WTF?
I have no idea what happened or why this groom was
shot at his bachelor party by the police. The only people interviewed in this article are friends of the groom and Al Sharpton. There's no official word out yet, it seems. But what in the hell is up with the last two paragraphs of the article? Let's throw in two other completely unrelated incidents where police shot black people. What does that have to do with anything? And why does the AP do this all the time, tack on unrelated crap at the end of articles? Those two paragraphs have no business being in that article, other than to lead readers to assume that cops repeatedly shoot black people for no reason whatsoever. Shame on you, AP.
MORE:
Since MSNBC changed their link, I had to find the original article elsewhere. I found it here, but I'll copy the end of the article before it disappears again.
"I still don't want to believe it," Porter said, "a beautiful day like this, and he was going to have a beautiful wedding, he was going to live forever with his wife and children. And this happened."
In 1999, police killed Amadou Diallo, an unarmed West African immigrant who was shot 19 times in the Bronx. The four officers in that case were acquitted of criminal charges.
And in 2003, Ousmane Zongo, 43, a native of the western African country of Burkina Faso who repaired art and musical instruments in a Manhattan warehouse, was shot to death during a police raid. Zongo was hit four times, twice in the back.
See what I mean? Talk about inflammatory. And completely unrelated.

Seems like they have already changed the article since you wrote this post.

Woah, isn't that creepy how they just change the link and the previous article disappears? I'll see if I can find it.

Greyhawk has a lengthy and thorough analysis of the damage the Abu Ghraib scandal did to the war effort. It's posted in two parts:
A Combination of Blurring and Smearing Part 1 and Part 2 (the internal links are busted, but you can figure it out).

I did miss it - I'll try and catch it on Sunday. I do like Glenn on television - I'm not so wild about his radio show - maybe I've just caught it at bad times. But he does tend to stick to his point much better on TV.

Yeah, Glenn can get a bit squirrelly at times, but overall I like him.

Thanks. I'll be sure to check this out. I've been wondering about Glenn Beck ever since Jon Stewart showed that clip of him calling a muslim congressman "the enemy."

Yeah, Will, I already know about that. From when Glenn Beck himself played the clip and congratulated Stewart on his zingers.

NOW THAT'S JOURNALISM
Via
RWN: Steve Harrigan from Fox News gets
waterboarded. Wow, that's really amazing journalism. Harrigan wanted to see the fact behind this interrogation technique, so he put himself on the line to find out. That's awesome.

I, too, think it's awesome that a Fox News journalist got tortured.
