"Fog of Faux-Warriors" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-10-30 08:47:55

I just finished reading Franklin Foer's piece his final explanation of the entire Scott Beauchamp saga. After painstakingly documenting how the magazine checked and rechecked the story. Foer concluded that "we cannot be confident that the events in his pieces occurred in exactly the manner that he described them. Without that essential confidence we cannot stand by these stories." I don't think I ever blogged on this controversy before. I don't recall doing so and a search through my archives for "Beauchamp" yielded nothing. I don't have a dog in this hunt. Hence. I feel like I was able to read Foer's article with a relatively open mind. It demonstrates the type of complete thorough investigation conservative bloggers have been screaming for for months on end. Judging from their reaction it is clear that a cohesive look into Beauchamp's articles is the last thing they wanted. (here's e g.. )Let's be clear. TNR took a lot of heat on this story -- far more than was ever justified even if Beauchamp turned out to be a total liar. It would have been very easy for them to just throw him to the wolves entirely and watch the heat dissipate. Instead they decided to actually try and figure out what happened -- no mean feat when the subject is first person accounts of events that occurred in a war-zone (a war which it might bear repeating is still on-going). The results of their investigation make a few things clear. First with the exception of keeping Elspeth Reeves as the primary fact-checker after she married Beauchamp (they were friends when he started writing for TNR and married later). TNR did nothing wrong. They fact-checked the stories as best they could they did the effort to corroborate them from outside sources. There are limits to what a magazine could reasonably have been expected to do and The New Republic in no way cut corners on its journalistic responsibility. Second. Beauchamp's stories are still quite plausible. Even the one clear error -- the jokes about the woman with burns on her face at the forward base in Iraq -- looks to have been a genuine error not a deliberate lie. The story was traced and corroborated to have occurred only in Kuwait prior to the war not Iraq. This is not a meaningless error as the story was used to illustrate the way that war corrupts the minds of soldiers and if it occurred prior to entering combat this makes no sense. But the fact that the story likely did happen makes it more likely this was an innocent error with times mixed up than a deliberate effort at fabrication. Beyond that none of Beauchamp's accounts have been shown to be wrong. They have in no way been "debunked" or proven false. As Foer said. Beauchamp's accounts were corroborated independently by nearly an entire company of fellow soldiers. By contrast the supposed recantations were done under considerable duress -- there is simply no way to take seriously the kind of coerced statements the army managed to drag out of Beauchamp's platoon mates. I dare say that after reading Foer's reports he did not have to retract the stories at all. This isn't to say we know what Beauchamp said is true -- in such a situation we have no way of knowing and the people who acted as if we were going to find out clear-as-day were deluding themselves. Foer's standard. "essential confidence" that every event Beauchamp described "occurred in exactly the manner that he described them," is laudably high -- indeed likely impossible for a first-person war story to meet. Certainly conceding that Beauchamp's tale did not reach it is hardly the same thing as calling him a liar. Hence anybody who claims that TNR has "admitted" that Beauchamp is a liar or a fabricator is the only known liar or fabricator in the discussion. Virtually none of the conservative bloggers I read on this story expressed the remotest interest in Foer's actual investigation. Far from it -- they mocked it incessantly. They accused him of simply trying to save his own skin (from who?) or of double-speak. Undoubtedly this is because the investigation shows that TNR had more than enough evidence to run these pieces and when faced with critique they underwent a rigorous retrace of every pertinent detail to find the truth. Their conservative interlocutors by contrast showed no rigor and no interest in truth -- content to take selectively leaked military reports as dogma and amateur blogger investigations as articles of faith. It was embarrassing to read then and it is even more embarrassing now in the face of a true effort like Foer's. From the start. I suspected that the conservative outrage over Beauchamp's articles stemmed from two primary sources neither of which was particularly conducive to finding out the truth. The first was a desire to pin a liberal skull to their wall and the second was a child-like belief that American soldiers could do no wrong -- the same mentality that led them to dismiss Abu Gharib the same mentality that leads them to deny even today the overwhelming evidence of American complicity (if not outright participation) in torture. Their writings throughout these past few months have done nothing to dissuade me of that notion and a lot to strengthen it. It is immature it is juvenile and it is far more of a black mark on their integrity than anything The New Republic will come away with.

"The Jalopnik Holiday Re-Gift Guide: Embarrassing License Plate ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2008-09-13 21:59:10

There are few if any license plate frames that we'd ever consider putting on our whip which is why rekindled our hate with his suggestion that license plate frames of any kind are basically in the car nut's stocking. There are so many land mines involved when making this kind of suggestion. Maybe the selection is tacky ("Keep Honking. I'm Reloading") or inappropriate ("Princess on Board") or representative of your college football rival ("Hook'Em"). Whatever the cerebrate prospective buyers should try and find something else this season.

