Tom Friedman is right about one thing.." the stories about it [Guantanamo] are so inflaming the Arab world". He, Schieffer and the biased liberal media should know as they are the "inflamers". Their ilk are the ones who carelessly add fuel to the flames of terrorism as EVERY day passes. Their "holy media scriptures" are replayed by the Germans, the Pakistani, the French, the Canadians etc.,press.

To "inflame" the enemy with "uncorroborated charges" means MORE of our brave and honorable men and women fighting this war on terror will be killed. It means the longer this war in Iraq and Afghanistan will play on, perhaps even moving to other hotbeds of terror in the Middle East.

To question the Code of Honor of those serving in Guantanamo, even though adorned with white gloves to respectfully carry the Qur'an to imprisoned terrorists, questions the Code of Honor of not just a few; but ALL our honorable brave men and women in the Armed Forces. As long as Friedman, Schieffer continue to challenge the Code of Honor of your brothers and sisters, your friends and other family members; no matter what rank they may hold, the terrorists will find it easier to recruit more and more terrorists. Friedman and Schieffer and their Liberal thinking media buddies are the best poster children for Terrorist Recruitment, Incorporated.

Friedman and his own media mimic, Schieffer, need to question their own "Code of Honor".

Just my opinion.

Do we allow photographers and journalists at any other prison in the US ? We should never have allowed a peep out of this place.

I have a better idea.

To save America's honor, "Just Shut Down" CBS and the New York Times!

CBS is replacing "Joan Of Arcadia" with "Ghost Whisperers".

CBS head Les Moonves said "I think talking to ghosts may skew younger than talking to God".

Flush CBS!

I'm all for closing it and sending the lot of them to turkey or some other ally to undergo torture and eventual execution while they rot away in a windowless pit.

Plus .. at the DOJ website, you can find translations of manuals found in the apartments of arrested TERRORISTS - manuals which instructed them on how to MAKE UP STORIES ABOUT TORTURE IF THEY WERE ARRESTED.

For my money - and just plain old common sense - the complaints of torture are ALL MADE UP - and I don't believe any of it.

Sheiffer just continues to do what we already know .. the liberals are a bunch of cowards and if somebody says something bad about the USA - they are only too willing to believe it - instead of defending America.

If they were never allowed on or near these detainment facilities, they would just make it up..oh guess that is the same as "uncorroborated charges"..no that means it's fact; but can't be proven.

I get tired trying to think like the NYTimes or Newsweek or cBS. Dangerous reporting is what it boils down to.

I thought it was Newsweak & Izzi's lies that inflamed the Arab world resulting in 15 deaths?

Who is Bob Schieffer, and what part of killer non combatants who, while at Guantanamo, continue to swear they will kill us given the opportunity does he not understand?

Dragging the statue of Liberty into the discussion betrays either insanity or the ability to coherently connect ideas and concepts.

You better care as this kind of reporting costs the lives of Americans every day.

The NYTimes constantly inflames the Arab world. It should be shut down.

"Recalling how John McCain's "code of honor" is what "separated him from his captors" in communist North Vietnam"

That is why so many of his prisoner brothers stand beside him when he campaigns. HOW MANY? maybe ONE.
They all hate him.

Sorry did not mean to take your head off; agree but tend to disagree. How's that for a compromise?

Bob Schieffer is a dope. I don't know anyone who pay any attention to him.
