I'm getting really tired of seeing nothing but shock news. We've seen pictures of the detainees at Abu Ghraib! This is not news anymore! Why don't you cover a story about all of our military members in history that were POW's? What kind of torture did they endure? How did the Abu Ghraib detainees expect to be treated when they were captured? It's too bad that the Abu Ghraib summer camp didn't have a nice swimming hole or an arts and crafts department. The goal was to obtain information from the prisoners... not to put them in the presidential suite and order room service. If you're going to publish pictures to get people to come to your site, you should at least tell the whole story.
Cheney! I find it very shocking that reporters were upset about his response time. Seems like they were trying to make a story out of nothing. I don't recall the white house having a given response time for relaying non-critical information to the public. How does this have anything to do with national security... do we really need to know all about his hunting trip in order to operate day-to-day. I'm very tired of hearing the media get worked up over nothing.
I would really like to see a site take some responsibility for what they report... list all of the facts, not just what they think will shock the readers. Why not be the first?
