Of course, one can see the page much easier if one has Japanese font capability installed on the PC. Nevertheless:

Scroll down 1/2 way on the page. In one of the middle paragraphs you will clearly see "FREE REPUBLIC". It's in the paragraph starting with "CBS...60 Minutes". It talks about how Free Republic's contributors/researchers were a key link in breaking the news about the CBS-Rather Fake Documents last week.

The Japanese article itself says: "Random Bloggers Take On American CBS-TV After Broadcast Raised Doubts About President Bush's Military History" (sic)

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. For example, here (in Japanese, sorry):

http://purple.noblog.net/blog/l/10015667.html

A Japanese blogger has run an exciting story entitled: "Memo on Bush Duty in Military Exposed by Bloggers as Fake!" ("'Bushu no gunreki wo shimesu memo ga gizo' to buroga shiteki!")

Congratulations Free Republic.

Message from Iraq

The proud warriors of Baker Company wanted to do something to pay tribute To our fallen comrades. So since we are part of the only Marine Infantry Battalion left in Iraq the one way that we could think of doing that is By taking a picture of Baker Company saying the way we feel. It would be awesome if you could find a way to share this with our fellow countrymen. I was wondering if there was any way to get this into your papers to let the world know that "WE HAVE NOT FORGOTTEN" and are proud to serve our country." Semper Fi 1stSgt Dave Jobe

I think it is time to expand, maybe get our own political correspondents, reporters and who knows, maybe we can even buy CBS.
