Three cheers for Charles Clifford. (link...) It can't be easy for him to have to have been truthful considering where he works everyday.

In another LTTE (link...) , Sgt. RL Dowdy extols the virtues of Judge Young, a man he considers a friend. Sgt. Dowdy does this under the pretext of just having read the first DT article. (Three weeks and more facts later, does he still feel the same about this Legal resident?)

For those who don't write the DT, many times Dean Stone will sit on a letter until he has a letter for juxtaposition protecting his "good old boys". There is no way he would have placed Mr. Clifford's LTTE in the section alone. Mr. Stone is also the one responsible for the LTTE titles. Notice all the games he plays with those.

Notice also, after four stories about the arm breaking incident at the jail, you still have not seen the fact the man was hancuffed written. From the DT today; (link...)

According to Blount County Sheriff’s Office Public Information Officer Marian O’Briant, though, the reason a camera is absent in the pat-down room stems from the late 1990s when the jail was built. Because of the construction budget for the jail project, 60 cameras had to be cut from the facility, she said.
“That was one of them that was cut,” she said.

If they cut sixty cameras, how many do they have? Someone in the pat down room is in custody. For now very obvious liability issues - would a camera in the first step of the jailing process not be a good idea?

The DT executives are apologist for corruption in this county. I advise you read their paper, review in your head the opposite of what they publish, and then decide what is true. Read their paper, just don't pay for it.

For those who aren't sure, here's a classic ditty from the "Good Ol' Boy's"; (link...)
