Unkowingly misled or willingly misled? The article has a link to consortiumnews that rips the Times for apparently taking administration leaks, drawing hard conclusions from them, but ignoring alternative explanations. The Times has "lacked skepticism," IMHO.

But the Times is right - finally after all theses years- about one thing: this was all a big "governement handout" that they printed.

Its easy to mislead people who want to believe.

Is that what this has come to:?

Aw, shucks, we’re sorry that we ran with a pile of crap. We promise to do better next time.

Do they want U.S. involvement in Ukraine?

Libya? Syria? Egypt?

We need to stay out of this, IMHO.

I don’t care about Russia or Ukraine or Putin or Obama in the sense of our soldiers or our nation getting involved in another could-be “spring” or some mess (like Libya/Benghazi/Egypt/etc) that could come back to haunt us.

Whom did we arm in Afghanistan way before 9/11 that came back to bite us?

I support America. That’s it. Not Amerika.

The blogger is exaggerating. He's referring to the photos of the bearded Spetznas, which in only some of the photos is "grainy." It is hard to say if it's the same Russkie photographed in Georgia, then Crimea, and then in Eastern Ukraine. It could just be some other guy with identical uniform, military patch, and long beard.

The other photos have no such ambiguities, albeit, the fellows are all masked. Though, they're in the same exact uniform, same ammo bags, same weapons, etc. The Russians used the same method in Chechnya, moving in Russian troops pretending to be Pro-Moscow Chechnyans, and they have forces who train to be "ambiguous" for these kinds of operations.

wire services supply the photos ...the State Department will provide the story... #EVERYTHINGOLDISNEWAGAIN

Now back to our continuing coverage of the crisis in journ0lism that’s resulting from all those unregulated unlicensed pajama-wearing bloggers who print news that’s not been vetted.
