Either the Washington Post writers were lying, or their "source" was lying. Anybody going to pay for this lie?

No. Of course not. Could this be a Jayson Blair incident? Since we know the truth now, I think the Washington Post writers need to seriously explain themselves. They ran the Rambo story. They better write a follow up now, or turn in their resignations.

That would be taking responsibility. Not something liberals are known for.

Dear Dogbyte12:

Perhaps some kind FReeper can dig up the articles for me, but there was a young, blond male soldier who died heroically, fighting to his last, from that unit and in that battle. Apparently, his actions were mistakenly credited to Jessica; however, the record was later corrected. Articles were written about him, with interviews from his parents. If I recall correctly, his first name was Steven.

There doesn't appear to have been any forethought of malice, just spotty intelligence during a frenzied period, which was later reported because it came from a bonafide source. From there, the media had a feeding frenzy.

You think this is the first story they got wrong? lol They openly lied about Bush that time when they deliberately quoted him out of context.
