Did anyone hear this one?
CNN has been carping about the "alleged" abuse of Iraqi prisoners. I fail to see how this qualifies as "alleged"--It's a fact, and there are photos to prove it.

2. and they also went on to say
that the recieving end won them in a settlement, who in the hell would want to keep dirty shorts around like that? Oh yeah, I forgot, a neo con would, but they would prefere that a yellow streak(im not going to say what exactly, you decide) be in them before they would agree to recieve them in a settlement.

3. "Alleged" is a word for a court of law
In ordinary speech or the press, it is inappropriate. For example, we talk about bushsucks*'s lack of intelligence. We don't need to qualify that as "alleged".

4. I just saw Sen. Sessions(r) whore
on with Wolf Blitzer and judging by some of his comments and some others I've started hearing i think that "Operation downplay" has begun. "Oh it's an isolated incident" "Just 6 or 7 soldiers", no , this is widespread and the soldiers are a very small part of it.

5. Upcoming courtmartials likely
The six soldiers who were in the pictures are likely to be court martialed and perhaps the press is adopting the standard legal jargon in anticipation of those trials.