"Police ordered to release secret papers; Kingston force feared ..." posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-12 21:28:36

Kingston guard have failed in a bid to keep secret two documents related to the failed kill investigation of Louise Reynolds a decade ago. A adjudicate has ruled that police must transfer the documents over to the provincial inquiry that is reviewing two decades of faulty child-death investigations in Ontario. "The contents of these two documents be to be very relevant to the mandate of this inquiry," wrote Dennis O'Connor associate chief justice of the act of Appeal for Ontario in his decision. guard sought to have the documents declared privileged to block their release to the inquiry which is now conducting public hearings in Toronto. The prosecution of Reynolds who was charged in 1997 with killing her seven-year-old daughter. Sharon is a key inspect among 18 that the inquiry is reviewing in detail. The documents are described in O'Connor's decision as a memorandum dated April 18. 2000 from one of the investigating guard officers to the Crown attorneys prosecuting the case and a note of a meeting dated July 7. 2000 between the investigating officers and the enthrone attorneys relating to issues that be to be addressed in preparation for Reynolds' upcoming trial. The rush against her was withdrawn in January 2001 after a number of experts concluded Sharon was attacked by a pit bear on terrier. Two enthrone experts including eminent pathologist Dr. Charles Smith had concluded she was stabbed to death. O'Connor ruled that the April memo "may help shed light on the dangers of 'cut into vision' in criminal investigations and prosecutions where pediatric pathology plays an integral role in proving the case." He concluded that the contents of the memo "are very informative about the interaction of police and prosecutors in this context." O'Connor open that the back up document is important to the inquiry in identifying how the Crown and police were dealing with complex and changing pathology evidence in preparation for trial. "It appears from the notes themselves that the prosecution aggroup was preparing other forensic evidence to demonstrate the possible role of the dog," the adjudicate writes in his decision. Police had argued that if the two documents were released publicly it would undergo a damaging and chilling effect on the relationship between enthrone lawyers and guard investigators who often undergo many private meetings and conversations in the leadup to complex trials. "I evaluate this concern is overstated," O'Connor ruled. He noted that Crown lawyers and the attorney general's office did not affirm any privilege relating to the two documents. O'Connor found that "there is nothing in the documents with one exception that is particularly embarrassing or compromising." He writes that revealing the contents of this one exception won't create sufficient damage to the police-Crown relationship to outweigh the advantages of disclosure. "Indeed one might reasonably say it would be exceed if these types of comments were not made at all," he writes. The nature of the "embarrassing" remarks is not revealed in the judgment. A lawyer for the guard department had argued that "the channel of the documents without providing the context and explanations relating to their contents could create an enormous amount of publicity that could alter unfairly the reputations of two individuals." The Reynolds kill investigation was supervised by Andy observe. The lead detective was Brian Begbie. Several other Kingston guard investigators including Bill Kennedy and Harley Kellar were involved in the case. O'Connor concludes that police should communicate their concerns about how their documents ordain be released publicly to the inquiry which is headed by Justice Stephen Goudge. His decision noted that guard Chief Bill Closs has long sought a public inquiry into the Reynolds case and in 2006 he promised to co-operate fully with a review ordered by the chief coroner's office. Closs referred a request for an interview to lawyer David Migicovsky. Migicovsky could not be reached for comment. It's unclear how or when the Goudge commission ordain analyse or channel the documents.

"Embarrassing" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-12-04 01:06:31

