Veteran of "Collateral Murder" Company Speaks Out
Josh Stieber, who is a former soldier of the “Collateral Murder” Company, says that the acts of brutality caught on film and recently released via Wikileaks are not isolated instances, but were commonplace during his tour of duty.
"A lot of my friends are in that video,” says Stieber. “After watching the video, I would definitely say that that is, nine times out of ten, the way things ended up. Killing was following military protocol. It was going along with the rules as they are."

It doesn't matter if the Ramones or Televison or The Rolling Stones were the first punks (I'd argue for Robert Johnson or some of the Harlem jazz-punks from the 1920s myself)

Get there half an hour earlier?
I know, I know, it can't be as simple as that.
Besides all that, you're right; expansive thinking requires the time to tease it out, and if M7 was an hour long you'd really be getting somewhere.
Russ got some good hits in, but it wasn't the bollocking we'd hoped for because the time alotted allowed McVicar to coast on platitudes, rather than be forced to actually address specifics.

I quite agree, Gio (except for the last bit; not possible without major rejigging due to studio time contraints).

Well, the critic at Amoeblog is of a different view.
[Still mulling that over, Steve.]
