It was our pleasure to welcome back to the show retired Special Operations Master Sergeant James Hanson to Pundit Review Radio. James, who blogs at Blackfive under the name Uncle Jimbo, is focused on writing about the military, politics, intelligence operations and foreign policy.
Tonight we discussed CNN’s decision to air terrorist propaganda that showed snipers killing US soldiers. We got Uncle Jimbo’s thoughts on CNN and we discussed a column in today’s Boston Globe in which John Kerry agreed with CNN’s decision,
Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts, a strong critic of President Bush’s Iraq war policy, believes Americans should see more truth, not less: “Snipers are a reality. People being blown up is a reality.” Yet, in this war, Kerry argues, “People see almost nothing at all. We see only the aftermath of explosions and bombs. As painful as the images of war are, it’s important to understand what soldiers go through.”
Does footage such as the CNN sniper video help the enemy? “I don’t think you help the enemy to have the truth known,” says Kerry.
