One way that the American media is hurting us

On the O'Reilly Factor, Bill was talking with Debra Burlingame, the sister of one of the pilots who were killed by the hijackers on 9/11/01. She made a good point, that the media is really hurting us in the Moslem world by their constant harping on "torture" going on in Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo. For goodness sake, what happened in those places were prisoners getting panties put on their heads or being forced to listen to loud music or being subjected to sleep deprivation. In NO possible way can that be construed as "torture", but that word is still what shows up in the headlines and people in the Moslem world see that and they think of REAL torture (eg., hot pokers in the eyes, fingers being cut off, etc.) and they think we are performing REAL torture on moslem prisoners and we're not. The media and the left (they're really one and the same) keep on harping about "war is not the answer" but by turning the Moslem world against us (as they are doing with their stories) they are effectively making war the only possible answer because they have so poisoned those people against us.
