    A reader points out that Gettleman was also detained by the Ethiopian military for five days in 2007 while reporting from the Ogaden region.

    I'm disgusted Farrell is strutting his stuff in front of the cameras while his assistant and a large group of other people--including women and children--were killed in rescuing him.

    Why stop here? This man deserves to hold elected office. In fact just give it to him. His mediocrity is what makes him so great after all. Make him a Senator, maybe even the President. Why not award him with multiple doctorates? He's a regular guy, after all. Surely that means he is entitled to Oscars, Grammys, heck, even a permanent table at Cipriani. We should all be thankful to be humbled by his ordinariness. Oh and also, Joe the Plumber should be Chairman of the Federal Reserve. America needs this man.

    What's the plumbing situation over there Joe? Oh wait, you're not qualified to opine on that either. Please go back to waxing romantical about the news coverage of wars that happened before you were born. Man, those were the good ole days, before you were born.

    Holy fucking shit. If I wasn't watching the video with my mouth open, I would never believe this. It's like the whole world has turned into a giant, live production of Dr. Strangelove.

    I actually just watched "Paths of Glory" the other day.


    Not the GREATEST war movie ever made or anything, but there's at least one amazing tracking shot of Kirk Douglas's character walking through a WWI trench that is spine-tinglingly good.


    WWI imagery is easily the creepiest of any cinematic war.

    Corporal Paris: See that cockroach? Tomorrow morning, we'll be dead and it'll be alive. It'll have more contact with my wife and child than I will. I'll be nothing, and it'll be alive.

    [Ferol smashes the roach]

    Private Ferol: Now you got the edge on him.


    Maybe not the greatest war movie but in the top 5.

    I report that reporters have no business reporting. I mean, look how my reporting is making you cringe, right?


    I too prefer the nineteen-forties, but only for the lack of the celebrity idiots.

    Somehow, I know that Israel will accept any support that comes from America when numbnuts here says that media shouldn't report atrocities that happen in war zones and no one with a knowledge of history longer than five minutes smacks him in the mouth. I mean, is Israel really this desperate for our continued war financing that no one in their borders is calling for his immediate expulsion?


    Listen, buddy, certain countries have tried the "media not reporting what the army's really doing" before. It was the German media, circa 1939 - 1945, and it really didn't turn out so well.


    What an ignorant, un-American, criminally stupid douche nozzle. Someone needs to take a big shit in his mouth and clean that sinkhole of ignorance the fuck out.
