difference between opinion and fact:
An example should be made of Major Gen. Robert T. Clark, who oversees Kentucky’s Fort Campbell, where Pfc. Barry Winchell was murdered.
Opinion bolded. The rest is fact.
Fort Campbell continues to be a gay-basher’s paradise, as SLDN’s latest report amply documents. Gay discharges have skyrocketed there; gay soldiers are fleeing for their lives. Meanwhile, Clark blocked publication of potentially life-saving information about how to anonymously report anti-gay harassment. Clark must go.
Basically, this entire paragraph is opinion. The writer references SLDN as supporting some, not all, of of it, but a quick look at SLDN's website didn't reveal any supporting evidence. 'Gay soldiers are fleeing for their lives.' Absurd hyperbole.
This general was subject to an extreme amount of scrutiny as a result of this incident before he was recommended for promotion. That was by a bi-partisan committee of people who weren't running for president, though, so maybe they had nothing to do but their jobs.
