just a matter of time before 'hostages' becomes the propaganda coin of the realm.

4. right. if somebody we don't like does it, they're hostages.
if we 'arrest' a cabdriver in Pakistan, given to us by bounty hunters, he's a terrorist, right?

btw, their MILITARY operatives, taken prisoner in disputed waters. NOBODY knows where they really were, or WHAT the boundary lines are.

you can believe whatever you choose, but I know who I don't believe

7. what are you talking about? they're terrorists. just because they were
inside a foreign embassy at the time doesn't mean anything.

it didn't in 1979. why should it now?

wait a minute, in 79, they did it to us, and, IIRC, we were a little bit angered at that, and it was the final nail in Carter's coffin

6. and I just saw CNN say that Bush "UNCHARACTERISTICALLY" allowed photographers
to take pictures of him with wounded soldiers today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

they REALLY really said that!

but, curiously, they didn't mention the letter from a bunch of people like Lawrence Korb, and various retired generals, pleading with Bush NOT to use soldiers as PROPS for his media campaign

surprised?
