Editorial Soliloquy
In the past month I've made a couple of statements that, I still feel, were basically true but contemporaneous events cast them in a doubtful light.
In a 10/31/04 post I stated that exit polls were the most accurate polls. Boy, did that turn out wrong this time. The stipulation is that the methodology must be sound.
In a 11/15/04 post on Fallujah I stated that the Marines had employed some more "enlightened" approaches in dealing with the situation in Iraq. As enlightened as you can get in the midst of a brutal war, anyway. Well, that notion got shot in the head. Up to that point, the Marines had deployed some very practical, pragmatic means of dealing with civilians in Iraq.
I've sent a link for the Jarvis pulls an Okrent post to a number of bloggers (and Okrent) after Jarvis didn't reply (or act). As I stated, it should now be worthy of comment from the bloggers.
