...there was anything of importance on the hood," despite a "pancake-size" patch of blood that stained it. The investigators wrote that the officer said that "normally at the end of a mission he would throw used hood[s] out ... he thinks he just threw the hood in the trash" and that he might have said, "We don't want people picking it up and making jokes about it." The unit chief said in a military legal proceeding that he had undergone training in forensic science...
...troops would mean bringing them home (or not sending them in the first place), but it just never sounds right—particularly when military families are more likely than the general public to support both the war and the President. At least in theory, veterans get to talk trash about the Commander in Chief without being accused of attacking the troops (although I know some swift boat veterans who might disagree on this one).

Ave.Campaign Manager Stephanie Sanchez leads SEIU volunteers down the block. “We’re trying not to swamp...
...outdated labels. And it's time for minorities to reject the cult of victimization too. Things aren't perfect. There are a lot of problems. Those problems exploded last week, unleashing the long-held resentment of people who feel unwanted, scorned and swept into the margins like so much trash. To change that, the gap between the banlieue and the rest of France must be bridged. We need to make peace with the things that make us different.
