#1 For bickering Americans back home, Abu Ghraib is a "Stalag," but for the terrorists it's apparently a rest stop before resuming their hunt for Americans.

Man, I get sick of the wringing-hand, bleeding heart, self-righteous, do-gooders who worry more about the enemy and make life enormously more difficult for soldiers such as Lt. Col. Kurilla. Everyone has an opinion about places like Abu Ghraib--mostly people who are safely enscounced here and have not been over there. While they are busy tearing down America and talking about how bad this country is and trying to make a country club for the terrorists, the Kurillas are getting shot by former released detainees. The MSM has jumped all over the Abu Ghraib story ad nauseum. We should embed some of these so called journalists with the soldiers who are going door-to-door. Maybe they would begin to appreciate what our guys go through. Just maybe they would not set themselves up as the arbiters of everyone's morals.

#2 And it will continue because even though he can't be reelected, Pres. Bush still refuses to direct DOJ to start grand jury actions for Treason. Too many have crossed over the materially adding and abetting line. They are indeed providing the enemy means and abilities during time of war.

#3 On second thought, could LTC Kurilla sue in civil court Seymour Hersh and elements of the MSM for promoting an environment which is hostile in his work place? While the environment is by its very nature violent, have the parties conspired to make the environment even more dangerous?

#4 On third thought... whould you want someone like Matt Lauer or Katie Couric in your foxhole?

Did '~~Good Morning~~ We hate america' even mention Kurilla beign shot? (outside of their bodybag scorecard?) Or any of the good things which are being done? Yet they spent a fucking year on what a few misfits did in Abu Ghraib a couple of nights...
