Never is, people shouldn't buy the humanitarian reasons, there's a lot more to it. If it were that simple we should be all over the planet.

Dno, there's lots of countries around the globe which we don't agree with yet are left alone (mainly in Africa). It's about whether or not the country which 'doesn't play to our tune' is an actual threat to us or not.

Take North Korea for example, Kim and his cronies are insane - and have been closely watched for the past 50 years or so. On the other hand, Turkmenistan has had a dictator for decades and I believe they weren't exactly big on the west either, until 9/11 it was barely on the radar.

i don't think the decisive factor in involvement is whether or not they're a 'threat', it's whether or not you have an interest.

He had a too small white T-shirt with a print on it that said "Kill all arabs" or something like that ... it was a tad difficult to see because he had the T-shirt on inside out

awww gee Ken Jennings, I was really hoping I could come on tonight and read your explanation as to how Islam instills a 'separate but equal" attitude regarding non-muslims, and it not be considered intolerant and bigoted....Ya know, given that you studied Islam and all.

So apparently 4/5 people in the compound were killed while unarmed, there was no 'firefight' after all.

Old news. First reports are invariably wrong...which is why it's normal to wait for a while to "tell the story."

Speaks to experience of those dealing with it, I suppose.

“I have sought further information from the staff of the Senate Intelligence Committee, and they confirm for me that, in fact, the best intelligence gained from a CIA detainee — information describing Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti’s real role in Al-Qaeda and his true relationship to Osama bin Laden — was obtained through standard, non-coercive means, not through any ‘enhanced interrogation technique.’

“In short, it was not torture or cruel, inhuman, and degrading treatment of detainees that got us the major leads that ultimately enabled our intelligence community to find Osama bin Laden. I hope former Attorney General Mukasey will correct his misstatement. It’s important that he do so because we are again engaged in this important debate, with much at stake for America’s security and reputation. Each side should make its own case, but do so without making up its own facts.

Looks like propaganda to paint the enemy as sinful pigs to me. I'm not doubting it was there, but it shouldn't be a news story. Fox was the best, "The discovery of pornography taken during raids on Islamic militants is not uncommon" - right, okay.

I was talking about the US officials who told the media.

It doesn't really matter whether he was actually into ritualized flogging or not. People will have made up their minds before the report was issued anyway.
