Susan Rice's letter felt a good one, and on reading it was thinking of the spin would even come out
of even it .. guess it's inevitable it comes on on about everything .. i thought it was a good letter ..

Jennifer Rubin's article in there felt cheap. This one

Jonathan Bernstein: Don’t jump to conclusions about Rice
http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/plum-line/wp/2012/12/13/dont-jump-to-conclusions-about-susan-rice/

was good and mirrored some of my thoughts on reading Rice's and Rubin's.

It's this 'we know' when we don't know position, of so many, who then just have to say what they 'know' (read don't know); just have to react for own self gratification .. as all those 'just had to say something without thought except 'me' people who attacked Ryan Lanza .. then found they had attacked the wrong guy .. again, as those two Aussi people who conned the hospital nurse re that royal birth .. they didn't really consider how it might affect any others who got involved with that 'prank' ..

i see the 'instantaneous gratification' thing of today coming into it, those people with no
care at all of any others involved just go .. self gratification feels a big part of it ..

some say a sense of cold cruelty seems to be more about with so many
today .. that said, it probably has always been so with as many ..

thanks, had heard she had withdrawn and it was good to read her letter
.. that and Bernstein's article were the best of those for me ..
