Where the the media's responsibility?

Let's look at facts. So far he have 7 people who put panties on prisoners' heads. It is now approaching a month at the top of the news cycle.

The term overkill seems woefully inadequate.

There may be few who want to lose the war in Iraq, but there are many who want to lose for the time being in order to achieve their political aims. They think there's a difference - that the latter serves a greater good.

While information dissemination is an important role of government, it is not the primary one. In a democratic society, we should be able to depend upon those whose job it is to desseminate information to behave with ethics, honesty and responsbility.

At this moment, they are not.

I know some people may feel vindicated with their anti-war position if the United States doesn't achieve all their goals. But I don't think they want that to happen.

Kind of like a "I told you so, Unfortunately" kind of position.

I think understanding that is the key to understanding the other side.

But it isn't and they don't. Every time the media pundits have been proven wrong, or premature, the story is trampled by the goalpost movers.

These actions speak much louder than tacking on insincere disclaimers like "unfortunately" to sentences that start "I told you so..."
