unbelievable....the press cannot be trusted. there is a lot of sin to throw around in this war, but the press certainly had a hand in this because a lot of them knew the facts, and did not report them... which is their job. they have failed the country. the administration is a comradery of fools with no checks or balances. our forefathers are rolling in their graves.
