Is there a FReeper who can organize a FReep of this vicious deliberately-misleading inaccuracy?

and helped themselves to souvenirs."

However, there is no evidence of the Boston Globe's claim.

There is if they watched FoxNews, out troops were talking about taking ashtrays and the like. I agree that the spin is uncalled for, but it just makes them more wrong.

Okay, I know one of you knows how to get this to O'Reilly - This seems like his type of story.

BTW We were told specifically that we would enjoy a court martial if we looted ANYTHING during GWI. There were several officer inspections of our gear to check for booty.

US soldiers spend weeks in the desert in hellish conditions pusuing the world's most loathesome human (klinton's notwithstanding), and when they arrive at the tyrant's palace they enjoy the irony of having chased their nemesis - and the cause of their recent hell - down a rathole, and enjoy a BRIEF two minutes on the first cushy chair in the damned and fleeing dictator's palace.

Why - the nerve of those soldiers! I am shocked. Shocked. Do you hear me?

I agree it is slanted and misleading but, is it legal for the BG to do this? There must be some kind of contract between AP and the BG that spells out what they can and cannot do with the pics they publish.

Doonsebury had a funny cartoon (it happens once in a while - it's a monkey on a typewriter thing) at the end of GW1, where the troops are coming home. An officer is inspecting a vehicle for such souveniers. The punchline came when the inspector said, "You never know what a soldier will try to sneak home".

And the soldier smiled and thought, "Like this tank"!

Good grief. After the hell these men have been through, all the PC crowd can find to criticize is one of our soldiers having a smoke....and in a PALACE of all places.

The only big deal here is LAZY REPORTING as usual. Whenever the press slides away from fact reporting, they slide LEFT.

Guess the media has forgotten the clintonoids stealing everything not nailed down from our own ships and from hotels around the world.

Forgotten the looting of the white house by their heroes.

Perhaps a little reminder to the Globe...

We better prepare ourselves...it's only going to get worse from here. The media will spin our unprecedented victory into the biggest defeat the US has ever suffered.

Anyone ever see the Antiques Roadshow where grandpa had apparently brought back as a "souvenoir" a venetian helmut from WWII valued over a million dollars?
Never heard how that ended up.

Please ask me again why I cannot stand those lying, bleeding heart liberals. There is so much disinformation against those who are volunteering to save our lives at the possible cost of theirs that is brought on by the liberal press. We should be more than grateful to the service men and woman for what they have given us in the present and the past.

I think it was not only the Boston Globe who said that. The New York Daily News said that yesterday too.
