The charges against the Duke lacrosse players should be dropped immediately, and the people demanding the dismissal the loudest and most forcefully should be the very people who have made a living allegedly fighting against racial injustice.
I've said this before, but it's worth saying again: Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton should be in Durham, N.C., today, promising civil disobedience until the charges are dropped and prosecutor Mike Nifong resigns.
Ed Bradley and "60 Minutes" should never be mistaken for Thurgood Marshall and the Supreme Court. Bradley is just a TV reporter and "60 Minutes" is just a TV show, but you couldn't help but be moved by the story they aired Sunday night about the Duke lacrosse rape allegations.
The three accused players gave their first interviews, and two of them claimed they had airtight, documented alibis. The accuser's one-night sidekick, Kim Roberts, seems to have settled on telling the truth rather than trying to spin the story for fame or money. She contradicted several of the statements the accuser gave to police.

If he were a Repub, he would have resigned or been forced out a long time ago, even if he was completely innocent.

Whatever she found out, it really seemed to bother her.
Super Sleuths
The super sleuths at Talk Left have deduced that defendant Seligman must be suspect Adam. Through a combination of creative TIVO-ing and piecing together the accuser’s police statements from April 4 and April 6, they have also revealed that the accuser, in her written statement to police gives four names for her three attackers:
"The boys hit and kicked me. Matt grabbed me and looked and me and said sweetheart you can‘t leave. He grabbed the back of my neck and said I‘m going to kill you (BLANK) (BLANK) if you don‘t shut up. They started kicking me in my behind and my back. Matt hit me in the face while Dan and Brett kicked me."
"I heard Nikki on the other side of the door, and when Adam opened the door she rushed in and helped Adam to get me dressed. They dragged me out to the car because my legs couldn't move. Nikki said, "What happened girl, did they hurt you," I said yes, and she said that she would get help for me."
"She wanted to take me to Raleigh and drop me off. But I told [name redacted] to take me home. She said that she would call the police. She took me to the Kroger on Hillsborough Rd. to call the police. She tried to get me out of the car before the police arrived, but I was afraid to get out. When the police came, she pulled me back into the car, and the police took me to the hospital from Kroger parking lot."
"7:27 p.m.: I want to add that Adam ejaculated in my mouth and I spit it out onto the floor, part of it fell onto the floor after he pulled his [redacted]" Talk Left

* They are even counting bathroom wall tiles...
* Sleuth this- why did Leary and Cheek meet with the DA early in March BEFORE the party occurred?
* How many Nifongs are there on the Riverside HS lacrosse team?
"How many Nifongs are there on the Riverside HS lacrosse team?"
I did a post on this way back. To all appearances they are Mike Nifong's nephews. The extended Nifong family appears to attend Duke Memorial Methodist Church.
And blacks wonder why crime rates in their neighborhoods are so high... They are continuosly preyed upon by "their own people"....
(from a post found at Liestoppers) :
Add one more African American commentator to the list :(of those now calling for the case to be dropped) :

Something's messed up cause we already have a pic of RS in a red shirt

The Durham DA interviewed by MSNBC:
"The allegation that I've heard that this is all some kind of a setup
is quite an elaborate allegation, and I haven't heard any convincing
circumstances being discussed about not only who would do such
a thing, but why such an elaborate plan would have been discussed.
And whether or not the people that are supposedly involved were
even capable of such an elaborate deception,....."
* Seven months later, maybe there is now more to 'discuss'.
WHO would be capable of such an 'elaborate deception'?

Okay, who was sitting in on our interview with the School Board? It was supposed to be private. ;-)
