There were so many points in your post that really upset me but this one I think upset me MOST OF ALL. Our own MEDIA is working AGAINST OUR TROOPS and OUR NATION. Further I saw that GUTLESS Senator Warner DEMAND that the perps be brought before his commission IMMEDIATELY before the military even completes its investigation. Why, I think its from pressure from the Media. I think I am ready now for MILITARY TAKEOVER of our GOVERNMENT. Its time we CLEAN HOUSE and that seems the only way. Here is what has SET ME OFF. JDN

"I am currently stationed here in Iraq and have been here for the past 11 months; I am an adviser to the Iraqis and meet them on a daily basis. I have been in many locations in the country and am involved on a daily basis together with the Iraqis fighting the insurgency.

The media manipulation by the insurgents is brilliant and extremely effective. The press has become a puppet for the insurgents; the insurgents know exactly what they are doing with these "massacres" (quoted here because the investigation has not been completed, nor have any charges been filed) and the political nightmare they will cause the current administration. Bodies are produced for film, and there is zero fact-checking by the media--the media eat up this "news" like there is no tomorrow. A couple of hundred bucks paid by the insurgents to a few guys/ladies in the town where this "massacre" occurred to make up some bad news and pine for the BBC's or CBS's or whoever's cameras is a nice month's salary for many and money well spent by the insurgency.
