A Flock of Assholes

John Aravosis is right, just like with Pat Tillman, the military knew the actual circumstances of the deaths of two American servicemen for months and months but DID NOT TELL THE FAMILIES of the soldiers until this week. In fact, it is likely they may never have gotten around to it, but for the fact that the press found out the circumstances and they were forced to acknowledge the truth.

When this was reported on CNN on Wednesday, I saw how constant Rumsfeld "Deputy Flack" Jamie McIntyre reported it and it was done as if the "press" had done something awful by being about to report the findings before the families could be told - forcing the military's hand.

The Pentagon had sat on the truth for nine months and they tried made the media look like the wankers. McIntyre and others have been used so many times by Rumsfeld and his lackeys at the Pentagon you'd think they'd be pissed.

But being used is too much fun.
