Did I miss something?

Huh?

Charles,

You wouldn't be complaning that Fox isn't giving you a "hat tip" are you?

;)

I think you are their wire service some days... a lot of journos getting lazy.

There's a couple others you could add to that list.

/Just sayin'.

Maybe Rupert can divert some of Bill O's big paycheck. God knows he isn't earning it.

I see what you mean. At least Fox takes a look at the LGF research...once in a while.

Charles,

Anything in particular prompted this thread now?

I have noticed that Fox covers a lot of stories that we've already covered here.

I think they all read LGF before they do anything else.

Hi Fox people!

There are more than a few talk radio shows as well that you do research for.

re: #10 Charles

Damn! That's just sweet!

Charles, That's just so very impressive.

Should I tell them that they ought to be looking at Pakistan right now? In a few hours it will be known whether or not Mush can legally stand for election... also whether he will remove the uniform or not.

You're not thinking of branching off to do LGFTV, are you Charles?

/LOL

Inquiring minds what to know more.

re: #17 savage_nation

Maybe Fox should have an LGF segment on Hannity and Skeletor?

Don't kid yourself. Glenn Beck too. The blogs and particularly LGF are setting the pace.

I've noticed that BotW has been behind LGF on some stories by a few days, but enough novel stuff gets up there to still make it interesting. Taranto tends (like any blogger) to have his particular interests, and those stories get more current treatment. I suspect that a lot of his "tips" come from LGF readers, to judge by the excerpts they send him.

What, y'all don't remember Charles posting the story of the 17 lb. Russian baby?

Maybe a Fox page views line to the stats box is in order.

Charles,

I read stuff here that I don't see for days in the MSM.

I read the National Post and even they are a day behind you.

I find myself being very well informed and ahead of everyone else, by coming here.

Thank you for that.

And I recomment that Fox read the comments too.

Because Fox won't get excited for another week when Karen is approaching the Bahamas...

re: #220 Ed Mahmoud's Sock Puppet

Did I mention the computer model from Brussells destroys Miami in 9.5 days?

Ok, we all know the European Community sucks, but their model is actually better than the Canadian, Japanese and UK models.

per the Hurricane Center website:

Developed and maintained by an international organization supported by 28 European member states, the ECMWF model is the most sophisticated and computationally expensive of all the global models currently used by NHC. Due to model complexity/resolution, data assimilation, and operational requirements of the member states, the ECMWF model run is among the latest arriving of all available dynamical model guidance. The ECMWF model is a hydrostatic spectral model where the linear terms are triangularly truncated to 799 waves (the nonlinear terms are calculated at a coarser resolution) with 91 vertical levels (TL799L91). This corresponds to a horizontal grid spacing of about 25 km. The ECMWF model employs a hybrid vertical coordinate system which is terrain following in the boundary layer (sigma) and becomes purely isobaric (pressure) near the tropopause. The ECMWF was the first modeling center to use four-dimensional (4-D VAR) data initialization which allows better assimilation of off-time (non-synoptic) observations, particularly from satellite data. The ECMWF system provides forecasts out to 240 hours (10 days) twice daily. Beyond the good medium-range tropical cyclone track prediction skill of the ECMWF model, its high spatial resolution has shown potential for useful intensity forecasting.

Oh, and it isn't just the Yurpian Community, check out the US GFS model for 10 days from now!

Fox picks up many important news from LGF and if they make enough noise CNN has to say something at least. Glenn Beck also reads LGF and reports from it. I like it, at least they inform themselves and they learn what it is really important.

Yes, I'd read something here in the morning and see it on Fox by day's end. Now, I've given up TV and only read LGF, a few other blogs and The Good Book, prepping for the shaking to come.

Forget it. Unless you have at least a 4 year degree (preferably at the same school they went to) whatever you say is the incoherent babbling of an infant. Only their nuanced and superior minds understand what we should know (or not). It's the "prestige" disease that afflicts most large corporations, unless you come from a school with prestige you are not allowed to be with the grownups as you haven't been anointed by the school as all knowing/seeing, you are just a bumbling amatuer by their standards.

Brit Hume has noted LGF before, but I believe as far as news programs go, like most of the MSM, they never admit they get information from blogs, which do the legwork for a lot of outlets.

Television news is rarely original; local news is the worst, usually just a regurgitation of what's in the newspaper that day.

