Josh Norris RIP
Well, I do think that this video should be seen by all of those people who rail against the police at every video that shows officers that seem to be too aggressive, when they are usually just being protective or following procedures to make sure that they don't get killed.
Yeah, there's some bad apples in the barrel, I'll not argue that and they should be watchdogged, but for the most part, cops are just regular people trying to protect others. This poor kid got shot on a call for a domestic disturbance! That's someone else's problems that he put himself on the line for and it ended in tragedy.
So when your job involves the possibility of you getting killed every day, then you can feel free to bitch about them.
Michael Ware comments on the Situation in Iraq
Waiting for the many sift watchdogs to scream that FOX NEWS is bia--oh wait--this is CNN? The Crescent News Network? Founded by a socialist? In league with SLIME magazine in league with the seditious New York Slimes? Never mind, CNN is a REAL
Orwellianfair and balanced news source.Both Northern and Southern Iraq are stable. Baghdad is the last holdout for insurgent scum, who will lose.
Yes, it will be on Iraqis to hold their new country together and they'll ultimately decide their own fate, but it's unlikely they'll be reverting to a Saddam-type psycho.
The American left owns defeat, they want America to lose this war. Truly pathetic.
Most Under-Reported News Story of 2006 - 655,000 Iraqis Dead
As a journalist my self (NOTE: FREELANCE JOURNALIST I barely get paid), I find it suprising that this number hasn't been more publicized. I am of the unwavering postition, that this generation is in DIRE need of its own "Deep-throat", and that the media still needs to take a MUCH more agressive stance in their role as "watchdog" (see any political science page for definition).
Couple notes
"They learnt that from the Israeli army who regularly use Palestinian children as human shields" It is SO damn hard to get reliable information from any "warzone" where any information recieved from either group is regarded as volatle and biased. The palestinians zealously blame Israeli forces for anything that concievable goes wrong and the Israeli's expedite the problem with their zealous militantism.
BTW American Politics 101: The average citizen is COMPLETELY SUSCEPTABLE to hoards and hoards of bullshit no matter what the source is. Let's not forgethow easily Clinton (still one of my favorite politicians ever by the way) was able to slipslide his way out of any responsiblity for Kosovo and Rwanda, and he was considered one of our country's most progressive Presidents, what is the chance that Bush, one of our country's most conservative Presidents would give a shit about humanitarian efforts. Here's a fun quote transcribed from some anyanomous talk show from '03. "Somehow the pentagon just isn't finding 'Operation Re-Elect Bush' that appealing a name."
Bill Moyers: For America's Sake
This idea of Moyers of a unified, transcendent faith smacks of world religion.
Farhad2000, are you really a progressive? Do you really want more welfare, more free education, more government control of health care?
It creeps me out, man! Like lord of the rings.... One government to rule them all...

A little about Moyers' Organization:
Stupid In America (40 min)
In January 2006, Stossel presented a 20/20 special titled "Stupid in America: How We Cheat Our Kids," in which he argued that the public school system is ineffective in teaching students and that the U.S. should instead move to a voucher system. Stossel presented charter schools that were doing well and claimed that charter schools are generally better than public schools.
The progressive media watchdog group Media Matters contends that Stossel ignored research by the Department of Education which shows that public schools are actually outperforming charter schools on standardized tests and that Stossel interviewed eight advocates of school choice but only two opponents. In response, Stossel points out that students in America still lag behind those in less developed countries that spend less money on education, and that this gap widens by 12th grade. He further notes that the Department of Education study, which was adjusted for demographics, itself admits that "to ascertain the difference between the two types of schools, an experiment would be conducted in which students are assigned [randomly] to either public or private schools".

How Wikipedia Works by Jimmy Wales at TED Talks
@theo47: Did you actually read through the website, or did you just skim over the front page while working yourself up in indignation before jumping back here? I daresay I know which one you did, because Wikitruth says everything with their tongues planted firmly in cheek. They have to joke about it, because sometimes there's not much more they can do about it than that. If you really want to learn about some of the problems with Wikipedia, go read. If you're ready to accept the fact that Mr. Wales and his followers can do no wrong and that he is in fact the second coming of Christ and that there is not even the slightest chance that there might be, Heavens forbid, a chance of improving the project by changing the manner in which the site is run and the administration and editors are chosen, then by all means, dismiss Wikitruth and every other Wikipedia watchdog website as the work of ranting, raving lunatics.
I think the old movie line went, "You want the truth? ..."
