AP articles have their own truths that transcends mere factual truths, adding newly found elightenments of the abstract to their stories in the same manner a baby might discover that his body just made something he can use to draw pictures with.

Did you know the Military Times went with the AP story word for word? Just like the Idaho paper.

I wonder how many hundreds of papers rely on one slipshod reporter before any of them (or their readers) follow up to see if their daily dose of stories are safe to swallow?

The Anchorage Daily News used the AP story as well. Since the soldier was stationed in Alaska you’d think they’d at least do their homework.

You would think sloppiness on such a grand scale would get someone fired and another demoted.

Bush lets out all kinds of scum but he won’t pardon heroes like Compean and Ramos who protect his Texas friends.

What a disappointment Bush has become.

People, just to let you know that it just isn't Evan's friends and family involved who think there is something wrong here.

This is a letter from Evan's Congressman. EVERY avenue is being pursued. We all may be dogs barking up the wrong Bush. But every effort is being made by highly placed people who don't think what happened to Evan comes close to being right. Sen. Mike Crapo is doing the same.

From the time I first started to care about politics, which was when Nixon was president, the phrase “obstruction of justice” has meant to me a democrat mob saying, “We hate you, but we can’t get you for what you actually did, so we’re going to criminalize your attempts to protect yourself from us.”

This guy never should have had to worry about being persecuted in the first place, and I certainly don’t think he should be persecuted for hiding evidencce of something that shouldn’t be a crime.
