CNN: Priorities set
This pretty much lays it out. From CNN's home page:
Check out Saddam's kicky new 'do, yo!! Oh, and by the way, some soldier got killed, too.
Replies: 6 people speak up
wasnt there some law that prohibited showing POWs pictures? oh wait, wasnt it called the geneva convention? i guess we should just file that with the other documents bush has shredded (the constitution, the bill of rights, the UN charter....)
fine, if they want it that way, i dont ever want to hear any more bitching the next time a dead soldier ends up on al jazeera.

I think that one of the lines in the Patriot Act states that it's OK to use a high profile POW's picture if it can help you get re-elected.
Sort of like... it's ok to use entrapment, illegal detainment, and violate all basic civil liberties... It's all in the Patriot Act...

at least the courts ruled that padilla cant be held a an enemy combatant. nice to know that american citizens can still at least pretend we have some rights.

Looks to me like a picture of Saddam sitting on the pot with a towel over his lap.

chabali makes my skin crawl.
woke up at 5 am, turned on cnn while setting up the coffee. the producers decided to begin our day with pressing news:
1) michael jackson
2) kobe bryant
3) sniper trial
switched to npr. turned on the bbc news at 6 am. top story was bremier almost came home in a transfer tube- i suspect the timing of this story but i suspect the timing of everything coming out of this wh.
cnn is no longer a news network. it is "celebrity justice" on meth.
