More Pressure

The Seattle Times: Nation & World: Pressure to close Guantanamo grows
I think Senator Chuck Hagel needs to place some of the blame, if not all, on the media -- reporting every single incident as a negative even before any investigation is STARTED... Amazing the same people that "say"(?) they care so much about world opinion, the left, are the same ones that drag the US military and the country through the mud just to "get President Bush" (yet another example of the ends justifying the means in their minds and hate-filled hearts).
But Sen. Chuck Hagel, R-Neb. said the situation in Guantanamo is one reason why the United States is 'losing the image war around the world,' and suggested closing the prison could help.
'It's identifiable with, for right or wrong, a part of America that people in the world believe is a power, an empire that pushes people around; we do it our way, we don't live up to our commitments to multilateral institutions,' Hagel told CNN's 'Late Edition.'
Just drive my point home -- 32 successive New York Times front page articles on Abu Ghraib since May 1st, unbelievable. (Hat tip: Little green footballs)
