letter I see that her news source she quotes is CNN and that tells

me why she is all upset about Abu Ghraib. CNN and the great majority

of the mainstream media including newspapers and magazines have plastered

the public with images of what a few people (7 out of 138,000) did

while ignoring the other killings perpetrated by the Islamic terrorists.

Has Ms. Eska-Thedra seen the

video of ambulances of the UNRA and Red Crescent being used to carry

weapons and terrorists while protected by the equivalent of the Red

Cross logo? May I suggest she try Fox for a while; at least they do

not present a one sided version.

As far as reporters getting

killed, they know the risk they take when they become war reporters;

so do contractors. If our troops were there those terrorists would

not live very long.

Now we've had the attack

in Saudi Arabia, who were the terrorists looking for? Westerners and

Americans! Does that send the message that we are the targets? Do we

understand that an ocean or oceans will not make us safe? Oceans did

not prevent 9-11.

As far as Guantanamo, leave

that alone because I know more about that one than many people do.

I remember the quote of some of the prisoners released about having

it better than at home in Guantanamo. One of the prisoners released

from Abu Ghraib protested he could not go home after the pictures,

that he was disgraced, so when asked where would he wanted to go, he

blurted, The U.S.!

The problem is that most of

the media is against Bush, and together with most Democrats their hatred

of a president that is doing what he said he would do burns in them

24-7.

That is the reason why we

don't get stories like the one of the Iraqi businessmen who had

their right hands chopped off by Saddam, and with the help of Continental

Airlines, generous donations of many American people, doctors, and

prosthetics manufacturers, had their artificial hands for free! Did

CNN cover the meeting of these businessmen with Bush?

As I write this Ronald Reagan

is being laid to rest. The man that defeated the USSR without firing

a shot, and did away with the Cold War, otherwise known as WWIII, is

being trashed by the same people that hate George Bush with a passion.

And finally today the Islamic terrorists declared that they will attack

Western and American airlines. Is that also the fault of the U.S.?
