Attaturk: you know I was just yankin’ your chain, right? ;-) You do good work.

But the point of the post is to decry the SPREADING OF RACIAL STEREOTYPES…

Can we please refrain…as some earlier comments were not…from engaging in those same stereotypes?

Thanks.

You know, not linking to any particular comments, but there’s so much that’s spectacularly offensive about Michelle Malkin that I’m really not sure why anyone would want to jump to her heritage to insult her.

well said! deserves to be repeated. and applied to our evaluation of good (and bad) reports on the dems too – our goal is to recognize our biases and try to get past them to think clearly about the evidence.

I think that most of us at FDL keep an open mind about what this administration is capable of doing yet at the same time we also try to prevent our low opinion of them from causing us to blindly believe everything printed about them.

FALLUJAH, Jun 12 (IPS) – Babies born in Fallujah are showing illnesses and deformities on a scale never seen before, doctors and residents say.

The new cases, and the number of deaths among children, have risen after “special weaponry” was used in the two massive bombing campaigns in Fallujah in 2004.

After denying it at first, the Pentagon admitted in November 2005 that white phosphorous, a restricted incendiary weapon, was used a year earlier in Fallujah.

In addition, depleted uranium (DU) munitions, which contain low-level radioactive waste, were used heavily in Fallujah. The Pentagon admits to having used 1,200 tonnes of DU in Iraq thus far.
