@David Loeher. My wife remembered you from when she was the UU minister at Epiphany Church in Fenton. Nice post. “No matter how many times this happens — … Pat Tillman’s death at the hands of Evil Al Qaeda fighters — it never changes: the narrative is set forever by first-day government falsehoods uncritically amplified by [...]

guymontag commented on the diary post Three Cups of a Flawed Hero: The Limits of Greg Mortenson’s Model of Change by Paul Rogat Loeb.
In his April 27, 2011 piece, “Greg Mortenson Controversy comes to Telluride, but Not the Man Himself,” Allen Best wrote, “Leveling the accusations is another mountain climber, Jon Krakauer, with serious credibility of his own” Last week, Jon Krakauer published his e-book, Three Cups of Deceit, that accused Greg Mortenson (author of Three Cups of [...]

He gets up there at his swearing-in and basically says what has [...]

In her foreword to her paperback edition of “Boots on the Ground by Dusk” (at blurb.com) Mary Tillman wrote: “McChrystal’s actions should have been grounds for firing. That is why it was so disturbing to us when President Obama instead promoted McChrystal to the position of top commander in Afghanistan last year. I had sent [...]

guymontag commented on the diary post Obama Appoints War Criminal McChrystal to Support Military Families, Sell Iraq War Extension by Jim White.
I’m sure the Tillman family isn’t too happy with yet another slap in their face by President Obama (see Mary Tillman’s foreword at blurb.com for her book “Boots on the Ground by Dusk). I would highly recommend viewing the documentary DVD “The Tillman Story.” Ironically, it’s quite possible that Pat Tillman’s widow,Marie Tillman, may be [...]
