Anti-war protestors besieged wounded and disabled soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C, a new web report will claim!
CNSNews.com is planning to run an expose on Thursday featuring interviews with both protestors and veterans, as well as shots of protest signs with slogans like â??Maimed for a Lie.â?

"If I had only known, I'd have got bin Ladden...'
But I'm not sure america would have had the stomach for what we would have suffered without a 9/11 to prop up their collective resolve. We'd probably
