(CBS) The three Duke lacrosse players indicted for a rape they say they didn't commit are indignant over the effect the charges are having on their lives and their families.
In their first interviews, they speak to Ed Bradley this Sunday, Oct. 15, at 7 p.m. ET/PT.

Better that than iniquity, don't you think? ;-)
Yep those out takes from Seligmann were very powerful. I do think what we have here is:
1. One guy who knows he is a bit of on the edge guy in Finnerty.
2. One guy who knows he is a part leader but part follower and get along to go along guy in Evans.
3. One guy who did every thing right. A guy who probably rarely if ever drank underage. A guy who got good grades, did everything asked of him, etc. and was the model kid in Seligmann.
Seligmann is naturally the most outraged that this has happened.
Also on those out takes Evans' comments about graduating on mothers day and what Nifong stole from Evans' mother is something everyone should hear. It is terribly sad.
Rosenberg dismissed my request—commenting that only extremist advocates of the economic status quo could say anything positive about the lacrosse players. He added that he had no regrets about signing the Group of 88’s statement. (Its author, Wahneema Lubiano, told ESPN Magazine that signatories were fully aware that “some would see the ad as a stake through the collective heart of the lacrosse team.”) Rosenberg concluded by breathtakingly asserting that he and the other signatories believed that Nifong was motivated not by the pursuit of justice but by the looming Democratic primary for district attorney. Even with this knowledge, he signed the statement and publicly condemned his former student.
I wouldn't consider letting any child of mine attend that school after that.
But of course :)
Thanks. Back atcha! If our engineers don't pay attention to detail, who will? Nothing to forgive, LB! I take no umbrage to being corrected - even if it's one of those "Duh! I should have known that!" moments. And, my, what's with the five dollar words today? I don't know about Ruth, but (ashamed as I am to admit it) I had to run for my dictionary. :)
Well I confess I did have to look up how to spell it. :)
Those are tough to watch. Reade seems the most angry and I can't blame him. Collin seems more sad then angry. He still seems shell shocked.
The fact that Dave couldn't get his diploma is really sad. He's lost that moment forever.
I disagree on Finnerty and Evans.
Finnerty strikes me as being very vulnerable. He seems more sad then angry. He's still a boy. A confused boy who can't figure out why this is happening to him. He doesn't have the level of maturity that Evans and Seligmann do. Because of that I'd say he's still capable of going wild once in a while but I wouldn't say he's "on the edge" or like a borderline criminal or anything.
Evans has always struck me as a natural leader. I can see why he was a team captain.
What we see is exactly the same mind set that erstwhile indian and college professor Ward Churchill demonstrated. It is an astounding combination of arrogance and misanthropy that leads to the likes of Stalin, Kim, Castro, etc. We are seeing the epitomy of the inhumanity of the Left - where some poorly articulated and fundamentally flawed idea is allowed to steamroll over the lives of individuals. This same sense of arrogance and misanthropy is what many people sense in Hilary Clinton. God save us all from left wing intellectuals and sociopathic DAs.
I'm going to have to resign from the "Vast Right Wing Conspiracy" and get new business cards as a member of the "Extremist Advocates of the Economic Status Quo".
What economic status quo would he like us to have? Cuba? China? Iraq? Iran? Oh!! I know, North Korea! This guy is crazier than Li'l Kim.
Forgot the newspaper info.

Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner!
In his column for the week of August 24-30, 2006, Cash Michaels wondered, SHOULD BLACKS TRUST D.A. MIKE NIFONG?
The answer is "NO," Cash, my friend, and you know it. We know it. The whole nation now knows it. And it's high time you shouted it to your core constituency, including the African American voters of Durham County.
Some African American commentators have known it for a lot longer.

Are you guys watching Bush on BOR?
I think he is doing awesome!! He smacked down Hillary, very subtly!
Sorry... Back to the regularly scheduled topic :)
I like your tag line Tony.
Where is Cash? Has he fallen off the planet? I hope not. He was coming around so nicely.
I'll bet you did!
Well thanks to Nifong he had his DC deal reneged on. He now has a record because of a lying drugged up hooker.
