I feel as if I am being pulled in 2 separate directions on this story. First, I am glad to see that another lawsuit is being brought against the Tobacco companies, which produce the only known legal product that will kill you if used as directed.
On the other hand, I believe that the smokers are responsible for their own behavior and shouldn't have their tests paid for when there are no damages.
Honestly when is this going to stop. I smoked for 15 years, and it was the hardest thing I have ever done to stop. But I did it without a handout. Nobody is forced to smoke, nobody should be forced to help those ill from smoking.
If you intentionally walked out in front of a Chevy and broke both legs, should Chevy be responsible for your medical bills? I think not.
There is no evidence that the military officials knew that the erroneous version they initially reported was done so knowingly, is there?
They may have had the motivation to do so, but unless there is an indication they knew the truth and reported otherwise, I'd have to give the military the benefit of the doubt.
The media which didn't report specifics of the other, more truthful version were not in a position to independently verify either version at the time of the incident. Perhaps, the media could be criticized for putting too much credence on the official version. Still, the command officials risk losing credibility of other matters on which they report, if they frequently report falsified accounts.
An assessment must have been made about the credibility of the other reportage. There is no indication in this article that the other sources had a strong track record of credible reporting.
you hit the nail on the head Kevin, Obama faces his toughest test so far. The percentages between republicans and democrats are in opposite directions on his whole handling of the situation. how will the public vote?
