Globe on Gates

It is absolutely appalling for anyone to comment on this without all the details.  What detail would help us?  Maybe, the police report.  Oh, but the Boston Globe pulled it off their website because of what it reveals.  It is the media’s job to distribute facts for readers/viewers process on their own.  Hiding the facts speaks volumes.

I think Gates hasn’t filed a lawsuit because he knows he has no case.  He needs the media to stop harping on this issue, so that it fades from memory before people realize he never filed suit.  If backed into a corner, I think he’ll claim to take the moral high ground.  He’ll say he’s not filing a suit because he’s above the back-and-forth.  He’ll take credit for ending the cycle, being the bigger person and being forgiving.  He (and the Gov and the Pres) have forever tarnished the name of an accomplished, honest, respected officer.
