Edited on Tue Jun-24-08 04:36 PM by Number23
Why are some of you incapable of understanding that this is a NEWS article, written by the BBC, one of the world's preeminent news organizations and reported on by other reputable international news organizations??
Some of y'all are acting as if I wrote the damn story myself! This didn't come from Fox or something similar. This did not come from ihatejohnmccain.org. This is not part of some smear campaign, as far as I know anyway. I've stated at least 5 times in this thread that this is a bizarre article with strange timing, but unlike alot of stuff that gets 200 recommendations and replies on DU, at least it is NEWS. If you think the BBC is wrong to report on this, blast them!
I have to say that this post being allowed to stay up makes me think twice about DU in general.
I feel the same way about yours. Perhaps if I'd created a thread talking about Cindy's numerous and obvious plastic surgeries that would been considered more appropriate.

Sorry Mr. Duyet, our pilots were most certainly tortured in the Hanoi Hilton. |

I'm figuring Duyet is using the new and improved definition of torture |
