Suma, are you saying that you presented the story as a hypothetical but that you actually lost a son in Iraq? Ed

Suma, "I did not realize that a dissenting view was prohibitive on the High Tolerance Plasticity thread" All views except for crackpot views (see Ray Duray) are permitted; look at all of Ed's views. But you have to be prepared for people to take issue with your views on just about anything, and especially if your view is that 60 Minutes is any sort of substantial source of information. Forgettabout Mike Wallace destroying the Audi (for no reason, as it turned out), I will never forget when, Mike, with cameraman in tow, stuck out his microphone to some unsuspecting hick and said, "Come on, Mr. X, just between you and me, did you ever . . .?" while the crew was filming. Just between you and me, buddy (and 50 million viewers when we put this baby on)!!! 60 Minutes used to be interesting "news entertainment" a "news mag"; now it's just a tired old formula. Kb
