Haditha Media Errors Exposed. It appears some cracks are showing in the "massacre" story. Could this be another Plamegate/TANG story? I think so. It's clear to me that those who created this story have an agenda and those swallowing the story without so much as a question are eager for their Pulitzer. They want to be the one that wrote the story that led to the greatest armed forces the world has ever known to withdraw. That they would be on the side of mass murderers and monsters is immaterial. All that matters is the story. Getting it first is far more important than getting it right. We can always run a correction later. (correction to appear on A47: The Times reported that US Marines massacred dozens of innocent civilians in Haditha. Reports later showed that no such activity occured. The Times regrets the error.)
My Entire Career in a nutshell
Obamacare's Big Thinkers Forgot to Bring in the Doers - Bloomberg: "The yawning gap between what the IT people knew and what everyone else seems to have realized is staggering. Now, I’ve worked on some projects in which the business units seemed to have some sort of selective deafness that only materialized when we tried to tell them that they couldn’t have their magic fairy computer system that did everything they could imagine, only better, in the three months they wanted it to take, or for the paltry sum that they were willing to spend. And I learned the hard way not to assume that the business units, or even the chief information officer, had heard and understood what you said. That is how I became gifted in the art of writing CYA memos when I was directed to do the unwise or the impossible. "
