[untrained skeptic]

This is one of the few articles I've read on the subject that doesn't use unnamed pentagon officials as the source for it's material.

I don't think the article added any new information on the subject for me, but I'm impressed that it appears like a genuine journalistic effort. That's rare these days.

This paper is located in OCEANSIDE, CA.

OCEANSIDE is about 80% Marines. They would not tolerate crappy reporting. Secondly, you can catch the North County Times online. If you see an article by Mark Walker or Teri Figueroa, it is good.
