If I had to pick one cable news-related story that's still buzzing out there, in the blogosphere, and in the minds of Americans, even if the MSM has no interest, it's CNN's "snipergate" story, referring to the October 18 airing of video, on "Anderson Cooper 360," in which Americans are shown--everything except the final moment--being stalked and killed by Islamic snipers in Iraq. CNN defends its editorial decision.
But Leola M. Gould, of Shiremanstown, PA, clobbers CNN's scummy and self-serving arguments. The mother of two children in the military--both having served in the Iraqi theater of operations--she has published a letter to The Patriot-News of Harrisburg, PA in which she gets right to the point about CNN's anti-American behavior. Here she is, in her own words:
"I am shocked and disgusted that CNN would accept this horrifying video from our enemies and air it with no regard for our soldiers or their families. In my opinion, they are aiding the enemy and should be ashamed.
"But, I know they have the right to show it. They have the right to air anything they want. Thanks to our military men and women, we live in a free country. I just hope they remember that it was the soldier who died in that video and all the others who fought and died before him who made it possible for them to have that right."
TCG predicts that CNN will eventually have to apologize for that video--the only question is how much they bleed first before they own up to making a terrible mistake. But of course, CNN's blood, in this instance, is purely metaphorical. The GI's blood is all too real.
