I'm not ready to "stipulate" it either. But I assume we agree that if what Marc Whitaker says -- that the DOD didn't challenge that, but one of them challenged another point -- is true, the story isn't about a "knowing" "lie," as Oral Roberts asserted it was, and includes DOD incompetence -- or their belief that the story was true.

Claims that things are true that aren't, and intelligence-management, can, it is true, lead to many deaths, sometimes hundreds of thousands of them. Torture kills people, too, and doesn't do a whole lot to win friends and influence people or to assure better treatment of any of our troops taken prisoner.

Yes, stupidity kills.
