You mentioned several times it was the <i>Boston Globe</i>. Sorry. 64171@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 May 2004 00:51:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/085358.php#comment-64169 It's the Boston Globe, the real newspaper in Boston. The Herald is to the Boston Globe [we locals just call it the Globe] what the NY Post is to the NY Times. 64169@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 May 2004 00:30:43 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/085358.php#comment-64168 Since when was <i>Globe</i> considered a legitimate newspaper anyway? Aren't they a tabloid? Being a tabloid, what did you expect? 64168@blogcritics.org Sat, 15 May 2004 00:27:16 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/05/14/085358.php#comment-64059 Thats really hilarious. Yesterday morning I heard about these photos on the radio, yet when I looked online for the story, nothing came up. This explains it! I think that this story, and the fact that some of the british photos were also complete fakes shows that as a people we have to resist the urge to get heated by initial news reports. One need only look at the response to the accusations of abuse of Iraqi prisoners by U.S. soldiers. We have no idea of the scope of these abuses, how many soldiers were involved, the extent of the crime, how many prisoners abused. Given that, does this really justify the type of response it's been given? I'm not saying abuse is right, but with the partisan bickering going on, and since this is an election year, the first sniff of problems and calls immediately go out for everyones resignation. It's crazy. 64059@blogcritics.org Fri, 14 May 2004 13:58:44 EDT
