1. I don't see how the release of the information about the killing of the

Reuters photographer and the little boy in the truck and the injury of the little girl in the truck could possibly lead to harm to any American soldier.

That event happened long ago. The soldiers who did it are no longer in Iraq, I would presume.

The Iraqis on the ground know first-hand about that event and others like it.

The only people to whom the release of that video discloses the secret information of that attack is us here in America. We are the only people from whom the brutality of our soldiers and the wars we are conducting in Afghanistan and Iraq is being kept a secret.

This Representative does not persuade me at all. His argument does not make sense to me.

The people who are giving aid and comfort to our actual enemies -- the terrorists -- are those who commit brutal, absurd, pointlessly violent acts like the attack on the Reuters photographer and the children in the truck.
