Freed Hostage "Insensitive" to Terrorists |

Australia - Wood "insensitive" to terrorists
That's what Andrew Jaspan, editor-in-chief of The Age, Australia's most
Left-wing daily newspaper, says.
Andrew Bolt reminds us that the "...the men who'd snatched him, kicked
him in the head, kept him blindfolded and bound for 47 days, shaved him
bald, killed two of his colleagues, made him beg for his life, and --
says a fellow hostage from Sweden -- shot several other prisoners in
front of him."
Let's not forget Wood would also have seen all the reports of beheadings
if not the actual videos of beheadings.
Said Jaspan: "I was, I have to say, shocked by Douglas Wood's use of
the a---hole word, if I can put it like that, which I just thought was
coarse and very ill-thought through and I think demeans the man and is
one of the reasons why people are slightly sceptical of his motives and
everything else.
"The issue really is largely, speaking as I understand it, he was
treated well there. He says he was fed every day, and as such to turn
around and use that kind of language I think is just insensitive."
This shows how far deranged the left really are. And as I said in an
earlier post today:
Since the terrorists have "no positive agenda, no charismatic
leader, virtually no territory of its own, and no great power
suppliers", and lacks the support of ordinary Iraqis, why does the world
press support them and attack America so much?
Becuase this is not about defeating terrorism, this is about
defeating America, even if it means letting terrorists win. Such is the
inverted world the left and the media have created.
So what was Wood's real sin that warranted this attack from Jaspan?
INSTEAD, he roared "God bless America" and praised the US-trained
Iraqi soldiers -- Iraq's real freedom fighters -- who saved him, saying
he was "proof positive that the current policies of the American and
Australian governments is the right one".
It seems that to a Leftist, this makes Wood the boorish inferior of
the killers who beat him and held him captive. It is why journalist
Tracee Hutchinson, in an Age column, calls him a "blustering buffoon",
moaning: "It was enough that his words God bless America had been played
over and over on his release."

Well fed? It's just like in Gitmo, then. I know you have no problem with
that.

Typical liberal response: shallow single-aspect moral equivalence.

Look, if torture, humiliation, insults and imprisonment without trial is
A-OK as long as you're well fed (that's what your gov't said!), well, I
guess kidnapping is fine ... as long as you're well fed!
What's so different?
Ah yeah, I bet the insurgents didn't taunt the australian guy with naked
wimen. So depending on his sexual orientation, it was either better or
worse.

That's NOT what our government said. Our government(s) do not sanction
torture, no matter how hard you try to redefine the word.

The executions. The torture.

They are terrorists. Please use the right word. These are the same
people who behead hostages for kicks.

Please explain: Why do you discuss Australian politics in alt.atheism?
Just to spread right wing propaganda you could have chosen some better
news groups. For example aus.politics
By the way are you an Australian citizen? No? Why are you bringing up
this issue here? Aren't you happy enough that Australia is already a
Bush ally.
The reporting on this whole miserable story was more left leaning in
the Sydney Norning Herald than in the Age. The Fairfax press has some
people on the ground in Iraq. If you dislike reading the Age try the
Murdoch press. They push the government's pro war line and have their
sources of info in Canberra.

Alberto Gonzales condoned torture in a memo to pres. Bush when he was
White House counsel.
Now that it's under the spot light, of course, the W.H. claims otherwise.

The executions.
The U.S. does executions, unlike almost EVERY other developed country in
the world, with the exception of Japan, and then they don't do it quite
often.
The torture.
- Authorized by Gonzales
- Reported by ex-Gitmo detainees
- and in any case performed by proxy through *rendition*
Before you start bullshitting, *rendition* has been officially confirmed
by the CIA.

They're terrorists, alright, and the U.S. army are war criminals.
