Human rights organizations, and others, often make the argument that we should follow the Geneva Conventions because if we do not, then our opponents in future wars would use that as an excuse to mistreat American soldiers that they capture. This argument is often applied (bizarrely) by human rights organizations to terrorists who do not […]
As we go through Saddam's extensive files and continue to try to bring order to Iraq, Bush's "lies" are starting to fall apart come true. There are no WMDs in Iraq. Saddam Hussein had nothing to do with 9/11. These don't get appropriate play in the old media -- and it's a big reason why […]
So I watched NBC's "Meet the Press." The segment of interest was a "debate" between Republican Rep. Duncan Hunter and Democrat presidential hopeful, Dennis Kucinich. First, does Dennis Kucinich really represent the Democratic Party on the issue of Iraq? Or is this really a case of conservative media bias? Second, when is Kucinich going to […]
Well, you knew there was never going to be a clean sweep. The New York Times editorial page opines on the discovery of a sarin-filled artillery shell rigged to be a roadside bomb. The Times has been among those assailing President Bush in recent months for flawed intelligence and the failure to find any weapons […]

Filmmaker Michael Moore recently got quite a bit of press after revealing to the world that (surprise!) Disney didn't want to distribute his latest piece of anti-American, hate-filled vitriol. Well, another documentary filmmaker is looking for a distributor, and you can bet he won't get nearly the press that the bloviating Moore did. THE tape […]
We haven't found Saddam's stockpiles of chemical weapons, but we have found at least two chemical weapons in Iraq. At the very least, this should put the lie to the idea that Saddam Hussein was telling the truth when he said Iraq had destroyed all of its WMDs. However, liberal opponents of the war (those […]
A day after most other newspaper editorial pages had weighed in on the brutal execution of Nick Berg, the New York Times has its say -- and they still don't get it. But this manipulative attempt to establish a moral equivalence between the gruesome execution of Mr. Berg and the torture of Iraqi prisoners is […]
The Boston Globe, owned by the New York Times Co., were handed a story with photos yesterday that should have rang alarm bells for any skeptical journalist who is aware of what is going on in the world. A Boston city councilor presented the Globe with photos alleged to show U.S. soldiers raping Iraqi women. […]
