    It's Spreading Far and Wide

    I watched C-Span this morning for all of about five minutes. The reason I turned it off is because they introduced a military spokesman to speak to the capture of "al- Qaida" leaders in Iraq. The spokesman's first words out of his mouth was a flippant and patent lie about the military capturing or killing "al-Qaida" fighters in Iraq "everyday".

    Couldn't tolerate being lied to like that and having this Bush liar, supposedly representing the military, being given a propaganda forum on C-Span.
