Courtesy of the Media Research Center, here's a transcript of Peter Jennings' remarks from his little program last night:
Jennings announced on the May 12 World News Tonight, following multiple stories on the prisoner abuse matter: "And now to the murder of the American civilian, Nicholas Berg. President Bush said today there was 'no justification' for what he called the 'brutal execution' of Berg. Mr. Bush also said it would not disrupt the U.S. mission in Iraq. The suspected terrorist leader, who's claimed responsibility for Mr. Berg's murder, is one of the most wanted men in Iraq -- at least by the United States."
How about mentioning the fact that Zarqawi's an associate of Osama's? Zarqawi is a prominent member of al-Qaeda ---in Iraq and murdering American citizens. Why not mention his affiliation? Because it proves this Administration's claims that al-Qaeda is a threat in Iraq? And what's with the stupid qualification "at least by the United States"? It's a smug, anti-American remark that real Americans should take him to task for.
Fuck Jennings. The guy is the very definition of a fifth column.
