1. Thanks for this important story
If it was about Glen Beck or Palin there would be 20 or 30 comments by now

2. Transparency
Is what we were promised. Thank you Wiki-Leaks for providing that. I think they are making a mistake about hyping April 5 (or 6), this gives them time to "interrupt the website and confiscate the the tape. I think it should be spontaneous, but that is my opinion. Keep up the real journalism.

3. Why would the U.S. military want to hide video of
bombing Afghan civilians? If they had released it, it would have received the MSM treatment already, and a vast majority of Americans would not even react.

If it was four or five years ago, the left might have, but now that there's a Democratic administration, the anti-war movement seems to be over.

It didn't take long to justify the Abu Ghraib photos.

The public doesn't care about the killing of women and children in Afghanistan. Bush is gone and all is well with the world.

I hope nothing happens to those people. It is wise of them to reveal their fears, not that anyone would care much about that either.

Far more important to the left now is what the tea-baggers and Sarah Palin are up to.