Ok, the best way to look at it is this: the wire services and even the networks have specialists, in reporting and researching. LGF is pretty much a specialist in the area of the ROP and the WoT. Why shouldn't one of the researchers at Fox use this blog to jumpstart the things that they are looking into doing stories about? (yes, I know that is improper grammar)

It is a compliment that they trust LGF and Charles enough to use him as a resource and check the pulse of many Americans at the same time.

I was just playing around, but you are right. That is one VERY big difference.

Maybe you could apply for a job as a researcher. They probably do pretty well. Or at least FOX could do the right thing and at least mention that they got the story from LGF. That way you'd at least get some free advertising.

I agree, we are thinking of disconnecting cable. There is very little to see besides the Food Channel (sometimes) and maybe HGTV.

Breaking: MAS Leader Steps Down From VA Immigration Commission

Thu, Sep 27, 2007 at 11:46:32 am PST

Virginia radio station WRVA is reporting that Esam Omeish, leader of the Muslim Brotherhood front group calling itself the Muslim American Society, is stepping down from the state’s Immigration Commission.

Developing...

UPDATE at 9/27/07 11:56:17 am:

LGF reader clairevoyant has called the station, and confirmed the report. Yes!

UPDATE at 9/27/07 12:10:55 pm:

The Associated Press was awfully quick to pick up this story. I wonder who tipped them off? Videos spur Va. appointee’s resignation.

UPDATE at 9/27/07 12:32:18 pm:

Here’s the official statement from Virginia governor Timothy Kaine:

UPDATE at 9/27/07 12:38:37 pm:

Here’s another video of Esam Omeish, this one taken by LGF reader ciaospirit:

Expect the seething and whining about “Islamophobia” to start very soon.

UPDATE at 9/27/07 1:16:21 pm:

Here’s the video in which Omeish tells a crowd of Washington-area Muslims at a Jerusalem Day rally, “...you have learned the way, that you have known that the jihad way is the way to liberate your land.”

LGF: One stop shopping for all your media "research" needs.

Truth is, this is just a lowly "blog"...small case. And we're all right-wing extremists.

Not like the "real" media, staffed with "real" impartial journalists, who only print the "real" news.

re: #1 WrathofG-d

Take it from me: Fox News (and several other MSM networks and programs) get a substantial portion of their "tips" straight from LGF.

Believe me, I know this for a fact. Was told it directly by not just one but two different Fox producers. Also, the same holds true for the Michael Savage show -- I have it from the horse's mouth. And the list goes on...

I think Charles is finally "putting them on notice." One can weary of being a content provider for no pay whatsoever. I had the same reaction, and finally starting charging corporate news organizations if they want to use my material. Pro-active and retroactive if I find out about it.

LGF, imo, is the Gold Standard in blogs. That fox would come here over other blogs is a testament to that, as well as a testament to the power of the blogosphere in general. This isn't the first time the msm has had to take note of Charles' work, and apparently, it won't be the last. Good for you, Charles. Keep up the great work!

Here's a big reason why Columbia's Bollinger verbally attacked Ahmadinejad Look at this letter to him from Duncan Hunter (R-CA).

Washington, D.C. – In a letter to Columbia University President Lee Bollinger, U.S. Congressman Duncan Hunter (R-CA) today criticized the University for inviting Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to speak to students and faculty this coming Monday, September 24th.

“This leader of state, which supports terrorists, is presently sending deadly roadside bombs across the Iraqi border to injure and kill American troops,” said Hunter. “Columbia University’s hosting of Ahmadinejad is a slap in the face of the 165,000 U.S. troops serving in Iraq. As he speaks, his agents will be moving roadside bombs onto the battlefield to be used against America’s military men and women.

This event, following the slanderous advertisement by MoveOn.org, depicting General Petraeus as “General Betray Us,” represents the emergence of the extreme left-wing of American politics.

Hunter concluded, “If this event takes place as scheduled, I intend to introduce legislation to cut-off Columbia University from every form of federal assistance. If the left-wingers of academia will not support our troops, they, in the very least, should not support our adversaries."

What is a Think Tank?

Sounds like LGF to me...incorporate yourself and start issuing policy papers...they listen to you now for free...why not get some compensation for it? You'd get killer tax benefits as well!

re: #108 WhiteRasta

Oh, yeah, forgot about that. :)

I have to run soon, and only have time to scan a few of the comments, but it seems like people are wondering if Fox News gets leads from LGF.

