Google News

Funny, I'm checking the Google News website (my homepage), and two different news media present the same news with titles that give you different first-sight impressions: The Seattle Times and The Scotsman

See for yourselves:
Detained Afghan teen got good food, few questions at Guantánamo
Guantánamo boy: US stole a year of my life

If this is representative of the difference in reporting between news media in the US and abroad, it's no wonder that Americans think of themselves as "the nice guys", while many other people elsewhere think of them as abusive.

"Oh, but why do they hate us? Why do they want to come and kill us?"

Blatant arrogance and ignorance from many people of the self-labeled "leaders of the free world". Sad.

Oh, I just can't get out of my head that white woman I saw on a BBC news report. She was talking with her Southern accent about her son going to war in Iraq. She said that her son "had gone to war in Iraq so we could be free."

I'd like to ask her... free from what? The only way you're going to be free from your own stupidity is that you start learning to read and use that ability to study world history and read news from diverse media, not just Fox News.
