who began the Tiger Force unit that later committed a string of atrocities in Vietnam, died this week. He was 74.

I didn't always agree with Col. Hackworth, but is this really how the AP introduces and obit about one of America's most decorated soldiers in all of history?

Shameful.

"The Toledo Blade" is continuing to beat their chest over the Pulitzer they won for their series a few years ago.

If you think that is bad, have a look at this AP report. Three paragraphs. The last one on his reporting that Rumsfeld signed condolences letter by machine. AP just using his death to make a dig at Bush indirectly through Rumsfeld.
Maybe it would be worth a paragraph in book, but for sure not in a 3 paragraph article.
Geez, it is nice not to have to rely on outfits like AP for news anymore. The sooner the MSM dies, the better. http://www.wistv.com/Global/story.asp?S=3312741
