Better to erase the footage than to erase journalists.

I'm not shure I agree totally with that statement. They are after all the ENEMEDIA!

I don't think they should be allowed to erase the film unless they also ram the cameras so far up the media slugs' butts that they can take snapshots by blinking their eyes.

"Sorry, sir, it's regulations."

This is hilarious.
He should have said, "What is all the fuss about? I'm sure you already have copes in Photoshop*."




*Photoshop is a well known photo altering software program for those who don't know.

"a homicide bombing"

WTF is "a homicide bombing" (sic).

Surely the whole point of bombing is to commit homicide, it is thus at best a tautology.

Also shouldn't any journalist worth their salt know that it should be "AN homicide bombing"?

Exactly. They don't need actual footage. They just make it up anyway.

The next war, we need to ban all journalists that don't wear a uniform and arrest any that aren't.

"AP's journalists in Afghanistan are trained, accredited professionals"

Pull the other one, AP. No one believes anything you say anymore.

Agreed. Somewhere along the way we started treated this war like it was some kind of police action--just like the Dems wanted.
