freed peace activists insult rescuers..

[gardenweasel]

US and British forces located and freed the remaining three hostages from Christian Peacemaker Teams..... In return, officials of CPT blamed the coalition for the kidnapping: Three Christian Activists Rescued in Iraq....

""The Christian Peacemaker Teams said the activists went to Iraq “motivated by a passion for justice and peace.” Group volunteers have been in Iraq since October 2002, investigating allegations of abuse against Iraqi detainees by coalition forces. Its teams promote peaceful solutions in conflict zones.

“They knew that their only protection was in the power of the love of God and of their Iraqi and international co-workers,” Pritchard said.

He also called for coalition forces to leave the country.

“We believe that the illegal occupation of Iraq by Multinational Forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq,” Pritchard said.

Weasel, for the sake of accuracy - it was a member of the group that said that, not the ones actually rescued.

If you were the NYT and I was you ----well, I could only imagine the fury.

I guess that's the rub - American forces have to save everyone, regardless of opinion. It's kinda what we took on by starting the washizzle. Next time I doubt the forces will try quite as hard - it will TRULY be up to God to save their asses then.

""""The Christian Peacemaker Teams said the activists went to Iraq “motivated by a passion for justice and peace.” Group volunteers have been in Iraq since October 2002, investigating allegations of abuse against Iraqi detainees by coalition forces.

""The hostages were found when American-led forces raided a house in western Baghdad, acting on information ""from one of two detainees interrogated late Wednesday night""....

and that soldier in the picture with the dog barking at the prisoner is going to do time....thanks in no small part to our msm(the 5th column)...

irony anyone?...


more irony....

these folks went to iraq BEFORE the war started, and were human shields......they were housed & fed by saddam. .....they also proudly proclaim they try to "get in the way" of the military, both in iraq, & in israel.....

they are accomplices of the terrorists....the baathists...

the anarchists, the far lefties, the che t-shirt wearing, paper mache puppet carrying america haters.....

who are these people?....where did they go to school?.....where have they worked?....have they ever worked?....who were their parents?.....did they have parents?.....do they have siblings, and if so, what do the siblings think about them?.... etc, etc.


these people make the french look graceful in comparison.....

[DOGS THAT BARK]

Now some fresh pickings from the Political Grapevine:

The group Christian Peacemaker Teams, says it's delighted that three of its four volunteers kidnapped in Iraq are now safe, but if the group is grateful to the coalition forces that freed them, you wouldn't know it from its statement.

CPT never once mentions the military rescue, saying only that it's pleased the hostages "have been safely released." What's more, the group blames the military for the abduction, saying, "The illegal occupation of Iraq by multinational forces is the root cause of the insecurity which led to this kidnapping and so much pain and suffering in Iraq."

Times Takes a Fall

Another black eye for The New York Times, after a woman it had portrayed as a frustrated Katrina victim stuck in a Brooklyn hotel was arrested for welfare fraud. Prosecutors say Donna Fenton was not, in fact, a victim of Katrina and improperly received thousands in government aid.

The Times now admits it did not conduct adequate interviews or record checks, which would have uncovered a previous fraud conviction and raised serious questions about the truthfulness of Fenton's account.

Last week, the Times corrected a story falsely identifying the hooded Abu Ghraib prisoner in an infamous photograph and days before, editors apologized for a distorted picture of former Virginia Governor Mark Warner that appeared on the cover of its Sunday magazine.

ABC Apology

A top producer at ABC News says he's deeply sorry for what he called his "inappropriate" comments about President Bush in an e-mail that came to light today.

"Good Morning America" weekend executive producer Jon Green complained about the president's debate performance on September 30, 2004, writing in a company e-mail: "Are you watching this? Bush makes me sick. If he uses the 'mixed messages' line one more time, I'm going to puke."

After the mail was featured on the Drudge Report Web site Thursday, Green sent another e-mail to ABC staffers apologizing for embarrassing the network, but not disavowing the sentiments he expressed.

Vice Presidential Demands

When Vice President Dick Cheney has "downtime" at a hotel, his requests are fairly modest ? a large bed, a desk and chair and four cans of "Diet Caffeine Free Sprite."

The Smoking Gun has obtained a copy of the vice president's hotel requirements, which also include a private bathroom and a coffee pot with decaf brewed prior to his arrival.

He likes all the lights turned on when he arrives and asks that the temperature be set to a brisk 68 degrees. And to keep up with daily events, the vice president requires a copy of the local paper, as well as The New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal ? and he asks that all TV sets are tuned to FOX News Channel.
