Just In--"Live from Gitmo" on cnn with Gen. Don Sheppard on the scene
and he's on the phone and he says everything is just swell down there and they have nothing to hide, and by god, why don't we just believe him and allow ourselves to relax about it a bit.

whew, i feel better already.

5. How could CNN
be so stupid....

do they really think their correspondent will be given total access? Will their correspondent be allowed to see ANYTHING the Pentagon doesn't want him to see?

This is just plain stupid.......I can't believe anybody with half a brain will think this is objective reporting......

23. Dog and Pony Show
That's what we used to call it when I was in the Army, and when he leaves things will revert back to normal, in other words the abuse
will start up again.

Besides Sheppard is one of the best known kool-aid drinkers, and a staunch defender of BushCo, he has very little credibilty as far as I'm concerned.

Just another trained dog doing tricks for his master!!!!
