In a world of perceptions so carefully crafted by spin, challenging
some of these facts back seems almost like a duty.

Yes, but simply reprinting the counter-clockwise spin is a rather poor

Don, If you really think that is what Im doing, please just show us

Yes, that is exactly what youre doing. You failed to provide even
a paragraph of your own valuable insight. No need to be so lazy. We
all know you can do better than that.

Hard to see this as simply counter-spin. Indeed, its a bit light on

All media is biased in some way. And youre right, its a problem
that folks like yourself cant seem to see that.
Anyhow, the point that I seem unable to make is that simply reprinting
it adds nothing. It merely serves as propaganda. No doubt there is
a great deal of truth in the report. But the commission is made up
of people, and as such theyre all biased in some way. What truths
did they leave out? What facts did the reporters omit and why? If
youre not asking these questions then you dont posess the whole
truth either. Just the part you like. Obviously that suits you, so
Ill be off.
