Link April 29 (Bloomberg) -- Sinclair Broadcast Group Inc. ordered its ABC affiliates to preempt tomorrow's broadcast of ``Nightline,'' which will air the names and photos of U.S. military personnel who have died in combat in Iraq, saying the move is politically motivated. ``Despite the denials by a spokeswoman for the show, the action appears to be motivated by a political agenda designed to undermine the efforts of the United States in Iraq,'' the company said in a faxed statement. Sinclair, which owns 62 U.S. television stations, said ABC is disguising political statements as news content. Nightline anchor Ted Koppel will read the names of the more than 500 members of the U.S. armed forces killed in Iraq as their photos air in pairs, the network has said. Their names, ranks, branches of service, hometowns and ages will be listed under the photos. The entire broadcast will be devoted to reading the names. The 30-minute program airs at 11:35 p.m. New York time on ABC, a unit of the Walt Disney Co. It will include those certified as killed in action by the Pentagon between March 19, 2003, and the date of the broadcast. Because of the list's size, Nightline will only be able to devote seconds to each casualty, executive producer Leroy Sievers said Tuesday. Sinclair owns stations affiliated with ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC, WB and UPN in 39 markets. In an e-mailed statement, ABC said the broadcast ``is an expression of respect which simply seeks to honor those who have laid down their lives for this country.''

I've always liked Tony. Wish Hawk had stayed in the announcers booth.

you are correct. It was Italian. Sic the hounds on me? We're going out to dinner. Fa ra ra ra ra ra ra ra

You (4E) pointed out that "The "palis" have shown taht (sic) they don't need a reason to be violent! " to justify Israel using violence. I was surprised that you believe that Israel can use Palestinian standards of behavior. That places both Israel and Palestinians on the same moral plane. I am very surprised by that. I would have expected you to state that Israel is the more moral country, more civilized, and should not stoop to the level of the Palestinians (which I believe). I'm not certain if that means you have devalued, in your system, Israel, or are beginning to place a higher moral value on the Palestinians. Either way I think it is dangerous for Israel to use the Palestinian's behavior as justiification of their tactics. BTW, in rating an entire population or race of people, are you using the lowest common denominator i.e. Hamas members to represent all Palestinians? Do the US soldiers who humiliated and committed crimes against Iraqi prisoners represent all US soldiers? If not, then why should Hamas represent all Palestinians? After all we all support our Troops, does that make us evil?

great memory

4E, Wow, you are stating that Israel should follow the example of the Palestinians? Israel and the Palestinians on the same moral and ethical plane. I must say, I never would have thought you would believe that. Apu maybe, but not you. I must say you are surprising me

BTW Nuke, one of the largest populations of homeless in the late 60s and early 70s was VietNam vets who couldn't get a job because employers were afraid to hire them. There are still a lot of homeless vets whose benefits have either been cut or haven't kept up with inflation. The VA hospitals have been overcrowded and have been pushing sick people out the door. Are there some bums out there? Of course. When wuld you like to spend money on them? Before they become homeless? WHen they are homeless? Wait until they kill an old lady for food money? Eventually you'll pay.

There is a difference between assasination and eliminating someone through legal channels. Again, would you favor bombing O'Hare if a terrorist was at your desk? Civilized countries follow international law.

Are they anti-semite jews? I am merely showing that even among Jews; this is not a simple situation. This type of debate goes on in Israel all the time. What is the best path to peace? If Apu, Nuke, and 4E were all in Gaza, they would have plenty of Jews and Palestinians that will agree with them.

Like I said :headshake cut backs in social services for the mentally ill, manufacturing jobs leaving the US, US corporations outsourcing jobs to foreign countries, probably have nothing to do with it. There all lazy bums, especially their kids. Let them knock an old lady over the head, then we'll over three dquares a day and adequate housing.

Here's a nice link to racist jews.

According to most conservatives, the homeless are worthless bums trying to leech off of the working people and should be left to die.

No, but in civilized countries we feed, cloth, and shelter the homeless.

I wish I had you optimism. Israel didn't have weapons of mass destruction 20 years ago. Now with nukes, you never know how far they will go. As 4E has stated on many occasions, what is Israel to do when their kids are being murdered by terrorists? People can only take so much. Watching synagogues and buses get blown up doesn't help a peace process. Either does watching missiles destroy your homes and mosques.

Only if Black Bart is a Palistinian. Hey Nuke, I double dog dare you to rent that movie. Or TBS shows it for 24 hours Christmas Eve and Christmas Day if you can wait. Fra-Gee-Lay, it must be French

Who is their own people? Who did they elect? Where does their government meet?

I am convinced that the majority of Palestinians do not want to die and do not hate Israelis. They displile some Israel policies towards them. They dislike living in fear, as does the population in Israel. Palestinians have the same basic needs as anyone else. A place to live, some food, a happy life. A minority of terrorists have created a situation that makes millions of Palestinians hostages and nomads. When that many people are desperate, extreme thoughts begin to take over. A war to kill 9 million people will wipe out much of Isael also. It will be the US and Israel against the world. I really see this escalating to World War III. I do not see an escaltion that solves the issues without WWIII.

Great flick. Post WWII Chicago and the little kid wants a Red Rider BB Gun for Christmas. Has kind of a Wonder Years feel to it. There are some incredibly funny scenes. The scene where he helps his dad fix a flat is classic.

And that is treating them better than anywhere else. :headshake Gee, I wonder why they turn to idiot terrorists who promise them a place to live. Pull your head out of your ass long enough to see that people get desperate when they have no food, no homes.

did anyone say the IDF did it on purpose Thanks for playing.

This reminds me of the Scott Farkus scene in The Christmas Story with 4E as Scott Farkus's little buddy. Hey Nuke, let 4E feel like a real man for a moment and pat his head.

Doesn't matter where he finds it, you'll dismiss it. Kind of like if someone said the US bombed the Chinese embassy. We wouldn't believe it. Plus it's collateral damage. As long as a Hamas leader had been anywhere near the school, kill, kill, kill. Must drink blood. Kill, Kill, Kill. There are 6 million Palestinians that 4E needs killed.

A young boy went up to his father and asked him, "Dad, what is the difference between potentially and realistically?" The father thought for a moment, then answered, "Go ask your mother if she would sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars. Then ask your sister if she would sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars, and ask your brother if he`d sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars. Come back and tell me what you learn from that." So the boy went to his mother and asked, "Would you sleep with Robert Redford for a million dollars?" The mother replied, "Of course I would! We could really use that money to fix up the house and send you kids to a great college!" The boy then went to his sister and asked, "Would you sleep with Brad Pitt for a million dollars?" The girl replied, "Oh my God! I LOVE Brad Pitt! I would sleep with him in a heartbeat, are you nuts?!?!?" The boy then went to his brother and asked, "Would you sleep with Tom Cruise for a million dollars?" "Of course," the brother replied. "Do you know how much a million could buy?" The boy pondered that for a few days, then went back to his dad. His father asked him, "Did you find out the difference between potentially and realistically?" The boy replied, "Yes, sir. Potentially, we`re sitting on three million dollars, but realistically, we`re living with two sluts and a queer."
