Hopefully enough pressure is brought to bear to force their release. No place in the ME region is better than it was pre 9/11.

Well, a couple of those places got bombed a lot...
 
Its much worse after 2008, I wonder why that is? Perhaps our chump president has something to do with it.

He has a lot to do with it, let Grand Old Party accept their share of responsibility too USC! We have fourteen years of failed ME policy because of corporate influence in Washington which is pandered to by both parties and advances the interests of neither the citizens of the ME nor the US.

So our government is so corrupt that it can't do the right thing because of "corporate influence?" Three cheers for single term limits.
 
Any one care to explain what the hell the Al Jazeera staff got locked up for? I think I'd like to know that before I mindlessly get behind some random hashtag movement, even if the rest of the world doesn't.
 
Essentially they are three journalists, who did what journalists do, and that included talking to the Muslim Brotherhood to get their side of things. Once the military coup took place against the elected (MB) government the MB are all now being rounded up and sentenced to death, these journalists are deemed to have broken the law by speaking to them, and printing what was said at the time.
 
In all fairness...we cleaned the place up pretty nice when we were done.

Not our fault they wanted to try it themselves.

In all fairness, Saddam had it far cleaner. Sunni, Shia were not allowed to fight, women didn't have to wear burkas and could drive, Iraq had the best university, and there were still baby milk factories. When has Iraq been better post March 2003???

You deny corporate influence in DC, or just a fan of single term limits?

As Hillary Clinton so eloquently testified to congress, if you want "real news" you must go to Al Jazeera, US news is just propaganda. So I suppose they were just reporting, reporting something Egypt didn't like.
 
Murikans though won't believe anything that comes from non US media!
 
True that. Hi MMC, how ya doin buddy?

Good.....and you? Like I said I am glad to see ya back. I have been reading up where ya been. so far.

Have had to take care of some lightwork, last few days. But I have been keeping on top of things with Foreign Affairs.

Been doin heavy work myself, lol. I never leave, just taken breaks. Yes, it's the third time. And everybody should find concern with this, not just when it happens to American journalists. It's suppression of press coverage no matter who is captive.

No I don't deny corporate influence but it shouldn't stop the congress critters from doing the right thing. I'm a huge fan of a single term limit for every elected office. I think it is the only way to put a dent in government corruption.

Congresscritters haven't done the right thing for decades and all polls demonstrate that Americans know this. We're just impotent to do anything about it.

No, we could fix it at the polls by removing all incumbents. We don't have the will or knowledge or motivation to do that.
