There is an aspect of this I find discouraging.

What does not discourage me is that the Left and their allies (including many “Republican” elected officials) deliberately use lies and misinformation to “muddy the waters”.

We expect that from them.

What is discouraging is that there are a significant number of people on “our” side (including some vocal Freepers) who seem bent on portraying nearly anything to do with the Arizona investigation as a farce, with special contempt (deriding the efforts the company doing the forensic computer analysis - Cyber Ninjas) as completely inept.

To me, this seems to play directly into the hands of the Left and their Republican allies.

I don’t fault anyone who wishes to question the credentials of the company doing the forensic computer analysis or the product of their investigation. We should always question the credentials of experts and not swallow it wholly.

What I do fault is seemingly accepting statements unreservedly from the likes of CNN and the alphabet networks that the team performing the analysis somehow backtracked on their initial statement as a result of their own ineptitude and lack of knowledge of RAID arrays or whatever the rationale was.

Mr. Cotton clearly said that he had discovered a master file table “that clearly indicated that the database directory had been deleted from that server”.

It sure doesn’t sound equivocal or like backtracking.

Sometimes, I wonder if the objection some people have is to the name of the company. Instead of Cyber Ninjas”, perhaps they should have named it “Computer Systems Investigation and Analysis, Inc.” or something like that.
