http://www.scripting.com/ It's even worse than it appears. en-us Copyright 1997-2004 Dave Winer Sun, 11 Apr 2004 04:00:00 GMT Mon, 12 Apr 2004 00:05:40 GMT http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/tech/rss UserLand Frontier v9.0 dwiner@cyber.law.harvard.edu dwiner@cyber.law.harvard.edu It's getting close to a month since Rogers <a href="http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/2004/03/24.html">raised</a> an important issue of ethics at The Guardian. So far, to my knowledge, we've only gotten an argumentative <a href="http://www.cadenhead.org/workbench/2004/04/01.html#a1744">response</a>, that almost promises that they'll investigate, but not quite. It appears as if they passed off an opinion piece as news. A retraction and apology to their readers is called for, or some kind of detailed explanation why the author was qualified to write an independent piece for their publication, when he was one of the participants in the supposed "war" he was covering.

He's been following some discussions of BloggerCon that I hadn't seen where people said it's pretentious. I was surprised. Something about Harvard is pretentious? I said that's not <i>exactly</i> front-page news. <img src="http://static.userland.com/shortcuts/images/qbullets/sidesmiley.gif"> Sun, 11 Apr 2004 17:57:59 GMT http://archive.scripting.com/2004/04/11#When:1:57:59PM <a href="http://www.loc.gov/exhibits/oliphant/vc007260.jpg"><img src="http://www.scripting.com/images/archiveScriptingCom/2004/04/11/nixon.gif" width="85" height="59" border="0" align="right" hspace="15" vspace="5" alt="A picture named nixon.gif"></a>My Dad is convinced that Bush <s>should</s> will go on TV and say "We won in Iraq," and it's time to go home. When you think about it, the whole thing is pretty spooky. We're fighting the people we liberated. I don't see any Iraqis standing beside us. Maybe they're there but we haven't heard about them. Anyway, it seems like now is a good time to take a bow, and get out while the gettin's good.
