Do you think the Berg video was released on purpose by US?

Poll question: Do you think the Berg video was released on purpose by US?

It's blown the Iraq prison torture off the front page, and even provided a rationale to suppress additional torture evidence (photos & video). Gotta admit that the timing is pretty good.....

1. al CIAda black op.

Pretty good?!? The timing is impossibly good.

3. damn damn damn suspicious

2. It's not necessary to think our government could be behind this

in order to believe 100% that they'll take full advantage of it. The timing of this stinks to high heaven.

4. agreed, with either scenario

here we are again, discussing LIHOP and MIHOP

[BlueEyedSon]

6. To be clear, I did not suggest the US was "behind this"

[DenverDem]

8. No, Mr. Ashcroft, BlueEyedSon did not suggest power elite involvement.

I did!

5. Yes it is not a coincidence

Whenever the heat is put on Bush, there is always something to deflect it.

Nothing surprises me anymore.

12. It could back fire-

On the Bushies-the media, Congress, even some repukes, are ranting that the torture pics will fuel retaliation against us- and now, it at least appears that retaliations are happening- but these dumb fuks obviously never put too much deep thought into anything they do.

7. All I'll say is

just like 9/11, the timing of all this is very suspicious to me. Here we have the Iraq invasion, support dwindling, military families stirring and raising a fuss. There were photos of caskets coming home, prisoner abuse, torture and rape.

Now, we have one of ours being beheaded; the entire gruesome episode captured on tape and shown around the world.

9. Kick!

10. Do you ever think Al Qaeda wants Bush in office?

After all, without him they would just be a few idiots running around from cave to cave in Afghanistan. Bush's policies have made them into a force to be reckoned with around the world.

11. kick

15. Do you think Al Queda wants Bush in office. Oh Yes!

Bush and Bin Laden, perfect together.

[Dookus]

13. except it DIDN'T blow the Iraqi torture scandal

off the front pages. It's still there.

In fact, it draws MORE attention to the mess in Iraq.

[BlueEyedSon]

14. kick

[OpSomBlood]

16. Now they can withhold the rest of the torture pics for "security reasons."

17. This is the first video of its kind to have had a Net release.

Others have been hand-delivered to al Jezeera.

[BlueEyedSon]

19. Ooooooooooooh......

Good one.