It's not "if." It's definite.

Twice, when Fox used my photos on air, I negotiated licensing fees with them, and had friendly communications with people there, and they freely admit they they scan the top blogs, LGF named in particular, for news stories. It's not even an open secret -- it's just a plain fact. There's nothing "unethical" about it -- reporters get ideas wherever they can.

Look at it thbis way: Better to have the ability to alter the public discourse than to be ignored.

Sure, it stings that they're raking in the bucks by copying Charles, but being a martyr has its own sweet satisfaction in a perverse way.

I suppose there will always be people who turn to the MSM, who will never be exposed to blogs. Those people at least get the benefit of expanded coverage and points of view.

Also, imho, blogs like LGF and Zombietime, etc., are much more newsworthy in content - much more cutting edge, than the LLL blogs, which are endless sinkwells of whining and backbiting, with very little actual news. Bet not many people haunt Daily Kos for news tips.

"Islam is the dark matter that is pushing the universe apart.

{applause!}

WRT to "LGF TV", running a blog and having a TV program are two totally different things, two totally different genres.

You can excel at one, but reek at the other. Its probably fair to say that most TV-types couldn't run a blog (let alone as well as this one), just as its probably fair to say most bloggers wouldn't be able to run a TV show well.

I think the airwaves are full of the carcasses of people who though they could easily switch from radio to TV or theater to film to television, etc.

LGF is great, but remember, it took years in evolution to get where it is right now (and its constantly a work in progress).

Here's how I see it. Lizards gather stories from around the internet. We send them to Charles in hopes that they get wider exposure. Charles sifts through these stories and his own finds. He decides which are worthy of further attention. He adds his editorial slant, perspective and context. The bigger players at Fox and Limbaugh, et al, pick the juicy & well documented bits and run with them. The bigger players do receive revenue from this system. Charles should somehow be compensated for the clearinghouse work that he does.

Personally, I'll continue to do it just to further my own views in the arena of ideas.

re: #100 MandyManners

A⁺⁺⁺

Charles, I'm not sure how well you are doing with your ad revenue, but I've been coming here as well as many other Lizardoid loyally for a few years now. This is the first site I check for news and the last before I go to bed.

It's not just Fox picking up your stories, it's also Talk Radio and other blogs. I've seen Rush, and Mark Levin pick up some of your story lines. I think the reason they don't quote you as much as they should is because of the smear campaign against you and LGF as a racist site. They want to take the benefits of the story without taking the heat by acknowledging the source.

Rest assured the most demonized people of history have many times shown to be later correct. There is a genius behind what you do because of the purity and integrity that you hold combine with your clarity of thought. You have come a long way and your time is not up yet. You are just getting started and I for one am grateful that you are here.

re: #110 zombie

I have to run soon, and only have time to scan a few of the comments, but it seems like people are wondering if Fox News gets leads from LGF.

It's not "if." It's definite.

Twice, when Fox used my photos on air, I negotiated licensing fees with them, and had friendly communications with people there, and they freely admit they they scan the top blogs, LGF named in particular, for news stories. It's not even an open secret -- it's just a plain fact. There's nothing "unethical" about it -- reporters get ideas wherever they can.

Look at it thbis way: Better to have the ability to alter the public discourse than to be ignored.

Sure, it stings that they're raking in the bucks by copying Charles, but being a martyr has its own sweet satisfaction in a perverse way.

A great number of Lizards watch FOX myself included. FOX has many advertisers who pay top dollar for spots. It would behoove FOX to pay attention this detail as LGFers are a much powerful group, probably stronger than the Teamsters or the UAW. In other words, FOX should either:
a. compensate Charles (zombie included) or
b. Offer Charles a segment on Hannity and Colmes.

Otherwise, if FOX should continue to pursue its process of retrieving news by way of LGF, "Fair and Balanced" news can had elsewhere.

Rubert Murdoch is looking for more sites to aquire. Don't worry Charles, your hard work will pay off.

Charles,
I was thinking just the other day how much work this blog has got to be--it is relevant, up to the minute, libertarian, forthright and forceful in allowing freedom of thought and honest emotion, but without descending into the gutter.

It is far and away the highlight of my morning, after coffee of course, to check out the headlines here. Sadly, I must quote gospel at you, though: "A prophet is not without honor, save in his own land." And, reluctant though you may be, by doing LGF you are doing your bit in the Long War.

How can we who are grateful for LGF ensure that you are valued, your work respected?