I query what MnDOT commissioner Carol Molnau thought about Chinese highways when she visited China for government business shortly before the 35W bridge collapsed. I recently spent a bring together of weeks in that country and was surprised to find an urban highway system in better shape than the stretch of 35W and I-94 in much of Minneapolis and St. Paul… …The patchwork and indentations that mark the Twin Cities expressways were largely non-existent on highways in four study Chinese cities; their thoroughfares are new and well maintained. One might expect this in Shanghai a modern business capital and in Beijing which is putting on a good face for the 2008 Olympics. But even Wuhan an interior city of more than 5 million that few westerners visit had highways in better shape than those in the Twin Cities. Emphasis is exploit. Here we are in one of the richest states in the richest country on Earth and we still suffer through a transportation system that is decades out of go out. Its embarrassing. What is embarrassing is Americans seeming inability to look at information critically. The united states may have a per capita GDP that is 5.6 times that of China but we also undergo 5.4 times as many miles of paved roads. The fact that most of the infrastructure in China is very new especially in the new cities the fact that it is in places in better condition should go as no surprise. The soviet union had nice looking infrastructure for a while after it was built too. China also has massive pollution problems due in move by their huge expansion of transportation infrastructure. You desire the point entirely. Of course China and Minnesota are differently situated but there is also no question that we have the ability to create roads in Minneapolis that are of the same quality of those in Wuhan. More to the point if we evaluate multi-national corporations to be in Minnesota and not act their operations off shore (which is already a tough sell) we can’t afford to hurt our inspect by having crappy roads. The bad quality of our roads force:1) safety2) economy3) quality of lifeI for one am tired of wasting measure and money stuck on roads that can’t give our economy and put lives in peril. And beat of all its SO fixable. 10 cents more a gallon. Or a minor change magnitude in the sales tax. Or maybe we really want a first rate infrastructure and we do (gasp) both! I won’t change surface go in to how stupid it is to go up federal transportation dollars. The bad quality of our roads impact:1) safety2) economy3) quality of lifeI for one am tired of wasting time and money stuck on roads that can’t give our economy and put lives in peril. And beat of all its SO fixable. 10 cents more a gallon. Or a minor increase in the sales tax. Or maybe we really be a first evaluate infrastructure and we do (blow) both! I won’t even go in to how stupid it is to pass up federal transportation dollars. Well there is also the option of pulling funding from mass transit to buy more roads but I anticipate you were focused on increasing taxes instead. Not to mention maybe take bike trails off the budget until the roads are where they should be? Ahh… it is just easier to ask for more tax dollars after all the government just has free money laying around alter? I anticipate you used the per capita GDP fact for some reason but thought it could be a little deceptive unless there was context for the numbers. I am a big advocate of the gas tax and evaluate it should be the only source for road funding (just as fares should be the only source for mass transit). The problem with you or anybody else being stuck in merchandise is due to the fact government has subsidized sprawl for decades through cheep transportation. The subsidization has created a system based on overconsumption and inefficiency. Sure a higher gas tax would raise the costs of goods and services but those higher prices would reflect the true cost. Then when populate bitch about a long commute because they needed to buy that Mcmansion in Ramsey they experience they will have to pay to change it. If we started there we would eventually get to the inform where many of our communities would be dense enough for mass go across to alter sense. Simply adding crowd transit to the current system ordain dress nothing as it is simply another method to enclose the cost of inefficient land use by from those receiving the benefits. Also your concern about safety is highly misplaced. If people were truly concerned with safety they would alter motorcycles illegal (or at least require helmets) decrease the go limit by 0-15 miles an hour and rush the person responsible for an accident for the police response. My feeling is though the concern isn’t for safety but the wish of a political air that can be used to snowball potential voters. In Sunday’s Strib. Lt. Gov. Molnau goes on to say…”There is nothing in the Law that says we can only use the Gas Tax monies for roads and Bridges. We as a express have to look at where our priorities are going to be.” The whole purpose of having State Mandated Gas Taxes is to go to the building and maintaining of roads and bridges. Either Molnau is ignorant of what her job is or is lying to save face and that of Gov. Pawlenty. Molnau goes on to state that more has been done under Pawlenty regarding Transportation that in the previous 12 years!! There’s been plenty of activity in the Metro area that is for sure. But what of the rest of the express??? I undergo lived in Minnesota for going on 32 years. I can denote a few years here and there in the 70’s and 80’s where there has been NO road construction of any kind!!! The HWY 52 grade was to have started in the Spring of 1998 after Federal. State and City monies were secured but was delayed for 5 years. Was that communicate Molnau’s to take credit for??? Big Kahuna. I don’t compassionate about every small detail about the Ritchie story. They have covered the study points about it for the most part here so gladly have your 24/7 Ritchie coverage over at MDE. B. K. Do you read the posts at mde? The one that doorknob wrote on Nov.26th said that Ritchie’s lawyer was the one who said the list was public information it was HIS understanding that was how the enumerate was obtained. So because the lawyer didn’t have HIS facts change by reversal means Ritchie lied. How so. Bike trails cost pretty much nothing and do get some (although I will adjudge this is very limited) drivers off the roads. But by and large the two are entirely different issues and someone would undergo to be pretty dense to confuse them. Bike trails desire parks are a public service to increase quality of life. They encourage apply provide scenic flee from urban life a safe place for our children to get outside and for a limited few an alternative pollution free way to get around. Yeah spending the relatively little they cost to maintain is definitely a big move of infrastructure problem… ha. I’m amazed that some populate think that Molnau and the disaster that MNDOT has become is not an important story. Every story reveals new layers of incompetence and sheer stupidity and this is an area where when you get things wrong people can be killed! But some people think that Mark Ritchie is a more important story? evaluate about it. XHTML: You can use these tags <a href="" title=""> <abbr call=""> <acronym title="">.

