Al Gore isn’t the creator of the WWW? But apparently the AP has figured that out with there brief report that the creator of WWW started a blog. Not much news. However, Wizbang does report how unprofessional the article is.

Reenlistment High - Paper reports opposite
On December - 22 - 2005
Red Streak reports “The few, the proud, the fewer.” When I saw this headliner which takes the whole page it appears that the troops are not willing to fight because the working hours are too long. Thankfully I was no so naive as to believe the MSM at face value. It helped to remember that somewhere a headliner in a paper reported excellent retention of troops that had been involved in Iraq.
So of course I did some quick checking (doing so also reinforced the need to use articles from sources whose archives don’t disappear).
Here are some of the articles that debunk Red Streak (please feel free to post other sources in the comments section).
Army Exceeds Reenlistment Goals (link to Star Tribune in this article has fallen off the radar)
Soldiers re-enlist beyond U.S. goal (USA Today)
High Re-Enlistment Rates in Combat Units (lgf)
Reenlistment rate remains high (Army Times)
