August 8, 2006 – 6:16 am

Consider. This is the al-Reuters photo I changed a wee bit for a lark on Monday: Running in sandals. But, let's see the AP version: Kinda funny how cameramen from both the AP and al-Reuters happened to be in the same place at the same time to capture the only person out in this bombed out […]

August 3, 2006 – 7:02 pm

As typical with these "progressive" groups, they only seem to go after one side, in this case Israel, and forget about the actual bad guys, in this case, Hezbollah (direct from Human Rights Watch): Israeli forces have systematically failed to distinguish between combatants and civilians in their military campaign against Hezbollah in Lebanon, Human Rights Watch […]
