Okay, Robert Gibbs made a really interesting point at the briefing just now: He delicately pointed out to the assembled reporters that their news organizations had also been too quick to accept the Breitbart video at face value.
This is important, because it hints at a frustration inside the White House that it rarely voices publicly: White House officials are often forced to respond to stories ginned up by the right because other news orgs too readily give them credibility. The key moment came when Gibbs was asked by a reporter if the moral of this story is "don't trust the internet. " Gibbs replied that news organizations had asked the White House for a response to Breitbart's two-and-a-half-minute video, when the speech was more than 43 minutes long.

Apply Bible, Constitution to AZ law. Mark V. Vlasic: Remembering Srebrenica & Our Responsibility to do More. Fifteen years ago today, thousands of Muslims were being slaughtered in Europe.
Some were killed opportunistically, but most were killed in a full-scale military operation: hands tied and blindfolded, they were lined up before freshly dug mass graves and shot in the back. In other cases, rather than bussing them to mass grave locations, their captors chose to murder them were they were detained - slaughtering them by the hundreds at a warehouse and theater, by volleys of gunfire and rocket-propelled grenades.
