Picture this...Usama sitting in his cave, having a cave man microwave dinner when a care package arrives. He opens it up to find gifts from friends...Newsweek, The NY Times and Time. He grabs a cup of cave man tea and leans back with a smile.
That scenario is not far from the truth. Can the MSM get any more anti-American? The latest is yet another Gitmo article in Time Magazine discussing the treatment during interrogations of Mohammed al-Qahtani aka "the 20th hijacker." You know, as an American who lost fellow Americans in the World Trade Center attack, I don't care how they interrogate him. In fact, after reading the article stating that he was told to pee in his pants and he "humiliatingly" did so; had to listen to Christina Aguilera music; and, had to watch a puppet show (and this was categorized as harsh interrogation tactics), I'm thinking Gitmo is a vacation resort, not a prison.
In today's NY Times they talk about minors being held at Gitmo. So what. You don't have to be an adult to throw a grenade at someone and kill them, like one of these so-called minor detainees did. One detainee states that during his time at Gitmo he was hung by his wrists, beaten on a regular basis and burned on his arm with cigarettes. I'm sorry, I just don't buy it. But the NY Times is certainly eating it up. Anything to make this this Country look bad in the eyes of the world.
They even have the president discussing the closing of Gitmo. Not that he will, but just the mere fact that he even opens his mouth and discusses it, is ridiculous. And now there are Republicans joining the Gitmo closing band wagon. Doesn't anybody have any integrity anymore? Just because the MSM has an anti-American agenda, and pushes it down all of out throats, doesn't mean we have to swallow it.

Damn if I wasn't going to write a similar post this morning. It's as though every article in the papers read "America Sucks' between the lines.
So tired of it.

What about Time running a story about beheadings (with pictures of them cutting off peoples heads with blood oozing like a volcano erupting, I saw this on one of the video sites), the suicide bombings, and the grave sites with Iraqi's shot in the back of the head? No, because it's nothing compared to the Americans. What a bunch of Shit! I say we just let them go and live with all the ass-wipes who want to close the place down. And tell them that they can keep weapons, like dull knives for beheading, a few grenades, poison, oh and let them carry around the manual on "kidnapping and killing". No one would laugh when a few Senators have their heads wacked off with a dull blade screaming for mercy. I hate the media, it's time to do something about all the crap they write about and all the editors who print "untruthful" news. I am not saying that the Bush Admin is perfect, and I did not vote for him. But dammit, these are our men and women who they are disgracing with this shit. These are our brothers, sisters, moms, dads who the media hates and discredits. These are the very people who have sacrificed for their freedom to print this manure. F'ing jerks, I am totally sick of this, and if they keep it up, maybe I will target their asses. Morons...

The prisoners at Gitmo are a bunch of cutthroat killers that hate us.These are not a bunch of Iraqies that we herded up for no real reason.I think people need to stop putting these two wars together.I dont care what happens to the POWs at Gitmo ,as long as they end up dead at some point.These are the people we are really at war with.

This is the beginning of the end. The press will paint us as the biggest human rights violators in the world, shame shame the "terrorists" has to listen to "bad music" and is in a clean orange jumpsuit instead of his usual rags. The "Times" and crew are simply playing into the terrorist's hands. They are going to be singing the everything is wrong with America song until all the Gitmo detainees are released to kill again.

Hey Billy--that might be true but then lets get on with it. Present the evidence and put them to death or let them go...
