Sound Politics: Mistakes were made

March 27, 2007

Mistakes were made

The Associated Press reports what should have been obvious to any fair minded person long ago: ""Human factors" caused sinking of B.C. ferry that killed 2"

In a long-awaited report probing last year's fatal ferry crash, B.C. Ferries officials said Monday that "human factors were the primary cause of the sinking of the Queen of the North," The Canadian Press reported.
...
The report concludes in part that the ferry's fourth officer "failed to make a necessary course alteration or verify such alteration was made." Investigators also said the navigational watch didn't maintain a "proper lookout."

Mistakes happen on every ferry crossing. There was zero evidence that a crime occurred. Why did authorities even bother to investigate?

1. Of course, following your normal logic, here you have at least a hundred times more evidence that there was in fact a conspiracy to cause the deaths of the two people. Bravo.

But let's ask someone that actually knows something about law enforcement:

Sen. Charles Schumer (news, bio, voting record), a New York Democrat, noted that among the shifting reasons given for firing prosecutors was failure to energetically pursue voter-fraud investigations.

Schumer asked [FBI Director] Mueller if he was aware of any FBI voter-fraud probe that should have resulted in an indictment but did not.

"Not to my knowledge," the FBI director replied.

Strange how that hasn't ranked an entry on this blog. I guess the truth is not useful as propaganda.

Wow, who knew that

2. Truth, JDB? You mean like the indisputable FACT that a coule hundred Fatal Pends ballots were knowingly and illegally counted (and at the very time KCE was desperately trying to find enough votes to put Ms. Gregoire over the top--such timing, eh??)in '04? Like that??

3. Hey JDB, you mean a government employee asked another government employee if another government employee found fault with how other government employees ran an affair that only government can run? And everybody said it everything is just fine?

How stupid are you?
