Freed CBS Reporter Hates America

CBS reporter Richard Butler, kidnapped by terrorists and held for two months before being freed by Iraqi troops, says it was better than being taken into custody by Americans.

Butler said he felt it was better to be kidnapped in Iraq then taken into custody by Americans in Afghanistan.

“I was pleased I wasn’t being mortarboarded in Guantanamo or being held for six and a half years like an Al-Jazeera cameraman, for instance,” he said.

I think we have a new candidate for most despicable (and stupid—“mortarboarded?”) mainstream media comment of the week.
