The Army War College said nothing. Read the article. The war college
published the report. It didn't write it and disclaimed agreement with
it.

Why lie?

Uh, I think you're beginning to loose it there, John. I didn't write
the article, so how could I lie?

Did you not make the following statement?

************************************************** ********
Army War College says Iraq "unneccesary"
************************************************** *******

Again, the Army War College said nothing. Read the article. The war
college published the report. It didn't write it and disclaimed
agreement with it.

No, I didn't make the above statement. That is a title. I just don't
understand the right. It wouldn't matter if someone caught Bush
killing a cat with his bare hands, on tape, with sound, and perfect
video. You all would still say the person who took the video was a
left wing, unpatriotic liar!!!

In my computer, when I post a new message, I type the title. In doing
so I am making a statement. You, for example, could have titled your
post:

*Jeffrey Record says Iraq "unnecessary"*

But that wouldn't be much of an attention grabber, would it? Therefore
you chose to make the statement you did, which was a lie.

In your example, I would entitle the piece something like:

*Bush kills rabid cat with bare hands, thus protecting hundreds of
spectators who were soon to be bitten*

See how easy it is to be honest?

No, you're comparing apples and oranges here. If someone brought forth
hard evidence that a crime had been committed, then there would be no
arguments.

But you have done nothing more than quote the OPINION of someone else.
Opinions are always suspect, and there is certainly no guarantee that
it in any way reflects anything other the writer's personal feelings
and bias.

He's picking apart your header.
"Army War College Says........."

Had you typed "Report published by Army War College Says........" he wouldn't
have even this extremely weak issue.

Do remember- anything said that casts the right wing in a questionable light is
always a "lie". No specific intent to misinform need apply.

Maybe this will make John content:

Army War College Believes Some of Its Personnel May Have a Valid Point,
Considering Their Unusual Category of Education

Is that vague enough? :-)

Not sure. What is it you're trying to say? Are you trying to say the
Army War College is anti-administration and anti-Bush as evidenced by
the article published in its magazine? OK, say it. Suppose the
two-star who is in charge of the Army War College is anti-Bush. So
what? He is allowed to be. He can disagree with policies, especially
if he's not in a position where he either executes the order or
resigns. This is a free country.

About three weeks ago, I wrote a letter to the Washington Post
questioning the credibility of one of their journalists. The letter
was published. Does this mean the Washington Post no longer believes
in the credibility of said journalist?

Maybe more of the old much ado about nothing?

Had nothing to do with wing affiliation. Had to do with the truth.

It would make a great nuclear waste dump site. On the otherhand, who would

Potential competitors in the annual Sopchoppy worm grunting festival
have been complaining about the high cost of a permit for harvesting
worms in the national forest. I agree, $25/yr is too much for
somebody who makes his living by "gruntin up them red wigglers"
