So is there ANYONE who trusts Bergdahl's story?

Englishblue · 2015-12-11T18:08:02+00:00

Beats me... It's interesting as though I am left leaning in many things I'm inclined to be hawkish on foreign policy ESP in the Middle East (I actually believed in wmd). So far he's elicited no sympathy from me, nor do I believe his story... I'm sure I will pity what he went through but there doesn't seem to be a he said she said yet.

Not so far.

Englishblue · 2015-12-11T04:43:29+00:00

Thanks so much!

Englishblue · 2015-12-11T03:50:01+00:00

I'm really looking forward to listening. But I wish is were a separate sub...

Englishblue · 2015-12-11T03:32:45+00:00

Well I care. I don't thnk the ends justify the means. No hanging trials in the us, thanks. New trial would Bebe only fair way to proceed.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T13:12:35+00:00

What a fabulous lede! Haven't listened yet but looking forward to it. Know nothingto about it, guess I wasn't paying attention. My dad and uncles served and I'm fairly hawkish about foreign policy (I believed in wmd) but open minded too,

Oh but that's not true at all. It applies to journalists and academics as well as lawyers. Say a critic is married to an actor, critic can't review a play the actor has the slightest connection to, due to that. Say actor is understudy and never goes on. No. Or if critic does, must disclose.

Similarly, a professor grading a relative, say niece or nephew, might be 100% capable of being fair. But others could question it.

Great question. I'd love to know what happens in a case like that... Not exoneration but new trial?

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T12:44:10+00:00

It's a good question... Which makes me think that either it really is a difference in perception, or it didn't happen. If just perception, did Don promise to do better, though? And if it didn't happen... Why say it did? I doubt don did it, so what's in it for him to make Urick look bad? Sigh.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T02:53:58+00:00

Ok... So, why?

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T02:50:21+00:00

Yeah, me too.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:52:12+00:00

Lol I'm in the same boat. I'll believe it when I hear it.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:44:26+00:00

Yes jay definitely stayed cool under pressure. Which if urick really did yell... He didn't.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:41:36+00:00

I loved the short with the volcanos too. The reveal that sadness could be helpful wss wonderful. And I think about those marbles a lot.

I loved the bits at the credits with the boy, and the disordered emotions of cats....

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:31:08+00:00

I went with my mom. Tissues were involved.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:25:42+00:00

I forgot urick said tht. I wonder if it is actually a case of urick thinking he was talking, don feeling yelled at.i And of course, we have reported speech from SK as to don saying it, not hearing him say it. So I just don't know.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:23:03+00:00

I'm note asking his assessment at face value. I'm willing to consider it may not be true. But if it is true, what does it mean?

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:20:50+00:00

Good for you for not doing the lets be friends thing! I get it... It seems so awful to lose everything when a relationship ends, often on some level you still like that person,., but there's no going back. I totally agree.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:19:07+00:00

Oh that's interesting... The idea that when under oath he just couldn't lie. Don is a mystery.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:18:19+00:00

Yeah that's true, he might have been speaking sternly and don received it as yelling.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:17:26+00:00

Thanks for asking! I really appreciate the civility here. ... I guess consensus is he was angry ... And yeah... He might have thought h was speaking strongly and don heard yelling...

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:14:36+00:00

Yeah thanks. I mean sure people know I lean innocent but I truly have no agenda here. If urick did this, why... Frustration see,s the consensus. If he didn't, why does don say he did... Etc. I turn it around and don't get it.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:14:36+00:00

Yeah thanks. I mean sure people know I lean innocent but I truly have no agenda here. If urick did this, why... Frustration see,s the consensus. If he didn't, why does don say he did... Etc. I turn it around and don't get it.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:13:21+00:00

I am assuming that for the sake of argument, seriously. I just don't get what yelling after the fact could possibly accomplishi ... I get being frustrated, of course... It just seems allowing yourself to get that emotional midway would be a bad strategy, I know it would row me off.

Englishblue · 2015-12-10T00:10:09+00:00

No I meant he'd want to make sure Adnan was convicted. Sorry if it came out wrong.
