Heck, lets just kill off the world. Problems solved

Well the radical muslims are trying.

Palin is now out of office. Why are the Libs still scared of her? Any way you look at it she's still smarter than Biden

Actually, it hasn't been Noobs that have been doing it, it's been long standing members.
Congrats on figuring out how to attach a picture, now you know how to attach a wide one. All part of the service.

Actually, I thought it was the other way round, the New Knights Templar (sorry, I mean Blackwater) are a good example.

They worked for him through Current TV

Yeah, that was real effective. We retaliate for 9/11 by sending troops to a country that didn't even attack us. Resulting in far more than 3000 deaths.

Why should anyone attack us, when we send them all the cannon fodder they need?

I'd love to research this more, but GWB is still tracking my library card.

No one's as scared of her as her own party.

Really doubt that. Her party isn't really saying anything about her. It seems to be just the liberals.

Thanks for clearing that up, I wanted to check if it was anti-Democrat vitriol or if there was something more to it.

They held 2 reporters that were of no harm to them. And really broke no laws. If they were truly guilty of something they wouldn't have been released so fast.

It's like being pregnant you either are or you aren't - they either broke the law or they didn't. There's only a few people that really know if they crossed the border before or after they were arrested - some of them will say yes and some of them will say no. It was their manifestly excessive sentences for relatively minor immigration breach and the charge of committing hostilities against the Korean nation that made them into headline news.

I don't think the speed of their release can be used as an indicator of their guilt, Bill probably rocked up with a box of cigars (along with some intern stories), a bottle of cognac, and a nice message from Obama so that Kim Jong Il felt important and convince him they will all look good if he pardons the reporters. Kim Jong Il could have waited until the last days of his presidency to pardon them, as seems to be the fashion in the US, but Bill might have come back or even sent Hillary if he waited any longer.

Maybeyou guys should look beyond that monochrome world view, it might help to stop them trying to get your attention in other ways. There's a lot of grey in the world and one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter.

Not to start yet another flamewar, but, let's say... like the dozens of people we've released after several years of detention in Guantanamo, cleared of all accused crimes?
