Tommyjo:
Thank you for the detailed information update.
Having reviewed your detailed post and comments:
First, you cite 4 posts where you claim I reposted an error in a caption
which was originally from captions made publicly by AP and CNN.
That may be true, but also note that I originally gave credit
from where the caption and figures came.
At least one the pictures still has CNN (etc) on it indicating the origin.
In retrospect, I should have not trusted CNN, etc., of course.

Second, you have compiled a list of four posts containing my purported error.
However, it is noted that in none of the 4 threads that you cite
did you, Tommyjo, do a single post attempting to correct the matter.

Third, given your careful erudite post and long-term FReeper status,
there is reason to trust you more than CNN or any other member of the mainstream media.
Looking forward, if another of a photos' captions is wrong, you might speak up at the time and
actually contribute to the thread. You might also consider approaching CNN, AP, etc.
who made the original putative error that was, as you claim, re-reported here.

Fourth, if these are errors (first made by CNN, AP, etc who were cited in each post)
then they have been (very rare) errors on the side of America, rather then what is
usually seen on, and heard by, the MSM. I hope you have been and remain as aggressive
against those posts which hurt America or our President.

Finally, given your superior recognition abilities and your connections to CENTCOM,
why don't you have the DOD release even more pictures and videos of our guys and women doing
great deeds. As important, why don't you volunteer to take over at least some of the "Gotta See This" posts,
and try to publish a few of these laborious posts yourself, to help improve the world
correctly seeing America's good deeds.
