Many times in the news we hear about human rights groups speaking out against the treatment of prisoners, or the conduct of a small handful of US Soldiers. Never do we hear of them speaking out against the acts that insurgents and terrorists commit. Only rarely do we hear of the good things that Americans do overseas, yet always we hear of the bad things that are done.
Someone tell me why it's like this?

Thanks for making this point, itd really pisses me off the way the liberal media wants to make our conservative president look bad. They show the soldier that was wounded in a car bomb instead of the millions of iraqis that have freedom to dress how thy want, go to school, drive cars, watch tv and listen to the radio.

As for the human rights groups, ever since vietnam they have been anti-american. In the war we are in now that makes them pro-terrorist. honestly, rush limbaugh was talking about this yesterday, did you know that not one american taken captive by the insurgents have come back alive. Terrorists make videos of our fine american soldiers being tortured. Where are the human rights groups here???????? It is ridiculous that liberals go so far out of there way to give the conservatives a bad name. It kills me to see this, half of the human rights activists should be arrested for treason.

Maybe the human right groups don't give a dam* about the good guys. They must love the al Queda rats who are destroying their own people and countries then are American heroes.

Because it doesn't fit into their agenda which is to destroy this country! They will only tell the bad that we do! If they denounce the Muslim Jihadist, they will be agreeing with the President and that's not gonna happen!

they cry about how murderers and terrorists are treated unfairly at gitmo but when an American or one of it's allies is kidnapped, tortured, beheaded and body stripped and drug through the streets they are noticeably quiet.

Those *** holes are probably sending out love letters to the terrorists.

I think its the higher powers only letting the media show whats what really. anyne has to know that where there is war there is an after effect which trails it. so it is expected that there are going to be many deaths and casualties. Did you ever read a mark twain's 'the war prayer?

"I come from the Throne--bearing a message from
Almighty God!" The words smote the house with a shock; if the
stranger perceived it he gave no attention. "He has heard the
prayer of His servant your shepherd, and will grant it if such
shall be your desire after I, His messenger, shall have explained
to you its import--that is to say, its full import. For it is like
unto many of the prayers of men, in that it asks for more than
he who utters it is aware of--except he pause and think.
"God's servant and yours has prayed his prayer. Has he
paused and taken thought? Is it one prayer? No, it is two--one
uttered, the other not. Both have reached the ear of Him Who
heareth all supplications, the spoken and the unspoken. Ponder
this--keep it in mind. If you would beseech a blessing upon
yourself, beware! lest without intent you invoke a curse upon a
neighbor at the same time. If you pray for the blessing of rain
upon your crop which needs it, by that act you are possibly
praying for a curse upon some neighbor's crop which may not
need rain and can be injured by it.

"You have heard your servant's prayer--the uttered part
of it. I am commissioned of God to put into words the other
part of it--that part which the pastor--and also you in your hearts-
-fervently prayed silently. And ignorantlyy and unthinkingly?
God grant that it was so! You heard these words: 'Grant us the
victory, O Lord our God!' That is sufficient. the *whole* of
the uttered prayer is compact into those pregnant words.
Elaborations were not necessary. When you have prayed for
victory you have prayed for many unmentioned results which
follow victory--*must* follow it, cannot help but follow it.
Upon the listening spirit of God fell also the unspoken part of
the prayer. He commandeth me to put it into words. Listen!

"O Lord our Father, our young patriots, idols of our
hearts, go forth to battle--be Thou near them! With them--in
spirit--we also go forth from the sweet peace of our beloved
firesides to smite the foe. O Lord our God, help us to tear their
soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their
smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us
to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their
wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble
homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of
their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn
them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the
wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst,
sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter,
broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge
of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord,
blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter
pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their
tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet!
We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of
Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that
are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts.
Amen.
(*After a pause.*) "Ye have prayed it; if ye still desire
it, speak! The messenger of the Most High waits!"

It was believed afterward that the man was a lunatic,
because there was no sense in what he said.

Maybe the soldiers should not have been there in the first place.

Once again, the phrase "I support the troops" now means absolutely NOTHING.
