More "fair and balanced" than FOX, despite Rumsfield claims of propaganda, which they ALL use to some extent. And NO, the Editorial page generally is not in America's favor. But eventually this news will make it to CNN -White House is just angry because they cannot "vet" them....the WH attempted to force the sale of al-Jazeera news in Qatar, a Democracy. Can we sue the media for telling us half-truths?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk British online newspaper - a "rightie" - George Galloway successfully sued them when they accused him of getting kickbacks in the UN Oil-for- Food. Noticed Sen. Coleman failed to mention this....from the look on Coleman’s face, he could not believe someone had the nerve to stand there and tell the truth in such a manner to…. Well, THEN! Go Mr. Galloway!!

http://www.gsfp.org Gold Star Families for Peace co-founded by Cindy Sheehan, mother of Casey, KIA in Iraq. Casey died wearing a Vietnam era flack vest. Prissy says this is simply not an acceptable way to fight in a war of choice.

The wealthiest country in the world sent our youth into this war wearing armor older than they are. Prissy will be the first to say at least armor wise, the troops are better off now than the first soldiers going in...

Republicans ,Prissy holds your feet to the fire on this one-or does your heart only extend to your own families? These soldiers are part of our American family... You have no shame, but Prissy will give you some anyway … you see, Prissy and the others are embarrassed for you...as Granny says, "Because they don't have enough sense to be embarrassed for themselves.” That and they hate to admit they were terribly, horribly wrong, regardless of whom dies for their mistake.

Authorization for Use of Military force in Iraq Read carefully, then you decide if the requirements were fulfilled by this document....and if you happen to be a lawyer, please tell Prissy HOW they manage to wiggle away from this? (Note: You need not be a lawyer to understand the document, however)

Most of the above titled documents can be found by typing in their title into Google or other search engine- I recommend reading them directly from the governments own websites.
