how much more sickening can EVERYTHING get?

[datasuspect]

why don't people get it?

why can't this fucking administration concede the basic HUMAN DIGNITY of a people and UNDERSTAND that this shit will not go away in iraq, no matter how many reporters they buy off, no matter how many ignorant fucking americans pound their chests and blindly follow the homunculus-in-chief, the piece of shit CUNT that dubya really is?

i guess this story bothers me because the prisoner is actually SYMPATHETIC to the cause of the iraqi people. it's hard to reconcile all this information, especially when you try to counterbalance the insurgent tactics of the freedom fighters and their very valid reasons for their actions.

the US is conducting a wholesale slaughter in THEIR coutry . . . WE invaded THEM.



Video Shows Journalist Pleading for Life

BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Sobbing and clasping her hands, a kidnapped Italian journalist appeared on a video Wednesday, pleading for her life and calling on U.S.-led troops to pull out of Iraq.

"You must end the occupation, it's the only way we can get out of this situation," Giuliana Sgrena said in the videotape, delivered anonymously to Associated Press Television News. There was no indication from the tape when it was made.

Rocking back and forth, Sgrena appeared alone in the brief footage, only her shadow visible on a white background behind her. In the upper left corner of the image, the words "Mujahedeen Without Borders" appeared in digital red Arabic script -- a previously unheard-of group.

"I ask the Italian government, the Italian people struggling against the occupation, I ask my husband, 'Please, help me,'" Sgrena said in French. "You must do all you can to end the occupation. I'm counting on you, you can help me."
