Subject: RE: BS: Peter Arnett
Right ideas, wrong words? Hmmmmm? What Peter Arnett did was echo the thoughts that you'll find buried in the Washington Post, New York Times and others. Maybe it was a timing thing? With the media being micro-managed, with the "embedded" journalists, heck, I'm beginning to think we'd be better off not knowing a danged thing. At least it wouldn't have been bleeached out and edited before offered as news in entertainment wrappings.

Of course, I jest here, but really. Censorship is so blattent in the reporting of this war to the American people, that the people are not being given anything upon which to judge for themselves.

And for God's sake... or the sake of NASCAR, what ever it that turns you on, lets set aside words like "treason" for folks that don't happen to hold one's point of view. "Treason" is *not* an issue here.

And lets also not loose fact that the US was born in adversity and difference of opinion. Anyone wanting to declare they own the high road is going to have to go beyond the "declaration stage" and bring some ideas to the table. It's the American way.
