Ben Domenech Resigns
Washington Post ^ | March 24, 2006 | Jim Brady

Posted on 03/24/2006 1:47:49 PM EST by RWR8189

In the past 24 hours, we learned of allegations that Ben Domenech plagiarized material that appeared under his byline in various publications prior to washingtonpost.com contracting with him to write a blog that launched Tuesday.

An investigation into these allegations was ongoing, and in the interim, Domenech has resigned, effective immediately.

When we hired Domenech, we were not aware of any allegations that he had plagiarized any of his past writings. In any cases where allegations such as these are made, we will continue to investigate those charges thoroughly in order to maintain our journalistic integrity.

Plagiarism is perhaps the most serious offense that a writer can commit or be accused of. Washingtonpost.com will do everything in its power to verify that its news and opinion content is sourced completely and accurately at all times.

What can Karzai do anyway? He controls some 673 acres in Kabul! Outside of that, the warlords and the Taliban rule the country.

That is Dumbya's "new, improved" Afghanistan for you - a totally chaotic nation, even by Afghanistan's own standards, and a puppet Karzai who will be hanged from the nearest pole if the US troops don't guard him for even a day.
