Employing children in military units, much less terrorist outfits, is a slam dunk case of human rights abuse. But not to Reuters, Charles Johnson of Little Green Footballs notes:
Just when you think the mainstream wire services can’t possibly debase themselves any further, they release a photograph like this one, taken by Reuters Palestinian propagandist Ibraheem Abu Mustafa, with an unbelievably sick and distorted caption:
Palestinian Hamas activists take part in an anti-Israel rally organized by the Hamas movement in Gaza March 7, 2008. REUTERS/Ibraheem Abu Mustafa (GAZA)
I'd have to disagree with Johnson on his headline ("Reuters Hits Rock Bottom") though. Reuters hit rock-bottom long ago. They just kept drilling downward.

Remember how the left likes
March 7, 2008 - 23:10 ET by rbosqueRemember how the left likes to tell everyone that "our children" are dying for oil...blah blah blah...
Where are they now that actual kids are actually fighting? Where is the outrage for the Hamas "war criminals"? Where're the condemnations for rockets being lobbed at civilians???
I think the worst enemies we have are home-grown.
