FEMA Sorry for Faking News Briefing
theodp writes "The Federal Emergency Management Agency's No. 2 official apologized Friday for leading a staged news conference Tuesday in which FEMA employees posed as reporters. All the while, real reporters listened on a telephone conference line and were barred from asking questions. In the briefing, Vice Adm. Harvey E. Johnson Jr., FEMA's deputy administrator, called on questioners who did not disclose that they were FEMA employees, and gave replies emphasizing that his agency's response to this week's California wildfires was far better than its response to Hurricane Katrina in August 2005."
I modded you down for no reason and theres not a goddamn thing you can do about it
The difference between a terrorist and a freedom fighter is just that the latter won his war.
Pathetic and idiotic. The sort of tripe usually spouted by people who prefer socialism or communism or some other evil tyranny over the mind of man, the sort who would wear a Che Guevara T-shirt (celebrating a murderous pig)
Terrorist:
1. Targets innocent people for destruction, in order to force change by terrorizing the masses2. Does not serve a county and wear a uniform (nobody is accountable for his acts but him)
3. Usually lacks the guts to be accountable for his actions. Either hides his face behind a mask, of kills himself in the attack to avoid capture and punishment.
4. Often seeks to replace a government with some form of tyranny or worse government
Freedom fighter:
1. Targets government forces or opposing terrorists/guerrillas
2. Often organized into militia-like forms with intent to become military of new government
3. Usually proud to be identified and plans to survive to the end to see freedom
4. Seeks to replace some form of tyranny with a better government and more freedom
