Palast: Cowardice in Journalism Award for Newsweek Goebbels Award for Condi
"It's appalling that this story got out there," Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice said on her way back from Iraq.
What's not appalling to Condi is that the US is holding prisoners at Guantanamo under conditions termed "torture" bgy the Red Cross. What's not apalling to Condi is that prisoners of the Afghan war are held in violation of international law after that conflict has supposedly ended. What is not appalling to Condi is that prisoner witnesses have reported several instances of the Koran's desecration.
What is appalling to her is that these things were reported. So to Condi goes the Joseph Goebbels Ministry of Propaganda Iron Cross.
But I don't want to leave out our President. His aides report that George Bush is "angry" about the report--not the desecration of the Koran, but the reporting of it.
And so long as George is angry and Condi appalled, Newsweek knows what to do: swiftly grab its corporate ankles and ask the White House for mercy.......

We are really NOT at war with anyone because Congress has not declared war, so the Red Cross report says that the US is in
violation of the Geneva Convention, But the GW Bush administration
says we ARE at war, but we havnt declared war, but if we were
at war then we would be in violation, but since we are not at
war then we are not in violation.........danger, danger, error, error,
circuits overheating, this does not compute
