Just wondering what everyone thinks about this Haditha fiasco...

I agree those who are responsible should be punished but I also agree with a quote I heard today:

"Those trained to kill should not be entrusted to keep the peace"

"There is a level of cowardice lower than that of the conformist: that of the fashionable non-conformist."

Precisely. If the objective of the "terrorists" (aka enemy) is to fool the American public and other nations into seeing the American military as the bad guy, the media is only aiding their cause. All those hard working military guys need are to have their hands tied even more by the politics.

I believe in freedom of the press. And I know what gets viewers. This kind of news. But I really think there should be limits to unobjectivity. Maybe not on everything, like tabloids. But when regular news likes to turn into the tabloids, but the topic is war, those who need everyone's support start to lose it, and only because their actions were twisted so some company could get a rise out of people. Do we want another vietnam welcome home?

I'd say more slander than treason
