im sorry I respect noone who defends those that want us dead.You can bow to Rustum I however never will agree with those that support terrorists!
92. Article a joke?
Destin ,   Nunya, USA   (08.07.06)
This has got to a joke right? I mean, all I can see of the person being guilty of is "wishful thinking". If it was a death threat, it would be a deliberate and malicious statement, such as this example of "I'm coming to cut your throat, pig". Where does the USA rank in common sense and education? Oh yeah, I forgot, last place. Just a typical case of a blogger out to get his 15 minutes of fame. I've had alot worse said to me, and I'm not bellyaching and crying over it.

Donn ,   Skowhegan,Me,USA   (08.07.06)
the politicians will not close the borders to Islam as long as American keep voting the liberals into Washington.Islam and the libs in Washington {Kennedy, Schumer, Clinton,ect} both want the same thing.The end of America as we know it.
94. Reliability
Richard E. Cutter ,   Andover, Maine, USA   (08.07.06)
My, my. Twice in one day. You people do not have it all together. I will no longer even bother to open any site detailing 'Reuters', as I can only assume that there is a problematic issue involved here!!! What ever happened to fair and balanced???

Sounder ,   Winder Ga. USA   (08.07.06)
Did you read my post ? and can you tell me how you came to the conclusion from my post that "Either you have forgotten that muslims have killed or are planning to kill thousands all over this planet or maybe you are with them" {I got my ideas as to wich one is the truth}
96. BBC & Reuters are Anti-Semitic.
alex ,   miami, fl   (08.07.06)
Al Reuters, Londonistan and the Bigoted British Channel (BBC) what is going on? Your true colors are showing.

Donn ,   Skowhegan,Me,USA   (08.07.06)
My reply was to Rustum
98. One-sided reporting?
Sutliffius ,   Rochester, NY USA   (08.07.06)
In the United States we rarely here of the devestation to Israel. oh, we hear of missles and bombs striking Israel but never a personal story, never an in depth examination on what is happening on the Israeli side. But, daily we receive a personal touch to the reporting for the Hezbollah as if this is the only effected group of people. No mention is ever made about Hezbollah's links to Iran, or to the Lebanese government. They are simply called terrorists. That is not what I would call Zionist reporting. If anything it is pro-Islamic reporting.
99. Green Helmet Guy
kalani ,   anchorage   (08.07.06)
The new "where's waldo" is to look for the same green helmeted rescue worker in reuters lebanon resuce shots.
100. to all Jew haters
stanley m ,   boston united states   (08.07.06)
what Yonatan said in his/her comment is absolutely correct. the Bible's book of Amos specifies in the very last 2 sentences of the book that the Jews shall never again be removed from the land of Israel, because GOD has made that determination regardless of the disapproval of the president of iran and any of the sympathizers of the Jew haters. as an evangelical Protestant, i know all evangelical Protestants strongly support Israel and the right of Jews to their land
101. MATT DRUDGE: guy on air right now!
stevelaw ,   atlanta, usa   (08.07.06)
Matt's on the air right now until 1;00 A.M. Eastern Standard Time. www.drudgereport.com He's discussing this Reuters topic tonight.
102. You Must Be KIDDING!
Bud ,   Austin,USA   (08.07.06)
The message, sent from a Reuters internet account, read: "I look forward to the day when you pigs get your throats cut." Absolutley nowhere is there a "death threat." To Who? He didn't say he was going to cut anybody's throat. He didn't say he wanted to cut anybody's throat. He simply stated an emotion.
103. death threat?
ralph ,   layton   (08.07.06)
reuters, we love you for exposing yourself; you are and always have been questionable
104. #102
Frob ,   Otsego, MI USA   (08.07.06)
Hey Bud. If I said 2 men were coming over to your house to slit your throat you wouldnt take that as a threat??? I bet you would. Even though I never said that I was going to do it, you inferred that I was behind it. Its still a threat. Get your head out of the sand and wake the FUCK UP. Dont play your cutsey word games with us. We are too smart for that.
105. reply to # 104- do not worry about # 102
Not Bill Clinton ,   Los angeles-USA   (08.07.06)
he is from Austin, texas, probably wearing his puke orange polo shirt, fake rolex and his oraneg and white fake ostrich boots. I would not worry about him. Those puke orange fools were all over Los angeles last new years and crapped in their pants when they saw a LA gangbanger in the streets, What do you think they would do if they saw an islamo-facists, falsh that stupid" hook em horns" sign and run like hell....
106. The headline is misleading
Ian Robertson ,   Montreal, Canada   (08.07.06)
and should be changed. While the statement is sick it is not a threat, only the wish of an idiot.
107. Doctored photos
A Morris ,   Canada Toronto   (08.07.06)
I wrote and to Retuers and asked them to provide a statement to reassure me that no other photos were doctored. I received a rude boiler plate letter in return saying the photographer had been suspended. I believe we should all demand from Reuters a statement that no photos from them have or will be doctored