Your work here is not only informative, entertaining, and a perfect antidote to the fever swamps of propaganda that surrounds all of us; it is also necessary.

LGF as a leader among new media sources, with that handful of other quality sites and the cadres of valuable allies in the internet opinion and information journals. Your work is as vital to the health of our nation in its sphere, as Fox News, C-Span and the occasional flukes of honest reportage that transpire "out there."

Do you know that you are a warrior? Are you battle fatigued?

We need LGF.

You seem like an enterprising sort--O'Reilly sells mugs and hats so, how about an online store; and, how about a "premium subscriber" option of some sort? Do you think that some of the thousands who read LGF might own businesses, and pay for advertising?

So long as LGF remains vital and available to all, an "insider" adjunct might be worth considering, so, why not look into the legalities. O'Reilly recycles some portion of his profit making ventures into charitable causes--that means there's enough and more than enough revenue generated by "O'Reilly Inc." to spare.

Perhaps not only could you be remunerated, but with a consortium of "top 10" conservative blogs, you could actually start a Foundation for Western Culture, and select strategic projects, studies, legal measures.

Congratulations! Your work is valuable, but still...nice to get paid. I hope we can get Charles an arrangement.

3 Baghdad airport employees detained as terrorsim suspects
By ASSOCIATED PRESS
BAGHDAD
American forces arrested three "extremists" in high-level jobs and plotting kidnapping operations at Baghdad International Airport, the military said in a statement Thursday.

It said those arrested were plotting to kidnap Iraqi forces and civilians working with US troops.

"The corrupt workers are suspected of having positioned themselves in several high-level jobs at the airport to establish a base and conduct kidnapping operations against Iraqi Security Forces and innocent civilians who stand up against the group's criminal activities," said the statement. "The men are further suspected of participating in attacks on Iraqi and Coalition Forces with improvised explosive devices and mortars."

The statement did not specify of which group the detained men were members.

Michelle has quoted LGF several times on FOX though she does keep it down to a cool level. Keep in mind she has her own interests to promote with her site at HotAir.com so she will only go so far.

Rush has said it well that the bloggers talk to each other. It's true. We have our one or three sites we spend the most time at, commenting and all, then a number of others we visit. We'll post links in the comments from the other sites, or give them to the blog's owners. In some cases, the owners communicate directly. You wind up with a hive mind. Information posted here will wind up on Joe Six-Pack's blog, and it will wind up on Investor's Business Daily.

Not everyone can do what Charles does and takes many tireless hours of effort, multitasking, programing. testing, all while giving us the best content. This is not easy.

If Charles was serious about getting paid he would have already hired lawyers. He knows the nature of the blog business, he was there from the start. All he's asking is a little acknowledgment and respect, Just a little. It's not much to ask for.

Give me a break, man. Seriously. Just read the past year's worth of LGF. Or the past month. Or the past 24 hours.

I'm not saying Charles doesn't do a good, smart thing: He does good work, and because of that he draws a good audience. Hence the attentions of Volvo and T-Mobile.

There's a lot -- a lot -- more to be said about the mainstream media/blog axis, but I'll sit tight. I like LGF -- otherwise I wouldn't swing by daily -- but I also like the reporters and editors who provide so much of the material.

Reminds me, though, sort of like India after the tsunami --won't readily accept help from anyone...

Rush gets a ton from WSJ, Lucianne.com, Powerline, and a few others, not sure if he goes direct to LGF.

Let's see, does Fox want to buy ad space on LGF? Um, probably not. Do they want to sponsor Charles online or on-air? Er, no, their speed is more like the Half-Hour News Hour, which is pretty much the Half-Wit News Hour, the money they don't spend on writers for that thing would buy a Bentley a week.

I'd say Rush has the $$$ model for things with his dittocam, memberships, and newsletters, not to mention golf shirts etc. But that is show biz, really, as Rush really knows. I'd give Charles a MacArthur Foundation grant, ... but that doesn't solve the Fox issue now, does it?

It's tough. They'd probably be glad to spend big bucks on LGF, except they don't want to be seen with it! Kind of a bizarro version of the old Groucho thing, where he wouldn't want to join any club that would have the likes of him for a member.

Is this a bad thing? At the end of the day, important stories get traction, and that is what LGF'rs have always wanted. Everyone here knows that the Great Lizard is brilliant, that his site sets the standard for critical thinking and anti-idiotarianism. That is why we keep coming back.

