Coulter s assertion that 9-11 widows are attention whores
What I said was:

This is exactly what Ann Coulter was talking about.
No matter how grief stricken that woman is, she has no corroboration for an accusation that  ambushes by attached Iraqi units are still happening to soldiers today.

Whether or not Coulter said the Jersey Girls were attention whores, that was not her point. It was about their use by liberals to feign authenticity.

And, unlike you, I have read the book, not just a few quotes. (Aside: A truly inquisitive person might wonder what’s in a book of 280 pages, when only less than a half a dozen pages are getting any attention, speaking of cover -ups.)

This incident + Haditha, while maybe not evidence of a pattern, sue smells fishy to me. And I don't think this incident is what (M)Ann coulter was talking about. The pissed-off mother of a dead soldier who want' to know the TRUTH about what happened to her son is not the same as Coulter's assertion that 9-11 widows are attention whores (of course, it would take one to know one, right?).

They must really hate America. I see that, since 2004, the liberal press has squelched this ‘happy’ news story of Iraqis learning how to take over policing their country.

The fact that Ms. McCaffrey was usatisfied with explanations, means there were explanations

Multiple explanations does not equal a cover – up.
Nor does one incident make a pattern.
