[OT] Why are the terrorists being called militants ?

You may be correct but, I hope you're not. We'll probably never know.

Yes, when the alternative (going public) is guaranteed to piss off the entire Islamic world and endanger many innocent lives.

"Committee for State Security"?

I remember when Mike Wallace of CBS news said that if he was traveling with the enemy as a journalist and he knew they were setting up an ambush to kill Americans and he COULD warn the Americans, he WOULDN'T....because he's an 'impartial' journalist FIRST...and an American second. (or something very much to that effect) ...aaah, here's the story:

"....Back in the 1980s, a moderator asked a panel of newsmen, including Wallace, what they would do if they were traveling with and covering enemy forces and realized U.S. troops were walking into a deadly ambush. Another panelist, ABC's Peter Jennings, initially said he would try to warn the troops, but the scrappy Wallace disagreed, insisting that his duty as a reporter would outweigh his sentiments as an American. Jennings quickly came around, but U.S. military personnel both on and off that roundtable expressed outrage at the Wallace remarks."

Wallace later backed off a his positi>

Don't you question the TIMING of the media release of the "prison abuse scandal"??? Just like M.Moore's nonsense about "Fahrenheit 911". (alleged "censorship",and the movie itself,pure crap.[just like Bowling for Columbine])

IMO,it's part of their campaign to discredit Bush as much as possible,to influence the upcoming election.

IMO,the media and DemocRATs *WANT* the US to fail in Iraq.

I think Bush and his cronies are doing an excellent job of that themselves.

Just like any administration,they make mistakes,but IMO,it's undeniable that the media are really out to get Bush. There are other stories that are virtually neglected,but anyhting anti-Bush gets priority.

I was watching the reaction to the Farenheit 911 movie on several networks.

Most notably C-span had LIBERALS on decrying the logical and factual breaks (in exquicit detail with cites - RESPECT) in the movie and clearly stating it does NOT meet the definition of a "documentary".

On the other end of the spectrum, on MTV the kids interviewed believe it hook, line and sinker, and actually talk about changing their votes based on the MOVIE despite what they have observed in Bush's actions in REAL IFE.

Talk about skulls full of mush!

I will not even get into the partison comments on CNN, CNBC, FOX, etc, because they are predictable.

This movie seems to be pure propoganda falsely represented as a documentary.

And it is wildly popular.

'I get frustrated with people who just like to light people's igniter for the heck of it. Those people are rock solid on what they are saying and have no interest in what the truth is or what one has to say. They just want to put forth their view and won't relent until they "win". Oh, well. I don't have the time or patience for people like that."

"FUD stands for "Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt". It rears its ugly head when companies have no legitimate way to criticize a competitor's product, so they use vague inferences to do so."

Let's see how far we can make this thread drift.

I have no intention of seeing Fahrenheit 9/11, and it isn't because of the obvious bias of Michael Moore. I just hate his movies. They are incredibly BORING!

I had to endure another of his films, "Roger and Me," for a business ethics class. (There's an oxymoron for you!) It took an incredible effort and several cups of strong coffee to stay awake for this turkey. Ironically, I agreed with the premise! It was simply a lousey movie!

I love documentary films. I find them interesting. I sat through a 9- hour special on Air Force One that would have snoozed out a roomful of coke fiends and I loved it! But I hate Moore's pitiful work.

My nightmare would be a Michael Moore film that criticizes the ATF.

Dead on! What a load of crap.

I hope the guy uses some of his proceeds to visit Jenny Craig.

It's all part of a vast left-wing conspiracy.

Hey, that sounds familiar!

This weekend my wife mentioned how much GWB resembles Alfred E Neuman. I suggested she make an Alfred "W" Neuman poster.

How very republican of you.
