Don't forget, freepers didn't believe CBS over the prison abuse scandal
until they had video/proof of it. Freepers/Bush lovers hate CBS for exposing this & have had a vendetta with them for awhile. My mom said alot of extreme conservatives hated Katherine Graham & the Washington Post when Watergate broke as well.Anyone remember all the hate towards CBS when they broke the Abu Graihb story? Why hell, even Pat Boone lashed out CBS for being anti-American! How dare CBS expose the truth during a time of war!

Since the Bush Administartion DOES NOT ALLOW flag draped Coffin photos to be released by the media, CBS has done the next best thing. They are the ONLY network to pay honor to our fallen troops EVERY NIGHT! Oh, & who does the voice overs for the mini-profile of our fallen heros? That anti-American filth, Dan Rather!

My question to everyone who lashes that these memos are fake is, "What makes you so sure?" I mean, CBS has ALOT to loose if they were & CBS has built years upon years of credibilty. I think CBS should just say, "If you think these memos are fake then sue us!Let a Judge decide & make an example of us!" Bush & co. woul NEVER do this in fear that they may be proven legit!

2. Torture - not abuse - it was torture and put a lot of people at
risk because of it - beheading came from that mess - the iraqis knew this was going on two years before we did and so did the WH and so did the Red Cross and so did Amnesty - the american people were last to know

4. Well they would probably throw in our face that Kerry
didn't sue the SBVFT either. Does that make their story true? For the record, I think the memo is genuine.

Sounds like he is blaming Cy Hersh because he thinks the source of the "memo" is the same as realeased the Abu Garib photos.

6. I listen to Fallen Heroes nearly every night as well.
It makes me so sad to hear their stories about the wonderful futures these great people have had stolen from them.
