It seems that not only is Reuters biasing the headlines etc. against our side, they're now doctoring photos to actively create propaganda for our enemies.
Really, I have to say that I cannot comprehend this mentality. I honestly don't think they want their wives to live under the chador. I honestly don't think they want all gay teenagers hung in the nearest public square. I honestly don't think they want to witness the massacre of millions of Jews in Israel. So, what exactly are they thinking? It's one thing to want to be even-handed—misguided, deeply misguided, in wartime—but actively supporting the enemy? What are they thinking?

This is like, two days old already. Sigh, how time flies on the internet.
What? You think everyone who works for Reuters is western?
The problem is that our news media depends on them and takes them at face value.
I think george is right. they are telling the folks they hate them. But it would never occur to them that the folks won't just suck it up and give them spending money anyway. They think it makes them look independent and brave to spit in the eye of the powers that be.
From having talked to these people, I think many of them really believe that we are not in a real war. They really believe that Muslims can not hurt us, and to think that they could is racist.
When I bring up the possibility of nuclear weapons being used by Jihadis they look at me like I'm a crazy paranoid.
Thing is, I have a feeling that if nukes are used, this type of person will blame that on Bush too.

I think there are too many armchair generals out there.
