Next point...eye witnesses are notoriously unreliable. Adrenaline surge, unfamiliar situations, unclear what is actually going on, a hard landing with a bunch of radio chatter about one of the birds being hit, all the soldiers around you yelling and tense and so on.
That's a good point. I've read first hand accounts of rookie pilots in WWI. They would be involved in a dogfight and not even know it until they returned to base and found out from the rest of the flight. They'd think their buddies were just goofing around out of boredom.
And of course, a lot of them died without even knowing it.

Meanwhile, Kansas Gov. Sam Brownshirt tires to roll back the clock.
http://www.latimes.com/nation/la-na-kansas-governor-gay-protection-20150210-story.html
In a move that shocked progressive advocates in Kansas, the state's Republican governor on Tuesday issued an executive order to remove discrimination protections for gay, lesbian and transgender state employees.
State employees in Kansas can now legally be fired, harassed or denied a job for being gay or transgender, critics said.

Wonder what the Log Cabin Republicans think of this?
On an associated note, inasmuch as an employer does not actually presumably know about an employees sexual habits from direct evidence, is it ok to fire someone because you think they MIGHT be gay?
Wrong hairstyle?
Wrong gait?
Wrong clothes?
Or, you want to fire them because of their religion, but actually do so citing that they are gay?

Give the President credit for doing something right. His request to Congress concerning ISIS is, in my opinion, precisely the correct way to go about dealing with this mess.

From the Fux News page.
'He hates us': Muslim father of NC victims says daughter had run-ins with alleged killer
I wonder what the non-Muslin father had to say.
Or how about the" M.D. father".
Why is Craig Stephen Hicks, 46, and not Craig Stephen Hicks, the atheist?

Kudos to the President on his decision regarding ISIS.
The IRS is obviously throwing smokescreens over their abuses. Too many loopholes combined with partisan enforcement.
They need to be abolished. Postcard tax preparations please.

I don't know about postcard tax preparation. You know the old joke describing the ultimate IRS return:
"1. How much did you make?:___
2. Send it all in."

Well, over 30K emails of Lois Lerner have been retrieved by a company. ODD that IRS could not do this very thing, but instead said they were "lost forever". Lois Lerner should go to the pen. Along with several others at the IRS.
This fake scandal was canceled for lack of interest.

When you say capitalists, you really mean the Republican party, since they are owned by the Capitalists and doing the work of rigging the system for them, correct?

You want to worry about lost or destroyed e-mails....
I guess you forgot about W. Bush's Presidential e-mails and the whole RNC e-mails being handled by Karl Rove, and when they subpoenaed him, he said they were destroyed (lost) and he refused to come before the Congressional Committee.
And what about all the Gitmo videos and transcripts being destroyed by the Bush team??
Basically they destroyed millions of documents that would have implicated any wrong doing, which is against every law on the books for the President....
Lois Lerner is Micro potatoes compared to the Bush cover-ups and crimes,
and along all the rest of the Republican hypocrisy
Lois Lerner hasn't been convicted of any crime, she didn't even do anything wrong, it's all right wing fear mongering and displaced blame.
She was a F*#king Republican trying to protect her tips against Chuck Grassley, a f*#king corrupt Republican, everything you guys have said about this case has wrong. look it up.
Can you comprehend the concept of perspective.
