Thanks. I couldn't decide if it was me too much wine, maybe ;-), or my computer. Sounds like it's Salon. They must have reset the matrix? Where did that cat go?

If you were really interested in 'good journalism', you would not have attacked GG as a back-handed means of defending John King.

You would have gone after John King yourself or thanked GG for having done it for you.

King's 'interview' of McCain was clearly not 'journalism'. It was a free infomercial disguised as a 'serious interview' for propaganda purposes, and it was very transparent. Those questions weren't just softball. They were t-ball.

I've made arrangements to have Tim Smith at Kent State University contacted and to inquire as to whether he really did post a response to GG on Salon. My guess is that he didn't and will be annoyed that a wingnut had the gall to impersonate him.

Let's find out, shall we?

Like father like son Professor.

The rates are very much higher if you take his figures. I had heard that they were not counting any injury as a combat injury unless the person was on a combat mission, so that people involved in supply that hit roadside bombs weren't qualifying for things, the discrepancy, if there isn't another kind of big explanation for it, might indicate a similar parsing, that was why I was asking. The 16:1 would give a wounded figure at close to 50,000 instead of the 20,000 figure issued by the Pentagon. Comorbidity would cause problems in any war, but it's hard to see how it would affect the number of injured in the right direction.

If we want to prevent the current government sycophants, politicians and the greedy in our intelligence community from selling us out as happened in Pakistan according to that article you linked, how about this? When the Dem president takes over, he/she should take all the “ex-patriot” intelligence officers who valued their ethics and profession and therefore left the government and put them in charge. They will know how to identify and eliminate those who have sold out or were just incompetent.

Nequals1.... Sorry to make such insensitive comments about your hometown; I'm a provincial myself, and a lifelong and intermittently reluctant reader of the Portland Oregonian. It's owned by Newhouse, same as the Times-Picayune, and really not that bad. But realizing that jobs like those at the Beacon-Journal would be my life, at least at first, I dropped out of journalism school.

WT..... at the hotel in question, I'd be the one in a mink coat with curlers on under my turban, and perhaps my "sweep" might not be so steady, depending on the hour.

I didn’t require GG to prove a negative. GG asserted that “…these are all of the "questions" he asked…” He mistakenly made that assertion without evidence, and he needs to correct that mistake.

BTW, you can prove a negative if you place sufficient conditions upon it.

Denning,

Your analogy isn’t consistent. To be consistent you would say that King is the cinematographer and CNN is the film editor/director. Then Glenn as the critic saying, “These are all of the scenes King filmed” based on the finished film is using irrelevent evidence.

Glenn would need evidence that is other than the finished film, and to do that he would have to contact King, the cinematographer, or CNN, the film editor/director.

"The Beacon Journal

That was my hometown paper growing up. It was, how shall I say, not on a par with the Cleveland Plain Dealer or the NYTimes."

Come now nequals! Since you are obviously not a real Journalist, you are hardly qualified to evaluate the merits of such a bastion of illuminated Jounalism! Harumph Harumph...

the "perfessor"

Bebop... You also make me smile. The 13th floor isn't as unlucky as it seems. It's honest, anyway. You don't have that leg trophy up on the wall yet, do you? As much as I'm in favor of making lemonade out of lemons, I'd prefer not.

Keep hurling that goose poop. Those GOPers look good in it.

I cannot believe that John King is so ensconced in his little ego bubble that he'd actually write and send an email like this that could get posted for others to see!

King is so irrelevant; a corporate whore and a lousy journalist that I would THINK he'd take a quiet seat at the back of the bus, being careful not to bring too much attention to himself, instead of jumping into a forum like Salon, taking on someone like Greenwald and spouting a self important egotistical monologue!

I can SEE why he's such a poor "journalist". He really BELIEVES he's someone with relevance, a following and who has an authentic impact in and on MSM.

That's just AMAZING! Talk about the bliss of a total lack of self awareness!

What a joke. Dude needs to take some classes, learn what journalism really is, and start that path to enlightenment by popping his head with a pin!!! LOL

NOT one of the GREATS, by a long shot, and now PROVEN to be one of the delusional; a typical corporate hack trick-or-treating as a "reporter" and apparently damned proud of it! Geeeez! No WONDER we're having so many problems with today's media output.

Glenn, on the way other hand, is by FAR one of the GREATS! We're lucky to have him now, in these dark days.

Thank you, Glenn.

If we are what we eat, then I'm more likely oatmeal, pumpkin and various soups (at least in this winter season).

I don't seem to eat as much chocolate as I used to, maybe because I just (or, mostly) eat the good stuff. Green & Blacks.

Yes, I have heard and said: "I love you so much I could eat you up!" ...but mostly about babies. They appear tastier, don't you think?

"Why? That's so silly to eat a horse any day."

Have you read your granddaughter the book about the Old Lady Who Swallowed A Fly? I used to make my grandson sing the song with me in the car when he was younger.

The last part is...

There was an old lady who swallowed a cow.
I don't know how she swallowed a cow!
She swallowed the cow to catch the goat...
She swallowed the goat to catch the dog...
She swallowed the dog to catch the cat...
She swallowed the cat to catch the bird ...
She swallowed the bird to catch the spider
That wriggled and jiggled and wiggled inside her.
She swallowed the spider to catch the fly.
But I dunno why she swallowed that fly... perhaps she'll die.

There was an old lady who swallowed a horse -
She died, of course.
