Slander is not a virtue
In Foley, Linda
Media Slander
Linda Foley's history of slandering America's men and women in uniform is becoming more clear as we continue to research.
We are all now familiar with Ms. Foley's slandering of America's military in St. Louis on May 13th:
"Journalists, by the way, are not just being targeted verbally or … ah, or … ah, politically. They are also being targeted for real, um … in places like Iraq. What outrages me as a representative of journalists is that there's not more outrage about the number, and the brutality, and the cavalier nature of the U.S. military toward the killing of journalists in Iraq."

Now, we find that she was echoing the same sentiments just 2 days earlier at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on May 11, 2005.
Foley: "News organizations need to make restoration of credibility the top priority."
Foley: "These industries have to be clean, they have to be credible and they have to speak to what people think are good values."
I agree with these two statements, but how does Ms. Foley follow them up? By saying this:
Foley: "And then, finally, this notion, and we heard a little about this last night of targeting journalists, um, both physically, in places like Iraq, where a record number of journalists have been killed, um, 63, I think, was the last count."

According to this statement, Linda Foley not only slandered our troops on May 11th and May 13th, but she apparently held a similar conversation on May 10th.
Slander is not a virtue, but it apparently is a pattern.
Update: The Dusty Attic has a more in-depth transcript and analysis of this event.