Jscovit ,   college park, Md USA   (08.07.06)
Blow that horn, girl. Thanks. JMS.
109. reuters employee issues Zionist pig....
abdallah, Ebin Moham ,   chicago   (08.07.06)
Ok, whether there was smoke or no smok, the facts that Israel was bombing civilians in Lebanon killing more than 1000 innocents, destroying the whole infrastructure, and leading to more than quarter of population homeless. If this is not terrorism by the Israelis, then what it is? The zionist bloggers want to silence the messengers, but they will fail. They are using the same tactics they used against Kerrey to destort his miltary records, they are now trying to intimidate Reuters and its newscovers of the massacres committed by Israelis with weapons paid for by the American taxpayers.
110. #81. anti-semitism
Patrick B. Leek ,   Bexley, Ohio U.S.A.   (08.07.06)
Anti-semites think they are legitimize by saying they are merely Anti-Zionist. If you are for the most part Anti-Israel, well guess what you are an Anti-Semite and if you don't think so you are in denial. What gave you away as an Anti-Semite is your statement about the race card. Great name for you - Fubar. Know what that means?
111. The simple truth
Angry American ,   NY   (08.07.06)
It just shows how immature, unsophisticated, uncivilized, racist and barbaric most muslims are. And the arab world wonders why the west hates them. The answer is because it is hard to have respect and make peace with a group of people who want everyone nonmuslim annihlated. Whats happening in Lebanon is the arabs and muslims own doing. Pay the price for your actions. Maybe they'll learn that one day.
112. Reuters
April ,   USA   (08.07.06)
Posting doctored photos and sending tainted emails that can be traced to unsavory connections. I think the infiltration of our media by these people has begun. It will become increasingly difficult to know who's reporting the truth.
113. Hate Crime?
vince ,   USA   (08.08.06)
Extremely unpleasant activities coming from Reuters. "Next in line could be Ynet - perhaps many of the posters should be tried for the hate crime of celebrating the deaths of Palestinians every time an Israeli strike takes out more." First off, open your eyes, deaths of Palestinians would not happen if they would quit blowing themselves up in front of pizza shops. Israel responds to that by targeting the Palestinian groups doing it. "The despicable message "enjoy the 70 virgins" posted every so often and the other triumphalist messages of hatred surely are just as bad as the idiotic Reuters employee's note. " That is there/your belief? Is it not? "I have read in these pages direct threats, joy at Arab deaths, exhortations to "nuke Iran", etc, etc, until one feels ill at the bigotry." It is not Arab deaths it is TERRORIST deaths, it just so happens that most of the terrorist are Arab. One happens to be ruling Iran at this point, and he wants nukes to "annihilate" Isreal. "Oh, I forgot. If the threats and jubilation are at Arab/Moslem deaths, then your readers won't think it counts as hatred." Again, not Arab/moslems, TERRORIST.
114. The media
RMR ,   Houston, TX   (08.08.06)
I regreat to inform you that POTUS (Presideant of the United States), nor anyone in the government of the United States, may interfere with the press. Unfortunatly, it goes against the Constitution and Bill of Rights of the United States of America. You see, Our humble beginings started with a press ruled by the King of England. Our laws set them outside government control. THANK GOD FOR THE NEW MEDIA!!! The new media NOW does what the main stream (Drive-by) media FAILS to do. Hey, who do you have in Europe, Asia, who are the same as Rush Limbaugh, Hannity, etc?
115. You
RMRobin ,   Houston, Texas   (08.08.06)
If I didn't know better, I would think you where an American Conservitive Republican. A Reagen Republican. God Bless you.
116. To 107, every day more Retuers pictures turns up be faked
Israeli ,   Haifa, Israel   (08.08.06)
This isn't a one timer, and note the person sending the death threat to the blogger isn't the same person that took the faked picture. I won't be surprised if their entire news couvrage in Lebanon is faulty.
117. Race Card
Bob ,   S. Florida, US of A   (08.09.06)
Well, (expletive deleted) when the A- hole president of Iran talks about wiping Israel off the map, according to your way of thinking he only wants "the Zionists". Nonsense, he means the Jewish race. So now tell me about not "playing" the race card.

119. reutors photo doctors
Here's a good idea ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (08.13.06)
Here's a comment I sent to their editor: Nice work with the photo doctors in Beirut. Hey, here's a good idea: Why not let Reuters just fake war pictures, destroy cities and towns, add in the dead bodies, and then WE who suffer in REAL war can just get on with our lives.
120. More antisemitic tone from Reuters...
Dan ,   Tel-Aviv, Israel   (09.23.06)
Look at the following link: Would any lawyer be ready to sue them for libel? http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=inDepthNews&storyID=2006-09-14T124149Z_01_L05415019_RTRUKOC_0_US-MIDEAST-MONASTERY.xml&pageNumber=0&imageid=&cap=&sz=13&WTModLoc=NewsArt-C1-ArticlePage2 .
