I’ve seen where various reporters have been allowed to embed with their home nations’ troops in the battlefield, but whose team is the Globe and Mail now embedded with?
Here’s their front page from yesterday:
The Globe and Mail’s caption on that photo reads:
Taliban fighters brandish their weapons in Helmand province. Their commander, holding cellphone, boasts: ‘We have arrested about 60 or 70 spies, and we killed many of them.’
In a now all too familiar refrain, under that huge picture of the enemy (at least “the enemy” to me and my country), in which the leader boasts of killing traitors carte blanche, the Globe and Mail saw fit to include a story headlined “WATCHDOG PROBES CANADIAN TROOPS”—giving it exactly equal footing with the story related to the photo above it.
In an exemplary display of their absurd liberal moral equivalence, the story is about how Canadian troops (no, not a typo—CANADIAN troops) are under investigation for allegedly handing detainees over to “known torturers” (that is to say the Afghans themselves—police and other security authorities).
See? Layton and his you’ve got to be kidding party were right. The Islamofascist savages are no different from us. In fact we’re worse. They’re misunderstood.
The Globe and Mail proudly inform us,
“This new investigation brings to four the number of probes into that policy, as well as specific allegations that several detainees were abused or beaten by Canadian troops in Afghanistan last April. The probes were all launched after The Globe and Mail published reports of allegations detainees may have been abused.”
(The “specific allegations” were brought by such luminaries as the B.C. Civil Liberties Association which has apparently extended its reach beyond BC now).
As I said, in their effort to keep similar stories in a group for your convenience, placed exactly beside that story and given exactly equal prominence, the other story accompanying the picture—this one about how the Taliban savages (oops—they call our clearly evil and ghoulish enemy “fighters”, exactly like our troops) routinely hang their enemies from trees with instructions to their families to leave them hanging there for days in order to show the community they mean business.
I don’t know about the Globe and Mail and the rest of the liberal media, but personally, I’m on our side.
