CNN, the Pentagon's "military analyst program" and Gitmo
A detailed look at the documents produced by the Pentagon reveals just how corrupt the media's behavior was and, even more so, continues to be.
Glenn Greenwald [2008-05-09]

  • kd6rxl raises two an excellent points...

    Which I will reiterate for the benefit of those who may have missed it:

    FIRST EXCELLENT POINT: No one is allowed to talk about American war crimes unless they first denounce every war crime committed by everyone else throughout all of time, starting with the Cro-Magnon genocide against Homo neandertalensis...

    SECOND EXCELLENT POINT: Since other people have perpetrated war crimes against us, it's not only morally acceptable, but morally required to to do the same. Every six-year-old knows this rule. Constitutional lawyers refer to it as the He-Started-It Clause (which appears in the Constitution right after the President-Is-God-King-Clause). This clause, in turn was inspired by our Judeo-Christian heritage. In the Gospels we may recall that Jesus enjoined us to "Turn the other cheek ... so that when the chinks, slopes, and darkies go in for the second slap, you can joint-lock that mo-fo and put some ladies panties on his head."
