so you have no problem with administration officials lying to the American people about this ? no problem with them admiting things only when they are exposed ? your right though, if the Pentagon knew about the abuses, put guidlines in place and we are following them - great! why not come clean at first ? I can understand mistakes. I can understand some of this stuff we are having to make up rules on the fly as we face different and new challenges, but don't lie to me about it. they obviously knew about it since they punished people - this would be a non-story if they didn't lie
Don't know if they lied about it, but you sure are naive to think not all government withhold information. EVERY single government do what it perceived as in the best interest of the country. In this case they punished the people who did this, which is the right thing to do. Don't be so naive about everything is black and white.
Who said US held prisoners without charges in Gitmo? We have one now: Lied Under Interrogation (and then recanted)
well given that most devout people believe god is never wrong whereas most patriots can accept that their country may be wrong the analogy is fairly flawed. religious symbols are held more dearly than political symbols.
So you are saying that they should be given a free pass for their extreme reactions? Newsweek deserves blame, but the bottom line is the extremists used this to incite violence, that is the real problem.
