[Jo March]

5. voted yes

What a stupid question. It should be, "How badly is Newsweek being scapegoated?"

[rodeodance]

9. site has someback info. --they put Scotts' comment up ONLY!!

Some background:
Newsweek on Monday retracted the report in its May 9 issue after officials in the White House, the Pentagon and the State Department criticized its publication and its use of an anonymous source. Protests in Afghanistan, where more than a dozen people died and scores were injured in rioting, and demonstrations elsewhere in the Muslim world were blamed on the article.

“The report had real consequences,” White House press secretary Scott McClellan said Monday. “People have lost their lives. Our image abroad has been damaged. There are some who are opposed to the United States and what we stand for who have sought to exploit this allegation. It will take work to undo what can be undone.”

7. I think the fact that this question is even being asked

indicates there's some doubt about this admin's ulterior motives, so I hope you all contribute your 2 cents, as often as possible.

21. Has anyone who is willing to battle Freeper Cookies

gone over to see how quickly they organized a Freep of it from their side?

Frankly I'm sick of the online phoney survey wars...they are not only obviously meaningless...they're dangerous...because so few people outside of our little world realize how they function or that they aren't some sort of scientific poll.

www.missionnotaccomplished.us - Be it MNA Day 3 or 8 or 15 or .... the day will come when 10s of millions of Americans and others stop their typical activities for 24 hours and urge 10 times that many to join should another MNA Day be required. On that glorious day America will have begun truly to be "America," again.

[jojo54]

63. O.K. why am I getting the feeling that this is set up to fail?

I've just voted about 25 times, along with everyone else here in the last 15 minutes, and it isn't moving from 50/50. Could it be that a freep from FR is countering my votes at the same time???
