Misuse of the Term Veteran in News Media

A listener's letter complains about the media's tendency to refer to police officers with very little experience as "veterans." Examples are cited where officers with only six to eighteen months on the job are given the title in news reports. The hosts agree that the language is being misused to lend unearned authority to individuals in news stories.

White House Fence Jumper and Secret Service Hoax

A new fence-jumping incident at the White House is reported by Major Garrett, involving the use of attack dogs to apprehend the intruder. The hosts compare this to the September 19th incident involving Omar Gonzalez, who was recently declared mentally incompetent for trial. They suggest these events are scripted to rehabilitate the Secret Service's image under new leadership.
