I'm Not Sure
[Read the article: The media's special relationship with John McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]What "al-Qaeda" means anymore no matter who says it, in whatever context. It's become like a catch-all phrase. Used whenever it is needed to make whatever point is trying to be made.

If I Had Been A Reporter At The Scene
[Read the article: The media's special relationship with John McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Of the Lieberman-McCain correction I'd have asked----Hold it, you mean there's something not true about al-Qaeda?

I Wonder
[Read the article: The media's special relationship with John McCain]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]How many people we've killed because they were "al-Qaeda", but they weren't really al-Qaeda. They said at his peak bin Laden had 10,000 guys running through those obstacle courses in those Afghan camps.
When you consider how faulty the overall intelligence was, you really have to balk at the on-the-ground, on-the-spot intelligence. It seems a convenient way for battling Muslim factions to fight. Report such and such as "al-Qaeda".

Actually The Timing
[Read the article: The GOP attack plan for Barack Obama]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Proves it wasn't the Clinton campaign and they are not race baiters. They do exhaustive research on opponents and if the church is selling them, the Clinton campaign knew about it and must have considered it out of bounds...........And if they had been the ones responsible they would have been used long before an almost insurmountable delegate lead by the opponent. It would have been used right after Iowa.

There Is No Double Standard
[Read the article: Penn memo claims "shift to Hillary"]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]On Michigan and Florida. The initial agreement was based on the assumption of a candidate clinching early, even if Hillary thought it was going to be her. Now no one is going to get to the required 2025. So changes have to be made to make the 2025 or the popular vote attainable for either one.

The Belmont Coach
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Misfired on his ego trip. Taking it in under your basket with 4 seconds down 1, 2 versus 15, you simply have to get some sort of reasonable shot. Even if it's a screen and a long one. Lobbing that ball up into the gut was an attempt to end it with some big coaching call during the timeout that everyone would be ass-kissing afterwards.

More Birdbrain Bass-ackwards Coaching
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Last night I saw something in a game, and I've seen the same thing every time I've watched a game where this situation arises.
Team A leads by 2 or 3 points. Team A brings the ball in bounds with 50 seconds to play. Team B under coaches orders, rooted in the philosophy of one-possession-game-doo-doo, plays defense and allows them to run the shot clock down and shoot-- hoping for a miss and then get the rebound and proceed with their last possession and tie or win if down by 2, or tie if down by 3.
First off, if Team A makes the shot with 15 or 17 seconds left in the game it's over. Second off, if they miss and offensive rebound it's most probably over. In this situation you have to start the fouling strategy crap the moment they bring the ball in with 50 seconds. It's not much, but it's the best chance.

I've Also
[Read the article: King Kaufman's Sports Daily]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Made and addendum to the proper philosophy (which almost no one employs) that when you are up 3 and the opponent brings the ball up in the final few seconds you foul and give them a one-plus-one or two free throws preventing the tying 3.
I've seen my last 3 pointer at the buzzer to win by one without reacting harshly against it---If you are up 2 and the opponent brings the ball up court in the final 10 seconds you foul them. This way you cannot lose in regulation time. These are huge pressure free throws and much different even for a good free throw shooter. If there is a timeout preceeding this scenario for discussion, you may want to refrain from the 90 percent shooter, maybe, but you play close man to man and if the ball is passed to or dribbled up by a 70 pecenter or lower you foul for sure. If they miss one of the free throws victory is almost certain. If they make both the game is tied and now YOU have the final possession with 6 seconds left to possibly win. If your last shot misses you don't lose you go to overtime.
The loss in regulation possibility when ahead with 7 or 8 seconds left is thus eliminated.
