Hooded Iraqi in photo: the NYT got it wrong
Earlier this week I blogged about the speculation that the Iraqi featured in this NYTimes story (using the CommonDreams reprint link because the direct link to the NYT story is no longer free to access) who identified himself as the man who was photographed hooded and standing atop the box during the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuses was not, in fact, the detainee in the photo.
AP dropping any pretense of objectivity
Did you happen to catch this AP headline and story earlier today?
College basketball tourney fever

Have a blog on Blogger/Blogspot?
After reading the experience Betsy Newmark went through after her blog went down for four days, and after reading that something similar happened to Jason at Generation Why? (who has his own domain now), I encourage anyone with a blog at Blogger/Blogspot to do a backup of their site and get a domain with hosting services. Pricing is very reasonable and affordable – my domain and hosting are courtesy of BlogsAbout.com. There are many hosting/domain packages out there at any number of sites to suit your needs – whether small or large.
