The folks at U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) asked me if they could send me updates about our war against enemies in places like Iraq and Afghanistan. I told them sure, because I figured there are times they are trying to get out information that you and I might want to know about, but the MSM is probably not going to report it. Although I’m sure CENTCOM sends them press releases.
This latest piece of information from them interests me greatly and probably you too, but lets see if you can find a US based MSM outlet that says much about it. If they say anything at all I’m sure it will be less than they say about news that might put a negative spin on efforts to defeat the enemy.
CCCI convicts 27 insurgents: Five sentenced to death, two sentenced to 15 years imprisonment
|
Of course if I were running the court there might be more than 5 sentenced to death, but I’ll accept the court’s ruling 
.
Now I’m sure reports like this have been made in the past and I never knew about them, because our lovely US MSM says very little or nothing about it. The only Iraqi court hearings we ever hear about in the MSM, is when Saddam wants to run his mouth in court.
Notice how the terrorists were convicted and sentenced in Iraqi courts in less than 2 years time. Some in just a matter of months! If those same terrorists were on trial here in the USA, they’d still be awaiting sentencing and once sentenced they would get light sentances. Isn’t that amazing that Iraqi courts better recognize the threat of terrorists than American courts? You’d think the nation that launched the effort to stamp out Islamists would better recognize the threat than the nation that lives under Islam.
update 10/19/2006 8:50PM: So I got the press release at noon and it’s almost 9 hours later. So far a Google News search shows that only one site in their news search engine is carrying this story. And that site is a military news site.
You mean to tell me Katie didn’t run with this story as the lead tonight 
?

Death sentences in Iraq
If we want to know the truth about Iraq and what’s really going on, then I suggest we read Central Command press releases. I’m sure the military are more frustrated than we are, because they never see any of their

I also got an email from CentCom asking if they could send me updates. They are apparently using blogs to get out their message. They certainly cannot depend on the MSM. I have not heard anything about this particluar news release on Fox either.

FoxNews is joining the ranks of the Liberal media elite and working to start pleasing the Clintons.
