The Media Mullahs

Reporters at local, national, and international stations broadcast the Blackwater "massacre" story with evident glee. They and the prosecutors have to know that it is a common tactic of insurgents to hide in civilian crowds to cause innocent causalities as has been a ploy used against the US since the Korean Conflict. The BBC, Al Jazeera, and American networks can't wait to run stories showing our force's conduct as anything but exemplary. The lambasting of soldiers and private security guards who have volunteered to place themselves in harm's way to advance human liberty and our values is especially astounding in a world where Einzatsgruppen members still attend SS reunions basically unharried while collecting German pension checks. These were the perpetrators of the worst deliberate slaughter spree in history, but I have seen all of one story years ago about said get-togethers in my lifetime. The leftists and apologists for terror will never let America forget No Gun Ri, Calley, or that Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the self-described mastermind of 9/11, was waterboarded. But octogenarian Nazi war criminals can hoist a beer and sing Horst Wessel more or less unhindered.