This isn't about credit or profit, it's about making the world a better place. If Fox would need to consistently credit LGF for stories, opponents would accuse Fox of getting "trash from the blogosphere".

Similarly, LGF and AllahPundit make extensive use of of Fox videos, directly posted in the page. Fox spends good money to make these (correspondents, video editors, cameramen, plane flights, etc).

I can understand how it can be irritating to see stories consistently pop-up on Fox that were broken here, but on the whole it seems to me a symbiotic relationship and not a parasitic one.

Not so much, I'd say. You tend to see the words "Associated Press" or "mainstream media" only when they're coming in for criticism. Otherwise there might be a link, but there's little incentive to follow it, as the critical portion is frequently excerpted.

That's not necessarily wrong, but I think it does sometimes at least tiptoe to the edge of Fair Use.

Like I said, there's a lot more to say because it's a complex subject. The upshot is that I like LGF, but I don't mind pointing out that the blog has drawn from the media well with gusto.

If Fox just gave a hat tip to Charles for his work, and not a penny cash, it would probably triple traffic - and Charles' advertising revenues.

Of course it would also melt down the current infrastructure, but an army of hamster clones is on the march at this very moment, as I understand it.

Well OK, you have a technical point there, I note that Lucianne.com is MUCH more careful to feature their attribution and limit the copied text, but I think she's way to the safe, or simply old-school, style of things. If there's not direct viewer payment, and the source is already online, and you provide a link, and you do not try to pass the content off as your own, I think that pretty much describes current standards, whether engraved in laws at this point or just very widespread precedent.

Jumping in here. The AP or Reuters reporter must appreciate the traffic driven to his/her piece that the blogs generate. Charles, in that way, is doing them a favor.

With acknowledgement, dude.

Not so much, I'd say. You tend to see the words "Associated Press" or "mainstream media" only when they're coming in for criticism. Otherwise there might be a link, but there's little incentive to follow it, as the critical portion is frequently excerpted.That's not necessarily wrong, but I think it does sometimes at least tiptoe to the edge of Fair Use.

Well OK, you have a technical point there, I note that Lucianne.com is MUCH more careful to feature their attribution and limit the copied text, but I think she's way to the safe, or simply old-school, style of things. If there's not direct viewer payment, and the source is already online, and you provide a link, and you do not try to pass the content off as your own, I think that pretty much describes current standards, whether engraved in laws at this point or just very widespread precedent.

What you're describing isn't "what's fair" so much as "what we can get away with." And those are the rules everyone is playing by these days, including the billion-dollar cable outfits.

You do well, for that matter.

That is on the reader, not Charles. Quit being disingenuous.

Thanks for welcoming me in the "Mighty Lizaroid Army." I know Charles is our "Great Leader" and we will Prevail. No SURRENDER here!

Young blood is always needed to keep the old farts pumped up, in any endeavour. Looks like you have young blood, and we certainly have a bunch of gassy farts!

re: #223 Cognito

Jumping in here. The AP or Reuters reporter must appreciate the traffic driven to his/her piece that the blogs generate. Charles, in that way, is doing them a favor. That concept should work downstream as well. Fox or Glenn Beck or Rush could, with a quick hat tip, drive some traffic this way. The ad revenue would be the later reward, I guess.

A great many of those reporters and publishers would disagree. There's a tremendous amount of money and energy going into the study of whether giving away content -- which is what those people are doing when they upload their work -- benefits the source.

For instance, Google has mastered legal theft, in many ways, and I suspect the roof will fall in on them before long.

This also proves that Commercial Journalism is lazy and non existent. Real Journalism is alive in blogs. The MSM is just leaching as they always do.

re: #179 Cognito

Charles,

Honestly -- what's up? You use other people's work every day.

Every day.

Come on, man.

How dare he! What hypocrisy!

Some would say it's quite the other way around, in some instances more than others.

There "might" be a link. Too funny.

Now I know why you're in love with the MSM. You have the same ideals of truthiness.

And interestingly enough Charles exonerating us to "read the whole thing" appears 2,748 times on the front page.

re: #179 Cognito

Charles,

Every day.

Come on, man.

And I give them credit, as you well know.

Well, um... thank you for all you've done for me.

