Is not the good news broadcasted in America anyway? I was under the impression biased networks like FOX were Torog's cup of tea, nothing but pro-war, pro Bush bollocks.

I'm not saying they should only report bad news at all, i'm saying it's not right if they try to cover up the crimes of our own side in order to save face. Its manipulation of the media to please the masses. This is a war that is constantly debated heavily by the public, they need to know ALL the facts.

Anyway, I'm talking about the torture allegations which is a little off-topic. Fuck it.
