Editor & Publisher gets feedback on the soldier's question to Rumsfeld. Support the troops!
- Joe M. Richadson: "The duped soldier should be put at the very front of the action, no armor. The cooperating sergeant's career should be over and maybe become MIA. Pitts and all his cronies should be executed as traitors. We are fighting a war, the debate is over, you're either for us or against us, there is no middle ground. I say start executing the leftists in our country, soon."
THEN THERE WAS THIS HACTACULAR OBSERVATION: CNN's Barbara Starr Saturday:
- What is very interesting is several days later now nobody is criticizing the soldier. He made a valid point but there's no real evidence yet that anyone has demonstrated soldiers are going through landfills finding scrap metal and bits of glass to bolt onto their vehicles. So, you know, truth always lies, as we know as reporters, always lies somewhere in between what everybody is out there saying.
Jeebus. Last week the talking point was that this is okay because it's normal in war for soldiers to improvise and make use of what's available just like they did in World War II!!! World Warll ? We were in that one because the Germans and the Japanese declared war on us....we didn't go off half-cocked on a goddamn "pre-emptive war" with our heads lodged...... and now it's "the soldier might be lying."
