This is how easy it is to turn young American kids into murderers. Give them weapons And one lunatic officer. Then say give me a body count. There were more then just one agitator. And then how many were there to cover this up?

Oh yeah, we also liberated the Far East from the Japanese. Oh yeah, we also saved W Europe from the Russians. Oh yeah, we also sent huge relief to the tsunami victims.

Non-jounalism indeed. Journalism is a here-today-gone- tomorrow swirl of catch phrases, soundbites and cartoon headlines which simplifies life into a neat layout of conceptual boxes with all the depth of an accounting ledger. The article is a piece of history.
