#1 Our humanity is proving to be our Achilles heel in the Islamist world. The complicit mainstream lapdog media is going to beat us over the head with allegations like this right up through November, while for the most part being apologists' for the real barbarians.

#2 What's interesting is that despite the allegations coming from years ago, they couldn't do squat to prove it. An allegation is just that, an allegation. Seems that they're not such hot stuff if the United States doesn't "cooperate" in investigating its own violations...

Why the primping, preening, and crowing in their fundraising letters on how important and competent they are as a moral policeman? Why all the delay?

#3 Can't produce any photos? My-my-my. Sorry Sayyed. The media has bigger fish to fry than pay attention to you. They are on a campaign for Rumsfedld's resignation now, and Kerry's election in November. Nothing else matters.
You see how important you really are. The interview with NYT was only for show.

#4 If we adhered to the time honored tradition of killing our enemies, we wouldn't have these problems, would we?