Bah. Don't know that I've done much of anything, except stay away from jumping into the fray. I've debated a point or two, but I try to stay out of scuffles. I'm a luva, not a fighta! hahahha

I've heard LGF headlines on Michale Savage too, and I live where it is recorded so when he mouths off with his, you only hear this here,, I am screaming into my car radiom(on the way home from work) no wayI read that on LGF before work! but I can't call him to call him on it!

thank you for everything you do.

re: #1 WrathofG-d

Did I miss something?

Take it from me: Fox News (and several other MSM networks and programs) get a substantial portion of their "tips" straight from LGF.

Believe me, I know this for a fact. Was told it directly by not just one but two different Fox producers. Also, the same holds true for the Michael Savage show -- I have it from the horse's mouth. And the list goes on...

I think Charles is finally "putting them on notice." One can weary of being a content provider for no pay whatsoever. I had the same reaction, and finally starting charging corporate news organizations if they want to use my material. Pro-active and retroactive if I find out about it.

re: #241 Cognito

That's life.

But if it's grossly unfair, you try for a resolution. Maybe Charles' current situation with Fox is right on that borderline. Maybe if they just slip him into Kevin Southerland's slot in 24 while he's in stir, or write him into the plot and let him play LizardBoy, mysterious blogger with untraceable connections to his zombie (sic) army, it would square accounts.

Everyone uses other people's work. Welcome to the real world. The difference is that the big media use it without credit.

You all oughta know by now that now matter how well you pin Cognito down, he'll never admit that he's wrong.

I think there's a word for that...

Wow! usatoday gets the Mega-head memo:

By Meg Kinnard, Associated Press
COLUMBIA, S.C. — A college student facing a terrorism-related charge made a video showing how to detonate explosives using a remote-controlled toy, and the demonstration was uploaded to a popular website before he was arrested, according to court documents.
Ahmed Abdellatif Sherif Mohamed, who was indicted last month on federal charges, told authorities he made the video "to assist those persons in Arabic countries to defend themselves against the infidels invading their countries," according to an FBI agent's sworn statement filed Tuesday

lgf knows the rest and more!

re: #108 WhiteRasta

Does it count that the message gets out all the more...?

Yes, to a certain extent.

LGF is a commercial business and our Lizard Leader is entitled to make a profit for his diligence and hard work.

How else would he pay his followers their Zionist cheques, every month?

yea,,heheheheh

re: #249 Geepers

Oh! Burn...

Absolutely. We have the laziest media in the world. They look on your site and they pick their stories. Each one that uses your stories should be giving you a salary's worth of donations for the person they don't have to employ at their station. And that includes the conservative radio talk show hosts Prager, Savage,

OT but OUTRAGEOUS - sorry if this has been posted before but:

Blackwater under spotlight over Fallujah incident
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. security contractor Blackwater, under investigation in the shooting deaths of 11 Iraqis this month, came under criticism again on Thursday over an ambush in 2004 in which four of its staff were killed.

A report by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform detailed a chaotic run-up to the March 31, 2004 incident in Fallujah when four Blackwater employees escorting a convoy were killed and their charred bodies hung from a bridge.

Gruesome photos of their mutilated bodies were published in major newspapers and the incident turned American public opinion sharply against the war. A few days later, the U.S. military launched a major offensive in Fallujah.

The report by Democrat Rep. Henry Waxman's committee criticized Blackwater for ignoring "multiple warnings" of the dangers of going into Fallujah and of sending staff into the "hottest zone in Iraq in unarmored, underpowered vehicles."

Blackwater rejected the conclusions of the report, calling it a "one-sided version of this tragic incident."

"What the report fails to acknowledge is that the terrorists determined what happened that fateful day in 2004," the company said in a statement.

"The terrorists were intent on killing Americans and desecrating their bodies. Documents that the committee has in its possession point out that the Blackwater team was betrayed and directed into a well-planned ambush," it added.
[Link: today.reuters.com...]
Just fucking great - these "mercenaries" as Kos called them are now being held responsible, somehow, for Blackwater's sending them out on convoy security and for their deaths and the hanging of their bodies on a bridge just outside Fallujah.
Just when I thought Congress could go no lower, they bring in a backhoe.

That's a peeve of mine...you hear some of the radio guys saying 'I'm the only place you're going to hear this' or some variation thereof. Bill O is the worst on that one. I shout back at my radio, wondering why, if that's the case, I heard about it earlier in the day on Glenn, Rush, Sean and Medved? Not to mention LGF, HA, and all the other blogs?
