I remember 20 years ago watching "Desert Storm" unfold on TV. The coolest thing I saw was the Special Forces guys (don't know what they were, Green Berets, Navy Seals, Delta?)...but anyway, they were shown tooling around in dune buggies. The TV reports said they had been running wild all over the deserts in Iraq.

Next time, if I can't drive, I want to ride shotgun. :-)

167. Journalism is a difficult profession.

That's why only professionals do journalism properly. There is so much about this story that is questionable. I'm afraid mistakes were made that should not have been made in the story. Big ones.

I'll start with the fact that not everyone who claims to be "special forces" is actually involved in special forces. It all unravels from that point.

177. Assuming he is an actual active-duty soldier

View profile
at all. As near as I can tell, that has not even been established.

It is my opinion, as a retired journalist, that this story is poorly researched and written. At the time of its publication, it was still unclear whether this person was alive or dead and no confirmation that he is even in the military. The Facebook post was just a launching platform for a bunch of speculation about our supposed special forces operations in Syria. There's no evidence presented of that, either. The only thing that led to all this speculation was some guy's post on Facebook, which may or may not even be a true statement by someone who may or may not actually be in the military.

Weak sauce, journalistically, all around. No editor of a responsible publication would approve such a poorly-supported article.

It seems your "special forces" soldier may not actually be dead. If that is true, then perhaps other things that you took as factual may also not be factual. Perhaps you were a little premature in your reporting and didn't check all the facts adequately. It happens, and is always embarrassing. If it it is true that this person did not die in combat, or isn't even an actual "Special Forces" soldier, perhaps a self-delete of your OP is in order. Your call, I think.

184. OP fools so many with jargon. First sign of that always should peg the BS meter.

View profile
Always states 'knowing' something, but gets vague about what, exactly, never backing up anything with nothing but 'say-so' evidence, or appeals to unknown authorities.

Total BS Meister.

I think Dummy Liberty Belle is IRL Miriam Raftery.  I guess she is the one that has been deciphering the nadin-speak for the online liberal rags.

210. Thank You, nadinbrzezinski.

I appreciate this information, and will keep it handy.

As I read this thread, I was reminded of your postings on the seriousness of the disaster at Fukushima, especially during the early days,
and the vicious, serial, coordinated attacks by those whose agenda was to keep the information on THAT disaster from The People.
You were correct then, and stood by your words.
THAT episode lends some credibility to your words here today.

You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.

Who was it that came up with "tongue boxing the fart box"?
That still cracks me up.

UPDATE FROM EDITOR: Unfortunately for all involved, there have been some real questions raised as to the validity of Jay’s death. Our original source was within Occupy San Diego, but who is now having second thoughts themselves.  Their source was reportedly a member of Jay’s family. Others have been making calls and have found NO confirmation of his death, either at the DoD site, Jay’s hometown, there’s no funeral home, no obituary, no report of his death except via this family member. And that person is not returning calls.

This story has more corrections than original content.  No wonder they have to give this paper away... no sane person would pay money for it.

NEW NEW UPDATE from 1/12/12: A reporter from a local news website who has been researching this story, says this in an email this morning: “He [Jay] died in the line of duty and what he was doing is supper, duper classified,…”

NEW UPDATE from 1/11/12: There is research still going on over this case about whether Jay Polk was killed or not. It is still possibly true that he was killed. To speculate why the DoD has not publicized his death yet, we understand that in certain black ops where lives are still in danger, info is carefully squeezed out – or not at all – until it’s over.

Excellent find Sparky.

I love this from Nad's editor:

Quote
East Coast Magazine just this minute updated their article with a disclaimer;
Update February 3, 2012: Sgt. Polk’s death has still not been reported by the Dept. of Defense, nor has any notice of his death appeared in his family’s hometown newspaper. A source has further informed ECM that his name has not been provided for addition to a memorial that honors fallen special services soldiers. Thus at this point, it appears likely that Polk did not die in service overseas. Perhaps he faked his death, or possibly someone else posted misleading information on his Facebook account. Where is he now? If anyone has conclusive evidence, please email editor@eastcountymagazine.org.

Should we alert her editor to her coveted award here?

Her "editor" at East County magazine is Miriam Raftery aka Liberty Belle at the DU, I've emailed her with a couple queries about this story but she doesn't answer.  She also deletes any comments that I make at the East County Mag article.
