The account of Ali Ismail Abbas is, to me, a stinging indigtment of the basic morality of the press corps. It also highlights the disingenuous duplicity of America's detractors. To leverage this young boy's pain and suffering for ratings, readership, or to advance any agenda other than to secure adequate medical intervention for his care, is the basest and most vile act of exploitation imaginable. The American journalists mentioned herein have little in common with the US Army or the U.S. Marine helicopter squadron that evacuated an injured 15 year old Iraqi girl to safety on the USS Saipan back on March 22nd. The detractors that hold this up as an example of the insincerity of the US claim that no harm is intended to the civilian poplulation of Iraq, do not know the generosity of the American people.
