Well, this thread will certainly get him thinking before posting in the future.
If you get anything out of this HITMANinMI, I hope it's that you don't have to take everything the media throws at you as gospel. When the press presents a view, find out what the opposing view is so you get a more balanced perception of what is going on. This will give you understanding & insight into:
1. How things came to be 2. How they will be recorded in history 3. What really happened
#1 is the basis for understanding #2 may bring you riches #3 will bring you wisdom & peace, my son.
What are you guys talking about??? What media gospel are we talking about???
I certainly hope that the mean spirited put-downs do not keep him from posting his thoughts. There is no "opposing view' to facts, there are either different interpretations or different values set on their importance.
And by the way, which member of our troops or which civilian was tortured and in what way ???
