Comments Policy
(1) Comments are moderated, but with the lightest of touches, to exclude only off-topic comments or obviously racist or similar remarks.
(2) My clearing a comment implies neither that I agree nor that I disagree with the comment. My opinion is expressed in my words and my words only. Since this blog has more than 1500 posts, and since I at least occasionally comment myself, the blog provides more than enough material for readers to discern my opinions.
(3) If a reader finds an offensive comment, I urge the reader to e-mail me; if the comment is offensive, I will gladly delete it.
(4) Commenters who either misrepresent their identity or who engage in obvious troll behavior will not have their comments cleared. Troll-like behavior includes, but is not limited to: repeatedly linking to off-topic sites; repeatedly asking questions that already have been answered; offering unsubstantiated remarks whose sole purpose appears to be inflaming other commenters.
- "From the Scottsboro Boys to Clarence Gideon, some of the most memorable legal narratives have been tales of the wrongly accused. Now “Until Proven Innocent,” a new book about the false allegations of rape against three Duke lacrosse players, can join these galvanizing cautionary tales . . , Taylor and Johnson have made a gripping contribution to the literature of the wrongly accused. They remind us of the importance of constitutional checks on prosecutorial abuse. And they emphasize the lesson that Duke callously advised its own students to ignore: if you’re unjustly suspected of any crime, immediately call the best lawyer you can afford."--Jeffrey Rosen, New York Times Book Review

Durham Mayor wants to honor Duke lacrosse.

Now, THAT is rich. Quite rich. I love that one.
Indeed, one could not set out to write a book either with the cast of characters or with the ending. Reality outpaces fiction.
would not venture downtown for that ceremony!
What is this about??

That's just weird. To make sure the downtown is safe for the team, they should probably secure it by firing the DA, the police chief and certain memory challenged officers.
I'd also recommend temporary closure of businesses that sell pots, pans, large spoons etc. Weird performance-art dance displays should be permitted, but only in press areas.
If Professors want to make sure that students are "heard", I suggest a campus wide teach-in about blogs.
What about honoring the Women's Lacrosse team and the Women's 2007 Basketball team that made it to the championship game? Does Mayor Bell actually think people cannot see through his motive?
Well, I watched the city council tape. I'm glad that at least some effort is being made to get an independent review of the DPD "investigation" of the Duke hoax.
I see what the Chronicle's Jared Mueller meant when he referred to Howard Clement's tendency to go on a "rambling, impromptu solioquy." I couldn't understand a thing the gentleman was saying.
As far as the city's offer to honor the Duke Lacrosse players, I admit my first unworthy thought was that the players should say thanks, but no thanks. However, its up to the guys [and their attorneys].
I just hope Mayor Bell doesn't seriously believe that anyone is going to accept his bland explanation that the invitation is being extended to the team due to their athletic skills alone and no other reason. Ulterior motives in Durham? Absolutely not.
