As Election Day approaches in Iraq, the “CBS Evening News” tonight chose to lead with an al Qaeda video that showed masked gunmen executing Iraqi police recruits in the middle of the day, as well as two Iraqi women pleading for their lives before being shot. Correspondent Lara Logan interviewed Michael Ware, a western journalist who is so well connected in this part of the world that he is regularly given such videos. During the interview, Ware suggested that this particular tape was “an inspirational video” that aids “recruitment” and acts as a “fund-raising device.”
Ware then interviewed a Ba’athist “insurgent” who used to be a top-ranking military official under Saddam. At the conclusion of this interview, Logan chided the Bush administration for not using this man’s services:

I predict a "friendly fire" incident in his future.
Sick! Sick! Sick!
Sick of this whacko Ware and sick of CBS News to air such garbage. Why don't they just come right out and call themselevs Al Jazeera West? Their headquarters is nicknamed 'Black Rock' isn't it?
We can't get the press to embed themselves with Iraqi troops, but they will embed themselves with al-Qaeda.
Go figure.
</sarcasm>
Umm,
Isn't CBS that network that use to employ all those "credible" anchors/journalists, like Connie Chuung and Dan Rather?
You know, the one I wouldn't watch:)
There has to be something beyond emails and letters we can do about this disgusting activity. I'm thinking, I'm thinking...
CBS News often appears to be nothing more than a propaganda agency for the Hildabeast and the DNC. They have zero credibility with much of the public. Many of their young correspondents seem to have an insolent, disrespectful attitude towards US military personnel, and their attitude is offensive to many Americans. So I would expect CBS News to continue its long, inexorable decline into irrelevance and its steady loss of audience. To hold an audience, a news organization has to present an honest, balanced view of the workd, and CBS News is failing miserably at honesty and balance.
I think it is great that these vids are shown, Mr and Mrs Average should see up close and personal what these animals are doing.
If we can set aside an area at Free Republic that viewers of ABC, CBS etc can post the content each night, like keeping score so we are armed with factual information.
WTF!!!! Nevermind... this is to be expected from CBS.
I agree that this video should be shown, but clearly the elections in Iraq are a much more important story today and video of the elections should have been shown before this AQ video. CBS lead with the terrorist video as part of their ongoing deceptive effort to make Iraq appear to be mainly engulfed in chaos and violence. This is a poorly disguised attack on the Bush Administration and an attempt to distort the truth about Iraq, which is that about 80% of the country is relatively peaceful and much less violent than during the brutal tyranny of Saddam's regime. CBS News rarely has anything postive to say about Iraq. They present a totally biased and unbalanced view of Iraq and the US Military's efforts to rebuild that country. At this time, CBS News appears to be primarily a propaganda tool for the DNC and Democrat political leaders.
Hmmm, maybe so. I'm thinking more along the lines of a protest of outrage so large they can't ignore it. I want to bring them DOWN!
GRRRRR!
Follow him where ever he goes. Any terrorist looking at this, Ware is being followed.
LOL, I needed that, I'm getting too angry these days.
Must relax, breathe deep...
Just when I thought these dirt bags could'nt go any lower, they do this.
This is the same clown who shot video of a US soldier killing a wounded terrorist in a temple about a year ago that caused so much trouble, right?
Bastards!
