That "Conservative" Media
Typical crap from the MSM:
Quote:
Associated Press reporter Asif Shahzad reporting:
17 former Guantanamo inmates freed in Pakistan; 6 claim Qur'an was desecrated
LAHORE, Pakistan (AP) - Pakistanis freed from Guantanamo Bay claimed Monday they saw American interrogators throw, tear and stand on copies of Islam's holy book, and one former detainee said naked women sat on prisoners' chests during questioning
|
- That's the lede. Here are the final three grafs:
Tahir Ashrafi, a religious affairs adviser for Punjab province, said the 17 men had been cleared by Pakistani intelligence agencies after thorough interrogation and "have not been found to be involved in any kind of terrorist activity."
He said all the men signed statements saying they wouldn't join any anti-state activity.
However, one of the freed men, Khalil-ur Rahman, 21, from the eastern town of Gujrat, said he wouldn't hesitate to fight again. "If I get a chance to fight jihad again, I will definitely go. I will not miss it," he said.
This is a good example of a news story constructed exactly backward with the wrong headline. The correct headline for this story is:
Detainee Freed From Guantanamo Bay Vows to Kill Again
Miss a chance to whip up more Anti-American hatred with a Koran desecration story? As If.
