So, if TNR has facts that back up their assertions, show them. Otherwise, you've got baseless claims, which only serve to denigrate and attack the professionalism of the US Armed Forces. You mean to tell me that in a country where nearly every soldie....</description>

		<description>Neo, while you are right that this story is done, the point is that it should not be.  Had this story by the Diarist been factual, the MSM would be running re-runs and re-do's of this story every 15 minutes for the next three months and would drag it out one week before the elections for impact.

It is important that the American people realize that the MSM is not behind them.  When the LA Times is calling for the release of Johnny Walker Lindh and Ellis Hennigen (sp?) is saying the same thing on national TV because he considered Taliban boy to be "just a small fish" who has served 5 years and that should be enough, you understand that the American military is being slammed while the left want to have their "touchy-feely" emotions toward terrorists rule our nation.

Until the advent of the bloggers, we had no option but to take at face value what the MSM told us.  But no longer.  And that is a good thing.  And if you think that the bloggers are not the wave of the future, and real threat to the political scene, as well as MSM media, just take a look at how the Democrat candidates were worshipping at the feet of Markos Moulisas Zuniga last week.

Publications should be forced to be truthful and if they are not, they should be investigated.  It is that simple.  With the promise of a "more honest and open government" along with that should come a more honest and open media.  It is what the American people deserve and what they should demand and when they are purposefully lied to or when a lie is covered up by a media outlet, that outlet should be required by law to give the correction as much coverage as they did the lie.

Physician heal thyself should also apply to the media.</description>

		<description>I agree with most of your comments, except this story is really done.  Stick it with a fork.

Beauchamp and TNR have been revealed to be fools, and that is about the best you can hope for.

All that is left is the Dead Pool for Foer.</description>
