Can’t Imagine Why.
It seems that the reporter that leaked private conversations is wondering why his request to be embedded with Military in Afghanistan was rejected according to Army Times. The author of the Rolling Stone article that ended the military career of Army Gen. Stanley McChrystal, the former top commander in Afghanistan, has been denied permission to […]
ADL Announces Opposition to Mosque Near Ground Zero
This admittedly surprised me. The ADL isn’t exactly a red-blooded conservative and while they do criticize some of the opponents of the Mosque for “bigoted” speech, they do use some of the talking points that the conservative blogosphere has been using for awhile in regards to this mosque: In recommending that a different location be […]

Anchors Kyra Phillips and John Roberts at CNN discuss how there’s just too much free speech going on out here and it’s cutting into their own credibility and viewer share; Their claim is that there are just too many stories going around that they don’t […]
Astore: The troops aren’t heroes
Ben sent us this link yesterday to an opinion piece by William Astore, a retired Air Force lieutenant colonel published in the LA Times. Astore is tired of our troops being called heroes; since the events of 9/11, there’s been an almost religious veneration of U.S. service members as “Our American Heroes” (as a well-intentioned […]
Battle of Wanat revisited.
Since the removal of the letters of reprimand there is been some protests. This one caught my eye that was posted by Thomas E. Ricks. He has been posting articles about the families of those who where involved. Scores of men who were at Wanat have testified that they were down to one bottle of […]