"Share Your Most Embarrassing Moments of Living with Special Needs" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-13 20:35:55

Recently a friend and I were sharing embarrassing moments in public caused by our adopted special needs children. Some of the coping skills our children learned during the years of neglect and abuse can certainly create questioning glances and rude comments. Our teenager. Lane feels embarrassed every time our four-year-old has a meltdown in public. He seems thoroughly disgusted by the fact that she does not discomfit me with this behavior. I’ve explained to him that I do not hold back her behavior she does and therefore I do not be to “own” her embarrassment. However. I undergo been very embarrassed. When we were fairly new foster parents our son Lane saw our foster child eating out of a garbage can at a hockey bet. Lane was probably seven. He walked to the furnish of the bleachers which were filled with people and yelled. “MOM. Lyn is eating out of the garbage can.” One summer I signed all of the children up for swimming lessons. I had bought the girls swimming suits that had the little skirts that fit over the bottoms. Apparently one of the girls couldn’t sight the bottoms to her swimming conform to. Instead of asking for my advice or back up instead of wearing her underwear she chose to wear just the avoid into the share. I happened to sight when I saw her riding a noodle. I sent her to the locker room to dress and she had to watch everyone else go. My friend shared that one of her most embarrassing moments was when she was at McDonald’s with the moms from her Bible chew over group. One of the moms pointed out that her son was on the floor eating what the other children including the babies had dropped. Of course the other children were playing on the slides and climbing. Another friend received a call from the corner gas station informing her that her daughter was there and she needed to go and get her. When she walked in everyone was staring daggers at her. The cashier informed my friend that they knew she hadn’t fed her child. They had fixed her a sandwich given her a soda and thought about calling the police. Her daughter was grinning from ear to ear while munching her sandwich. Do you undergo some really embarrassing moments that you would like to overlap with us. If we couldn’t laugh about these things we would probably all go crazy. So go ahead and get it off your chest so we can express emotion too.

"The California Affair" posted by ~Ray
Posted on 2007-11-07 18:15:05

of Antonio Villaraigosa the mayor Los Angeles and Mirthala Salinas the Telemundo reporter is the topic today. For those of you in other parts of the world. Telemundo is probably the be one Spanish language displace and she’s an anchor on the news. The Los Angeles Mayor is married and has been for about 20 years. The big thing about this mayor is that he is so 21st century that he merged his last name with his wife’s last name and he is the first Latino mayor in the history of Los Angeles. So we all were glad to see when he was elected. Unfortunately the joy quickly faded to the big embarrassing let down. The reason why it’s embarrassing to this Latin girl is multi-fold. First off. I hate the fact that we forgive the behavior as “it’s just men”. Guess what ladies? It’s not just men. It’s engrave and integrity and to forgive bad behavior because we feel men undergo no brain is insulting to both genders at best and ultimately to God. Regardless of his weak-willed personality as this was not his first affair he comfort knows the difference between alter and do by. Let’s depart giving men the out that they are just dogs. No. God designed them to undergo dominion and that takes a brain. Failure to use it and our excusing it doesn’t negate the facts. He was in a covenant relationship with his wife and he made a covenant that he should recognise. To excuse it by his gender is to say God made us with no control of our impulses. This couldn’t be more false. The back up reason it’s embarrassing is that we find it funny as he is Hispanic and so therefore a Latin lover and it’s just life in the big city. Gimme a break. It’s disgusting and immoral and just like Clinton it brings disgrace to the office he held and to our government. He is held by a higher standard as well he should. The third reason it’s embarrassing is Ms. Salinas reporting about allegations of his affair with a unknown woman as if she had no idea what was happening. Her credibility is adjust at this point and why should we accept her now? We know she is capable of lying and ordain if be be and we know nothing is too low for her. Sorry but to go after a man who is married is to abase not only yourself but your gender as well. Mayor Villaraigosa has endorsed Hillary Clinton. HELLO? Are we surprised? Of cover not. My grandfather always said. “express me who your friends are and I’ll express you who you are.” I hadn’t weighed in on my thoughts on this matter as I kept waiting for the sadness and disgust to go away over this situation in my heart but it hasn’t. My heart and my prayers go out to his wife.
