As the Title suggests I am a vet, and proud of it, and proud of all those that wear the uniform of the United States of America. You name it we'll talk about it. Politics, sports and much more. However, I am also very interested in what is happening to this great country of ours, politically and socially...So SOUND OFF PRIVATE!!!

How Dare You Disturb My Demonstration!!!

OK, now I have heard everything. If you people think that we have it bad with our demonstrators, and wanting to stop some of them; just be glad that you don't live in TURKEY. This story was posted on Fox's Brit Humes "Grapevine", Fri., Feb 17, 2006. Now remember, this happened during a protest over the "cartoons"; who was disturbing the peace?

Stoned in Turkey


A female Turkish reporter was stoned for what fundamentalists considered "sexually provocative" behavior while covering a protest of those controversial cartoons of the Muslim Prophet Muhammad... but she is the one who could now face three years in jail for disturbing the peace.


Aliye Cetinkaya was struck in the head with stones and shoes after a group of protesters took offense to her lack of a traditional head-scarf and shouted at her to come down from her vantage point because her way of sitting was "inappropriate" while the Koran was being read.


The reporter was rescued by her colleagues and two men were charged with stoning. But an Islamist group has since filed charges accusing her of disturbing the demonstration — an offense that carries up to three years in prison.
