[ale] Quiet

[Chris Fowler]

On this stuff,  I do not want to start a topic war but IMO I'm seeing
the US media do stuff that they would not have done during WWII.  
I understand that there were some bad apples in Iraq that might had
tortured prisoners but it appears the media is starting to run it into
the ground.  I have no idea why they would want to do this to their own
nation.
