I also linked to the Chicago Tribune, **Lib** , and someone else linked to MSNBC. If you can find anything in the Forward piece that’s factually inaccurate, please let us know what it is. ---

If you can find anything in the Forward piece that’s factually inaccurate, please let us know what it is. Don’t know about factually inaccurate. Or accurate for that matter. Neither does anyone else here. However, I could certainly rewrite it so that it’s still factually the same but with a much different slant. Maybe we should wait and see what the Airforce reports on the 23rd. ---

Yeah, we know the Air Force report will be beyond reproach. ---
