Downright Inhumane

Our Beloved Ally -- caught once again.

Cut them off -- stop sending our money to Israel. Stop selling them our top-of-the-line military equipment. Let Israel stand on its own two feet, and perhaps it will then find the gumption to make peace.

This is not how one treats human beings. Indeed, if this were done to even a dog, this soldier would be brought up on charges of cruelty.

Will ABCNNBCBS show this to the US Public? Of course not. Why are we, the supposedly most free country in the world, having our news censored? Who is doing the censoring?

If there's any truth to the adage "You can judge a person by the friends he keeps", then one must wonder how we're being judged for having Israel as such an 'ally'.

McCain Refused to Leave Captivity?

I, for one, would like to learn more about this notion that McCain was offered a chance to leave captivity in North Vietnam, but then refused.

It doesn’t smell right to me. It doesn’t seem like the North Vietnamese would have ASKED whether he wanted to leave. They would likely have just TOLD him he was leaving.

Put it in today’s reference — some terrorist down at Gitmo saying to his captors “No, no — I don’t want to leave. I want to stay here with my men.”

What do you think the US response would be? It surely wouldn’t be “Sure thing. Go back to your cell.”
