For Them What Care

I have to make a second post today because I'm flaming mad. You want to know why the media doesn't need to know everything, show everything? You don't understand why it is NOT always a good idea to air our dirty laundry in public? The below story is why. I was sickened like the rest of you by the prisoner abuses coming out of Iraq but I also have faith in the American justice system.

I didn't NEED to see these photos to get it. We didn't NEED this information to get out nor do We NEED to see the shots that have not yet been released. We NEED to shut the fuck up and have a little faith that justice will be done and that problems are being corrected as they are identified.

The below story is the result of someone illegally providing CBS with classified materials followed by CBS deciding to run them. This whole episode, the exposure of evidence and the exciting of the Arab community may be beneficial to the political agendas of the mass media marketplace and of their Democratic allies but it has a direct fucking effect on the security of men and women in harm's way.

If you are one of the many out there who publicly decried the injustice of the treatment of the prisoners while privately grinning on how these misdeeds of a few will help your candidate, I hope your conscience can handle the news you are about to hear.

Sometimes it IS important to take care of your own without the world finding out. Because if it does get out, you see one result.


Video Seems to Show Beheading of American

CAIRO, Egypt - A video posted Tuesday on an Islamic militant Web site appeared to show a group affiliated with al-Qaida beheading an American in Iraq (news - web sites), saying the death was revenge for the prisoner-abuse scandal.

The video showed five men wearing headscarves and black ski masks, standing over a bound man in an orange jumpsuit who identified himself as an American from Philadelphia.

After reading a statement, the men were seen pulling the man to his side and cutting off his head with a large knife. They then held the head out before the camera.
