Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
According to his version, a marine was killed during the capture, Saddam was not captured in an underground hole, and he fought back first (by firing on the marines).
On the one hand the spider hole story never smelled exactly right to me. On the other, neither does this. I'm pretty sure that severe spin of some sort was put on the Saddam capture. I'm wondering if this could be some sort of Rovian plant (a la rathergate) with iffy evidence for something that really happened. Then when the false evidence is discredited, the subject is taken off the table.
I got 100% on muscles, 60 something on bones, 57 on nervous system, and just blew my organ score on the freaking appendix. I know where it is, but the rotation? Still have no clue, and I got it right.
In LJ, I know you can set up different reading filters, and have done so. Is there any way to make one of them the default friends' view? Right now, every time I select the filter, read my fl, leave and come back, the fl seems to default to the whole fl. I would like to make the filter my default.
Call one of the freinds views "default."
DX, where? That's what I can't figure out.
It's snowing here again. Yee. Ha. Meh.
Oh yeah. It started around 12:15, just as we were leaving the house. tommyrot, we had your rain, ice, snow weather earlier in the week. I'm sick to death of it. I know I'm probably making the people in the snowbelt laugh, but I'm pretty sure this is our snowiest winter on record.
Cindy, it should be the very first item on the list here: [link]
It's called "Default View." Just add the people you want to be in your default to this list.
DX, I figured out the problem. I checked that little box on the page where it reads:
Friends Filter
Select Groups
Check the group(s) of friends you want to view on your friends list.
Default Reading Filter
But it wasn't sticking. I think the problem was, I didn't update my bookmark, so I was choosing the full friends view every time. Now I've got it. Thank you.
Ex-Marine Says Public Version of Saddam Capture Fiction
I tend to be a little skeptical by anything published in the Saudi press since all the papers are controlled by the government. Three years ago another Saudi daily, Al-Riyadh, published an actual blood libel. That's not to say the story isn't accurate or that Al-Medina (the paper that printed the story) isn't a legitimate paper. But I have to wonder why this particular marine hasn't been interviewed by any U.S. journalists.
Happy birthday, tommyrot!!

I think that's sound skepticism.
And yet, I also find myself skeptical of the "official" US version of any events in the war over there, particularly the media spectacles like Jessica Lynch or Saddam's capture.
