Maybe the liberal Military haters need to open their eyes and listen to someone who's been over there and seen things with their own eyes. If there was one person who was in the thick of it and knows what's going on, it's Hamill. And Hamill seems to think that Iraq needs a democracy and we need to stay there and get the job done.

"We need to form a democratic government over there," he said. "We need to get that country on its feet. And we need to take care of those people that are trying to stop it."

And guess who "those people who are trying to stop it," are. No, not just the insurgents, but the american media. Thanks for helping out our soldiers and POW's american news media:

The prisoner abuse scandal -- with photos of U.S. soldiers abusing Iraqis held in the Abu Ghraib prison -- emerged in his last week of captivity and it caused his conditions to worsen, he said.

Somhow I doubt THIS will get much media attention...the fact that the media isn't helping anything good come out of Iraq by only showing us the sensationalized bad things going on over there.

He is a hero.
