An Open Letter to the London Times

Dear London Times,
You have a well-respected history of reporting, even held in high esteem and awe by your peers, yet there are those readers who only remember the photographs and related comments that you print. You do recall the photographs of the slaughtered Iraqi civilians that you published, the ones in which you flagrantly lied to the world and attributed the murders to The United States Marine Corps, oh, yes, those photographs.

You have a well-defined reader base, a rather broad mixture that encompasses the entire world, and there are those within that group of readers who only remember the disturbing sight of the slaughtered, innocent civilians lying crumpled in the dirt of Iraq, that image is etched forever within their mind. They also recall something that your well-respected reporting staff wrote accompanying that photograph, that United States Marines had murdered those innocent dead people.

As a well-respected member of the media, you are well aware that retractions and apologies do not remove that shocking image from the minds eye. The entire reasoning for publishing a retraction is a legal maneuver meant to place the London Times in an absence of malice advantage point, and therefore absolved of any liability.

This photographic lie now has people in the world wrongfully attributing the deaths to the United States Marines, not the murderous insurgents who actually did the killing in the photographs you published.

I am sure you recall just whom I am referring to, the same murderous insurgents running around Iraq decapitating innocent people, yes, you remember now, the ones murdering women as well as men, the same cowards who are murdering children in suicide bombings, car bombings, IED and RPG attacks.

The same murderous insurgents slaughtering innocent people in the name of God and freedom, the same cowardly slime, oozing and crawling from under the filth and waste of inhumanity, the same ones that highly respected media as yourself portray in such good lights, you do recall the ones of whom I am speaking, if not then allow me to remind you.

The cowards, who prey on fear and hatred, murdering and slaughtering their own people like cattle for food, then relish, no celebrate the anguish and devastation they have wrought upon their countrymen. They do this all in the name of zealot leaders who proudly exclaim their quest for martyrdom while in direct contradiction of their own teaching; hide, trembling in fear for their own safety from American and British troops

The ones who prefer to murder innocent children who cannot defend themselves, because they do not have the balls to stand and face an American or British soldier in open direct combat.

The filthy, lice-infested slime covered creatures from a netherworld born of fear, raised on hatred and spoon-fed from the hands of demons with names like, Saddam. bin laden, al Zarqawi, in a hell Satan would not step into, the ones you say are fighting for their freedom.

London Times, you disgust me, you have stepped back and stood alongside these same creatures who prey on fear, you are just as bad as they when you print lies and practice deceit. You should be ashamed of what you have done and instead of a retraction write an entire letter of apology to the men and women of the United Sates Marine Corps and the citizens of United States of America. If you need the addresses, I will be more than glad to provide them for you.
