I saw something really different on NBC national last night
They were covering the flag draped coffins coming home, showing footage of fighting in Iraq and the consequences of it, it was eye opening and something that if they continue will open eyes to what the hell is going on there.
I don't know what to think about NBC, sometimes they leave the reservation and show what needs to be shown, but then they draw back into the safety of the rover zone, and it's like it never happened they go back to covering the last blonde that's gone missing.
Anyway I hope it's not another blink and miss it episode, maybe they're sticking their finger into the wind and finding the wind is changing direction, I'm crossing my fingers.

1. I cannot count how many times I have heard this line.......
"I cant watch the news.....its too depressing." The sheeple dont want to know whats really happening, and the News Entertainment Division knows it. It is refreshing when some glimmer of truth slips thru. One of many reasons why I ONLY watch KO.

It's a habit that's stayed with me through the years, everytime I see reports like this my hope rises, only to be dashed within the next day or so. Who knows though, maybe if enough footage like this slips through people will ask wtf is going on.
