of America, may not be reported.

Or if reporting is unavoidable, the article must contain the word "but" to qualify or challenge every item of positive news.

In their warped view, anything that is reported by an agency of the Bush Administration is 'propaganda' and must be ignored or rebutted.
