Morgan’s Reality Check

[Last updated in 2007, “Morgan’s Reality Check,” subtitled “Pointing out facts (and opinions) that sometimes get lost in the propaganda shuffle,” was originally on Xanga, then posts were copied to silver-gateway.com. The posts will all be under the category “Reality Check,” and this page has what was sidebar material.

There were two other pages that were part of the site that I’m not moving (or at least I wasn’t originally moving but now have) because they’d both be a pain to reformat: My Iraq Casualty Count Calendar (a visual of casualties/day, and my Iraq Casualty Memorial, a graphical representation of lives lost.]
