Warm up Gitmo: Time reporters shown inside of Iraq resistance
How long do you think before the t-word starts getting thrown around here?

Think Ashcroft will agree with Time that the reporters did this all up to the standards required of American citizens?

1. Didn't we just shut down another Arabic news service for doing this?
Did we do this on the grounds that they were in collusion with the enemy?

So, is Time in collusion with the enemy?

3. To the first question, yes!
Time went along with an attempted attack on AIRCRAFT for god sakes. The worst I heard about those Arab channels was convoy ambushes on the ground.

To the second: Wait and see...

2. This should make you wonder
Hmmm. I wonder who these "Time" reporters got help from to meet the "resistance". Can you say C-I-A?

4. Well that's why they were blindfolded and stuff.
Would have been a golden CIA opportunity to crack open parts of the resistance through using reporters. If that happens and word gets around, we could see a new wave of reporter assassinations.

If the CIA knew, of course, which would require detailed surveillance on Time reporters...

So it's pure speculation.

5. they gave us some good
intelligence with that report. The right can call it treason, but I see it as a great service. Hiding the truth is hurting us.
