McCain knows what amnesty is.

The ap- like most of the msm- isn't in the habit of letting facts get in the way of their narrative.

AP, al_Reuters and the rest are all guilty

I can hardly wait until he deigns to descend from Mount Olympus to tell us how wrong we are.

Amnesty implies guilt. It is part and parcel of the meaning of the word. So now AP cannot write English?

this guy is a terrorist media operative. he is the enemy, hiding behind the msm, who is also the enemy. we are going to have to accept these facts at some point, to win this war. as we engage in a win friends-influence people war, the enemy comes at us, savagely, on all fronts.

In fact, it normally implies guilt, but you wouldn’t know it from AP’s reports.

Of course not, it doesn't fit the template of how oppressive our troops are and how we are illegally imprisoning and torturing people.

Of course the fact that Al AP hired the guy kind of makes a difference as well. The all-knowing, all-powerful, all-impartial holier than thou press would *never* make a mistake.

Actually, there is a comic strip by that name:
Secret Asian Man

Multi-National Forces-Iraq maintains that it has “convincing evidence” of Hussein’s involvement in the insurgency, and still considers him to be a “terrorist media operative who infiltrated the AP,” though one that is no longer a threat.

I don't think it comes as any surprise here that the ap would disingenuously misconstrue hussein's release, but the real question is: will they continue to employ him despite the evidence against him? Time will tell.

re: #53 savage_nation

The Obamessiah will fix it......

An amnesty committee reviewing the charges against Hussein judged neither the merits of the case nor his guilt or innocence, but instead looked “exclusively at the categorization of the charges relative to provisions of the Amnesty Law,” according to a U.S. military release. The review came roughly a month after an Iraqi judge determined on March 11, 2008, that the weight of evidence was sufficient to refer his case to trial. Military sources confirm that Hussein was released only because the specific terrorism-related crimes with which he was charged fall inside the parameters of Iraq’s new amnesty laws, not because of a lack of evidence.

The flag of Rule of Law just ran up the pole. If you've ever been on a military base when they do this, the whole contingent stops, covers-to-chest, or salutes. NO ONE protects his/her crotch.

Understand the mission, understand the tactics. Bilal continues to be Bilal. Freedom continues to be Freedom.

The people we (the state) employ to oversee the placement and adoption of wards of the state have an overwhelming amount of unseen and unaccountable power over the way their wards will turn out to affect the larger society. If they abuse that power, the effects will be delayed and unknown until the children they've failed become adults.

All good points. They do not like the Marines, or any of our troops really.

the msm for the most part sides w/ the enemy. this is a treachery that is unacceptable in war. the lies and misreporting are bad for soldier moral. and bad for the moral of our country and the world, also. imagine how our soldiers feel to read all that quirky "anti-american schitck " that is so edgy and hip". a lot of that bs could get our soldiers killed. how can the msm be so cavalier w/ their lives? it is because they don't give a shit or in fact are they doing this purposefully ? fck the msm that lies and distorts to be edgy.

re: #64 Grammy Cracker

The problem is that Western society has become mechanized. Our laws are made to protect the largest number of people under that widest range of circumstances, but they are predicated on a certain sense of fair play. That is, they assume that insane people with insane ideological/religious motivations, people who are easily aroused and are comfortable with lying in the most brazen ways, simply do not exist. But we live in a different day and age with a different demographic in our midst.

The vast majority of people raised in the West know that if they lie and make extreme overreaching allegations against anyone, they'd better back it up. The Islamic world has not such concept. Justice in the Islamic world is a Sharia sham, and so when Muslims get to the West, they quickly realize it is a ripe juicy fruit just waiting to be plucked. Too many unassimilated Muslims do not have the same sense of proportion that even most Western litigants have: that if you lie, you'd better make it a good lie. Plus, they are pumped with a sense of self-righteousness and grievance, sadly fueled by the multicultural enterprise.

They talk to their family and friends when they feel vaguely slighted, and their friends and family say, the West is anti-Islam and also weak and exploitable and you can use the legal system in any way you want, and you should, since it is your duty to stand up when you feel shame has been brought upon you in any way. This injustice you have suffered is the result of Kaffir Islamophobia, and besides that you can make a lot of money. If not, you can at least make the Kaffir hurt.

So they go after everyone. Even the poor Down's syndrome children. The family of the girl, almost certainly recent immigrants to the UK and benefitting from the special needs programs their new country has to offer, was probably worked up into making this into a criminal case by family and friends who are both unassimilated and viciously exploitative, if not outright subversive in their Islamic supremacism. They want money and they want revenge. That is all they see. No compassion. Not even for children with a mental age of five.

I agree. I don't know much about the British legal system, but, if there is any possibility of a favorable outcome without more cost and stress to this poor family, I would hope they would sue the British state and the family of this "Asian" girl for malicious prosecution and defamation.
