Why Doesn't Oprah Take Down the Herman Rosenblat Story from Her Website?
Dear Dr Lipstadt, [and Dr Waltzer and Sharon Sargent and Colleen Fitzgerald]
Why Doesn't Oprah Take Down the Herman Rosenblat Story from Her Website?
Although you earlier said you would no longer blog about the sad
Herman Rosenlat "memoirs" affair, since the book has been
cancelled before its scheduled publication, there is one more point
that I feel needs to be made on your blog here, where other
members of blogosphere can chime in with their points of view, pro or
con. The question must be asked, were those of us -- and there were
many working on this issue, from many different points of view, and
with different professional credentials, and it was merely an informal
team -- were those of us who worked on cancelling the book really
successful? Yes, the book was cancelled, and the children's book
"based" on Mr Rosenblat's backstory he told on Oprah's show two times
was also recalled and cancelled, but there is a new and improved book
coming out soon, sometime in 2009, according to news reports, and
although nobody knows what form this new book will take, it is
apparently going to be based on Herman's backstory, the same story he
told on Oprah and in his memoir. And plans for a motion picture about
Herman's life is also in the works, although production has not
started and may never start.
So in a way, we lost. Herman's story will appear in some kind of book
this year, from a new publisher. A movie "might" be made at some
point, but the movie won't appear, if ever, until at least 2012. And,
and here is the main point I want to make and ask your advice, and
also the advice of Dr Ken Waltzer and his team of researchers and
forensic experts who exposed the fraud of Herman's memoir, the
backstory remains online with text and photos of Herman and Roma on
the Oprah Winfrey homepage. With a disclaimer, yes, saying the Penguin
book was cancelled, and Oprah has admitted now on her show and to the
AP reporter Jim Suhr that she was fooled. So why does she leave
Herman's backstory up on her website, as one of the most remarkable
love stories ever told on her show?
With the new book coming out this year, the movie still in
pre-production stages (with principal photography due to start in
April in Hungary) and with Oprah's leaving the backstory up on her
homepage, our victory was a hollow one. We didn't win. In fact, we
lost. Can you explain to me how Oprah is allowed to keep the false
backstory, blind date and all, on her website for all the world to
see?
Sincerely,
Danny Bloom

They can only dream of holidays at home
By Al Neuharth, USA TODAY Founder
Most of us love to spend Christmas with our families, but many cannot. Some numbers of this year's can-dos and cannots:
• More than 62 million of us will travel 50 miles or more to be with family.
• Most of our 2.4 million military men and women will be unable to go home for the holidays.
• More than a half million troops serving overseas will have little holiday happiness, especially the 138,000 in Iraq.
My saddest Christmases came when I was ages 19, 20 and 21 serving in the Army in World War II. The 86th (Blackhawk) Infantry Division took me far from my South Dakota home, first to Texas and California for training, then to France, Germany and the Philippines.
Some of my Blackhawk buddies and I often were watery-eyed when we heard the holiday hit song of 1943 and 1944 — Bing Crosby singing, I'll be home for Christmas if only in my dreams.
Despite unhappy holidays, nearly all of us who served in WWII were proud, determined and properly armed and equipped to help defeat would-be world conquerors Hitler in Germany, Mussolini in Italy and Hirohito in Japan.
At age 80, I'd gladly volunteer for such highly moral duty again. But if I were eligible for service in Iraq, I would do all I could to avoid it. I would have done the same during the Vietnam War, as many of the politically connected did.
"Support Our Troops" is a wonderful patriotic slogan. But the best way to support troops thrust by unwise commanders in chief into ill-advised adventures like Vietnam and Iraq is to bring them home. Sooner rather than later. That should be our New Year's resolution.

Al Neuharth, in Christmas Column, Calls for Bringing Troops Home from Iraq
In a column noting the high number of U.S. military personnel in Iraq who will be far from home on Christmas, USA Today founder Al Neuharth declared that if he were eligible to serve in Iraq, "I would do all I could to avoid it." He also wrote in his weekly column for the paper that America's New Year's resolution should be to bring the troops home "sooner rather than later."
Neuharth, 80, a World War II vet, said he would happily volunteer for that kind of "highly moral duty again." But he would avoid serving in Iraq, likening it to the Vietnam war, which "many of the polticially connected" managed to escape.
He concluded that "support our troops" is a wonderful slogan but "the best way to support our troops thrust by unwise commanders- in-chief into ill-advised adventures like Vietnam and Iraq is to bring them home. Sooner rather than later. That should be our New Year's resolution."
Neuharth served in the infantry in World War II in France, Germany and the Philippines. He noted that he and his colleagues in that war were "properly armed and equipped."

Hi there!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.
For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I'm with no money problems now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I get now up to 2G a day , and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Turn to my web site to get additional info.
