The administration's game plan, enabled by a supplicant media, is showing signs of distress.
That was good for a smile. Then there was Cher's not understanding why the Pentagon doesn't want wounded soldiers shown on TV and newspapers. I'm not sure the world has enough paper to fully contain a written record of the things Cher doesn't understand.

I wonder why this and the Elizabeth Smart story are being shown at exactly the same time.

Of course there's major question of how much was her claims and how much was claimed by the media, jackals, and the Bush administration on her behalf.

Don't forget the tornados. We had warnings here earlier. Its funny, my hometown is right in the middle of the state, and the only disaster Fresno ever had was plane crashes.

Pretty much my setiments. I feel sorry for the kid. I really do. But I really don't find her critisims of the US filming her rescue very credible when she made cash of a book deal and a movie of her rescue.
They say, "the tree of liberty must be watered with the blood of tyrants and patriots." I suppose it never occurred to them that they are the tyrants, not the patriots. Those weapons are not being used to fight some kind of tyranny; they are bringing them to an event where people are getting together to talk. -Mike Wong

But as far as board culture in general, I do think that young male overaggression is a contributing factor to the general atmosphere of hostility. It's not SOS and the Mess throwing hand grenades all over the forum- Red

Eh? What's her problem with that? If the films were something like small helemt-mounted thingamajigs, or even some small palm-sized camcorder doohickeys, I don't see a problem with that. I mean, Joint Special Operations POW rescue, in the middle of enemy territory? Sounds like a good thing to try and tape if at all possible for training purposes...

Now, if they had friggin' TV news crew style filming, that's different.

Her problem with the filming of her rescue probably has to do with that it is something that could hurt her book or movie deal.
