Would you suspend the first amendment?

I want abuses dealt with. Not swept under the rug.

My Lai happened on my watch and I’m proud of the soldiers who came forward and I proud of LTG Peers who conducted a thorough investigation.

MG Taguba can hold his head high too, for living up to a high standard. We’re Americans and no one should condone what took place at AG or My Lai.

Apples and oranges...

At AG we pestered and embarassed non-uniformed combatants and murderers. At My Lai we killed non-combatant civilians.

If your liberal "moral equivalence" blinds you to that difference, please tell me where you practice "journalism" -- and I'll avoid it like the plague!

Of course not. And let us not forget the few reporters who reported on Stalin’s Ukrainian holocaust. It is amazing how little press that has received over the years. After all, one might think the intentional eradication of five to ten million people might have received more reporting by our professional news corps. The New York Times is proud, to this day, for the Pulitzer prize they earned for their reporting. Clearly, the press knows best, as they always have.
