suffering from PTSD

oh poor guy was all stressed.. Does suffering a disorder preclude from a guilty verdict?
And does being insane equal a disorder in your book? yeah war is a ***** maybe they should have thought about that before sending their boys over to wreak carnage on sovereign nations for that will breed amongst other things hostility and 'terrorists'

best,

The anger comes from western countries interference.

western countries interfering and some Muslims getting angry and want to stop this.

This is indeed true.

There is no brainwashing involved, nor extreme ideology.

This not so. Look at this systematic brainwashing of children by the Taliban:

Salaam,

I will watch this and let you know what I think. Also, I have to do more research.

 

[GuestFellow]

you think what this b**** has to say has any weight among Muslims?

Salaam,

No need to swear. However, what she says MAY contain an element of truth. It is best to keep an open mind and not be afraid to research issues that are contrary to our beliefs.

I do have an open mind and that is why I came to conclusion to have an opinion against her without getting influenced by her emo video. Why do you think that agreeing with what she has to say is the only sign of possessing an open mind? What needs to be researched about this issue? :S

Great!

.

And that's fine.

Why do you think that agreeing with what she has to say is the only sign of possessing an open mind?

I never said that.

I just got the impression your not open-minded. You sounded angry. :skeleton: My bad.

What needs to be researched about this issue? :S

Do you know what is going on in Afghanistan? Specifically about these allegations about children are being brainwashed by the Talibam. If so, tell me because I want to know. Also, present evidence as well. It will save me the trouble for researching this topic.

EDIT:

LOL Talibam!!!

BIAS will always be there.

That's was the point of my entire post. I'm not sure if you understood correctly what I was saying? But thank you for re-stating that.

So you put put journalists in charge of investigations...conflict of interest?

You don't understand the definition of an investigation in a journalistic sense nor do you understand the definition of a conflict of interest in a journalistic sense. An investigative journalism reporter does not sit down at a crime scene and collect blood samples and try to figure out blood splatter. That's the job of the people who are paid to do it. An investigative journalist would talk to people, follow leads, and try to figure out the story by digging deeper than others might do by just going on what was sent out in the official press release. Hence them being called investigative...

A conflict of interest would occur when the person who died at the crime scene was a relative or friend of the journalist or someone who was involved in an organization that the journalist also belonged to. At that point it would be proper for him/her to call their editor and excuse themselves from pursuing the story and allowing another journalist to take it.

Neither does what you have to say! At least, her talk is backed by her own research and investigation.

All that vesicoureteral reflux has gone to her brains..:hmm:

Bales was arrested and is in court now. Will you be able to accept if the court rules he indeed was suffering from PTSD??

If he is evaluated and it turns out that he has PTSD then yes. I don't understand what you're getting so defensive about here. I worked in the journalism industry for years so forgive me for demanding quality journalistic work and seeing the holes that a lot of stories these days leave out--especially when it involves alleged terrorism.

I'm just informing you of the current media trends of the decade and the politics that are surrounded by it. They go hand in hand and you'd be wise to recognize them. I'm not saying that every story that comes out about some Muslim terrorist is a lie but if there is something that doesn't add up about the story, or language and words being used that are potentially leading readers to a specific conclusion then I am not going to sit here and accept it as the complete truth. No journalist who cares about the integrity of the profession and producing better objectivity in stories would.

lol her research? What research? What was the power of this study? What was the significant level? Where are the confidence levels? Where are the standard deviation bars? What about researcher bias?

Research, you say, eh.

You don't understand the definition of an investigation in a journalistic sense nor do you understand the definition of a conflict of interest in a journalistic sense.

Salaam,

I do not care about a journalistic perspective on this matter. You said the Afghan authorities and NATO should not be involved. The impression I got is that journalists should head this matter and have the same responsibility.

A simple definition of a journalist:

A person who writes for newspapers or magazines or prepares news to be broadcast on radio or television.

That is their job.

An investigative journalism reporter does not sit down at a crime scene and collect blood samples and try to figure out blood splatter. That's the job of the people who are paid to do it. An investigative journalist would talk to people, follow leads, and try to figure out the story by digging deeper than others might do. Hence them being called investigative...

That is what the police and the government do. However, the authorities have more power and a duty to uphold the law. In addition, the authorities will have access to experts and not under pressure to sell stories.

A journalist job is to sell stories.

A conflict of interest would occur when the person who died at the crime scene was a relative or friend of the journalist or someone who was involved in an organization that the journalist also belonged to. At that point it would be proper for him/her to call their editor and excuse themselves from pursuing the story and allowing another journalist to take it.

Conflict of interest occurs where a person's decision is influenced by his own personal interests. For example, a journalist wants to investigate a murder scene. The journalist wants to report the facts but his manager puts pressure on him to twist the facts in order to sell more stories. Is this not a conflict of interest? It is an ethical issue, whether to present the truth or to gain publicity.
