Actually the AB story was broken by the Army. They did a news release on their internal investigation. About a month later somebody in the lamestream media "broke" the story.
Almost everybody forgets the Army came clean BEFORE the media reported it.
I don't. It was public information and under investigation, via the Army (I believe it was several months) before it 'broke' in the news media.
The only additions were the photos.
"Almost everybody forgets the Army came clean BEFORE the media reported it."
Unlike the lamestream media, the military has a reality check hovering over it's shoulder. It is called "combat".
Wait a minute - a thought just came to me. Is it possible the lamestream media has discovered that evolution has evolved a reality check to hover over their shoulder as they peck away at their keyboards?
Could it be that Free Republic and other "infamous Internet sites" are that reality check?
