Bays Columbus, OH	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #2 Sep 10, 2010 Judged: 1 1 1 I saw this on the new yesterday morning and it was scary. They were questioning a villager if he had seen the Taliban. He answered yes, and where he saw them. The interpreter than tells our military, the man hadn't seen a thing. The villager was confused as to why our troops just walked away. SCARY!

ALEX Leesburg, VA	Reply » \| Report Abuse \| Judge it! \| #6 Sep 10, 2010 One certainly should expect Mission Essential Personnel (MEP), now having their Corporate Delay and Diversion Lawyers (not peoples' Trial Lawyers) working full-time with MEP Corporate Communications, to escape both responsibility and accountability in this case. After all, it IS the Corporate Way!!!

While scum;they're smaller and less stinky scum than The Scum Lords,like Rumsfeld,Cheney & Co.,that create PRIVATIZATION profit opportunities for their scummy co-conspirators out of what used to be rightful military and governmental fuctions wherein PROFIT was irrelevant.

About 100+ PRIVATE Intelligence and Para-Military Contractors Aysswipes that build Electric Showers that kill American Troopers Need I continue?
