did any one watch Night Line last night?
I caught about 10-15 min. on the mobile hospitals in Iraq.... Being a doctor I find what those guys are doing amazing and the care our soldiers are getting seems to be top notch. What I don't understand is why is this the 1st time we are seeing our soldiers getting this care and at 11:30 pm.... I saw the one soldier describe how he has seen trucks blown up daily by IEDs and recall how another soldier in his troop lost a leg and still another killed, he himself has shrapnel in his belly....

have we not seen journalism like this because of the "left wing bias" or the fear of being labeled as such or has the pentagon been censoring such coverage of our wounded brave soldiers???

1. it's something about us too
sometimes they DO show this stuff in the MSM, but it seems to go in one public ear and out the other. Collectively we aren't paying attention.

2. There is no MSM "left wing bias."

And, yes, the pentagon has censored news coverage of the dead and wounded. Why do you think the planes bearing the dead and wounded fly in under cover of darkness with no press coverage or families allowed? A good website/blog is the Memory Hole. There are well over 20,000 wounded American soldiers.
