Truth = Dangerous propaganda


This just in from the Associated Press:
"Releasing photos and videotapes of detainee abuse at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison would aid al-Qaida recruitment, weaken governments in Iraq and Afghanistan and incite riots against U.S. troops, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff warned in court papers.
The American Civil Liberties Union is seeking the release of 87 photographs and four videotapes taken at the prison as part of a lawsuit it filed in October 2003.
Gen. Richard B. Myers wrote in recently unsealed court papers filed in U.S. District Court in Manhattan that it was "probable that al-Qaida and other groups will seize upon these images and videos as grist for their propaganda mill."

If we didn't want Al Qaida to use pictures of US troops torturing and abusing prisoners, Then We Shouldn't Have Tortured And Abused Them In The First Place!

Now that we have, we need to be honest about it, admit we made a mistake, say we are sorry, quit doing it and make amends. You know, those basic courtesiesies that we were all taught when we were children. But our Administration does not admit mistakeapologizeise, change their behavior or make things better. So maybe they should go have some quiet time while the rest of us learn how to play nicely with each other.

Just an idea.

NeoCons Suck!



They are sucking the life blood out of America.
Leaving us Black and Blue.

Get On With It


George W Bush says he can't meet with Ms. Sheehan because he needs to get on with his life. So he went bike riding for two hours, but could not spare ten minutes for a mother who lost her son in the Neo Con's war for oil.

So get on with your life George. Enjoy it. Casey Sheehan and 1,800 other American soldiers cannot get on with their lives. They are dead.

Why Mr. President?


I stand with Cindy Sheehan who wants an answer to her question, "What noble cause did my son die for, Mr. President?"

The President won't meet with her.
He won't address her questions.
So I stand with Cindy.

Why Mr. President?
Why did we invade a country that was no threat to us?
Why do so many Americans and Iraqis have to suffer and die?
Why can't you admit a mistake and bring our soldiers home?
Why can't you answer our questions?
Why?
