I apologize in advance for this post...
But, I have to vent!

This is by FAR the biggest heap of steaming dung fucking non-journalism propaganda I've ever seen.
I can't believe I'm actually seeing it! If what some philosophers claim is true and all of reality
is some sort of manifestation of my consciousness... I'm really really really sorry, people. x(

What defines a killing in Iraq as sectarian?

By Karen DeYoung
Washington Post

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/20966123/

On Sept. 1, the bullet-riddled bodies of four Iraqi men were found on a Baghdad street. Two days later, a single dead man, with one bullet in his head, was found on a different street. According to the U.S. military in Iraq, the solitary man was a victim of sectarian violence. The first four were not.

Such determinations are the building blocks for what the Bush administration has declared a downward trend in sectarian deaths and a sign that its war strategy is working. They are made by a specialized team of soldiers who spend their nights at computer terminals, sifting through data on the day's civilian victims for clues to the motivations of killers.

________________________________________________

But, THE OTHER FOUR ARE STILL DEAD and THEY MIGHT NOT BE IF BUSH HADN'T STARTED FUCKING AROUND IN IRAQ.

I can't stand it... ;(

1. No apologies necessary here.
I'd be just as pissed, but I'm running out of steam.

2. Welcome to team "Outrage Fatigue."
I have hit the point where I sit in my laundry room and read paper books. Holy fuck, on nice days I will go to the park and play soccer with the nice punk rockers.

3. Well Tyler...
That makes two of us...

I thought long and hard about posting this article over in LBN. But, it just isn't news. It would be
an insult to the fine stream of information flowing in that forum. I didn't know where else to put it...
Other than the fact it's more proof of just how cooked the books really are and what poor administrators
are at the wheel, it isn't news and it should scare the living crap out of any human being who reads it.

4. I want a bumper sticker...
I want it to have a picture of Jesus hold his stomach and puking and it says "If Jesus came back, He'd never stop vomiting."
