CNN reporter gang raped rumor |
|
Please understand, all I have now is the rumor-mill. Apparently, CNN has a history of not reporting on violence in Iraq, so their not reporting on this would be "normal".
What I was told is that a CNN reporter, assumed female, was captured and gang raped...by US forces. This was told by someone undercover that cannot reveal his name or source. But what he said about her was...he's surprised no one has noticed she isn't reporting anymore. No one has noticed, and CNN is covering it up. Gee, how'd you like to work for those folks, eh?
I'm wondering if there's any truth to it, where she is now, and if anyone has heard about this. If it's true, I'm looking for details. I want to know what happened, and, who did it. Our soldiers? I'd like to know.
and if it's true, I want EVERYONE to know.

I noticed she has not been on for a while. She has been embedded with US forces for months.

5. This is too serious to go unattributed |
|
We need some sort of story other than rumor.
Not faulting you,whatever; I just think we shouldn't be pushing rumors.
I agree, if true, this is BIG news.

8. To spread this rumor without any sort of basis is despicable |
|
This is exactly why the GOP and Right wing crazies get so far when they accuse the left and Democrats of not respecting the troops and trying to drag them down!!!
Perpetrating this rumor is a disservice to our men and women in the military. If it is true THOSE WHO ARE RESPONSIBLE should be held accountable, but to just throw around the term "a group of US military" come on!! thats insane. Get the facts and then come back - until then keep your mouth shut.

10. I thought we had to post more than RUMOR ... ? |
|
I am not accusing you of having some kind of nefarious plan ... but, with out any back up to news items, what prevents people from infiltrating DU and posting ridiculous things based on what they call rumor or innuendo?
