Is CBS responsible for these pictures being released?

Okay, lets all imagine for a mi ute if say Fox had access to these pics.Would they have broke the story?

I really admire CBS & must ask, if these pictures and the story were NOT on 60 Minutes II,would the public even know about this?

By the way,they just annouced Lynddie(not sure if thats the right spelling)England,the girl in the pictures will be interviewed by CBS(possibly 60 Minutes for this Sunday)

1. If yuo ask the Secretary of Defense

yes they are guilty and treasonous sons of bitches, for exposing what we have been up to...

How dare they?

After three hours of hearing SecDef saying words to this effect, you got it from the horse's mouth

2. Seems to me that whoever put them up on the porn site released them...

...and then CBS decided to break their voluntary embargo of them once they were already out on the net.

3. Bingo!

I like Gunga Dan Rather but CBS is only a tad better than most in terms of their whore coverage.

4. Yes

I've been watching them develop a set of brass ones (sorry for sexist remark, but I can't think of another analogy right now) over the last few months.

They (and Viacom) are taking a huge gamble and hoping it will pay off.

Have you emailed them recently? I'm going to right now.

8. They didn't release till other news orgs were about to.

So, no.

Pity. I would have liked to see an ounce of courage from that network.

to not let this ever happen... don't blame the messenger...you don't like the message..you implement policy, procedure and controls to not let these acts occur.

In organzations, as the leadership team, if you don't do that you normally get FIRED!
