#4 I heard he also served in Vietnam with Kerry fight the Huns. I bet that the Vet group didn't look very far. I have yet to read a single story of these groups policing themselves. As long as they sing the song they are welcome to the choir. Maybe they should question their group since its since its a draw for the mentally challenged.

#6 Abu, ya bang him on the back of the head with the shovel and leave him for the buzzards.

#7 Allegedly is in constant use in journalism-land these days, Deacon Blues. It sounds ever so legal and even-handed, you see, although it's generally incorrect when used.

#9 The way I see it, "Alledgedly" is a cover-your-ass phrase designed to prevent lawsuits if things are NOT the way the reporter stated.

#10 I am having a big o taste of crow:
"CVA members contacted the FBI field office in Denver, which opened an investigation in early May and arrested him Tuesday night in downtown Denver on a traffic warrant originating in El Paso County." I retract my earlier statement and salute the CVA for doing the right thing.

#11 Not going to bury him. The shovel was merely a "communication" instrument.

Actually, the term allegedly they teach you in j-school it is a simpler means of using attribution, but it is also a legal phrase which provides ( although not much ) cover for the publisher in case officials accuse the wrong person.

Its the same as saying " accused of".

#13 well "some say" it's a weakass effort to cover your ass when you don't have facts to substantiate your agenda, but "many" disagree
