Comments on: CBS News Translator Slain By Insurgents

Anwar Abbas Lafta Becomes The Third CBS News Employee Killed In Iraq War

Cool.

Our Corporate "News" employees deserve to DIE.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

Everyone is killing everyone. CBS should stop putting people in danger by continuing the fallacy that American troops belong there. If CBS wants to keep something like this from happening again, it should speak out against the illegal occupation of a sovereign nation instead of repeating the tired old propaganda fed to us by the liars in the Bush administration. I do not mean any disrespect, but this is the truth.

-Poet, please go re-write something more decent. What do you do with the neutrality of journalists and news agencies. You cannot commit news men and women to take position into a conflict. The just report what facts are, the most accurate hopefully... Up to us readers to be critical of a news that is reported to the public. So please, with all respect...

"...the worry, the pain, the terrible, wrenching fear that he might be undergoing torture..."

Yes. Real torture. Unlike the fake torture stories made up in the press about our military.

Terrorists and insurgents know that they are being rapidly squeezed into tiny little corners, and are constantly on the run to avoid our military surge and the increasing presence of the Iraqi Army and Police Force.

The only way they can have an effect on the political discourse in this country now - is to go directly after the American news media itself to try to break Americas will to fight.

Be careful, CBS - you are now prime targets.

This is very sad; but why say he was slain by insurgents? Insurgents to what? Iraq is in the middle of a civil war. Everyone is killing everyone. CBS should stop putting people in danger by continuing the fallacy that American troops belong there. If CBS wants to keep something like this from happening again, it should speak out against the illegal occupation of a sovereign nation instead of repeating the tired old propaganda fed to us by the liars in the Bush administration.

Too bad they don''t take Bush and Cheney the next time they are in Bahgdad. They would be doing the US a favor.

BTW...Why aren''t the Bush twins visiting VA hospitals to boost moral among the troops? I think it is because they are too good to associate with oyr combat troops.
