Jim,
You didn't read those well, my friend. They interpreted things differently, but they admitted that the comments about bias were made (but said they were individual opinions not pervasive bias). I understand that you like the BBC, but I find it rather odd that you refuse to accept something they themselves admitted.

I'm not making this up...
Concerning the "LIES" (Sidebar: by the way, using all capitals doesn't quite seem to be befitting of a conversation between friends... this is something you've done repeatedly, and it reads as being very condescending which isn't how I perceive you most of the time): please stop it. Michael Moore made the same claim about CNN (plus CNN has their own dedicated "lie blogger"), MSNBC has been caught in several lies, ands so have the other national media outlets... Do I really have to link to them all. It's really easy to find examples. They've been documented extensively.
Yes, I've read all the links I offered you, and I find your supercilious tone very disrespectful of someone who is at least offering you the courtesy of refraining from being personal while offering support of ideas and comments instead of insulting comments, insinuations, and accusations.
We have no way of knowing what all has happened as a result of the War Diaries, and I knew the release date. However, I was pointing out the administration expressed real concern that the release of classified documents would risk lives. That was only months ago. The full fall-out of that (and all other leaks) will not be fully known for a long time, and I know that you realize that.
Considering I have a brother fighting in Afghanistan, I really wish there wasn't such a cavalier attitude toward the potential loss of life... Oh yeah, he's on the intelligence side of things...
