You must be the nit pickinest person I have ever run across.
If you went in to a library, and they have a mear 10 books to what should be hundreds or even thousands - don't you think you might say to someone - that darn library hasn't got any books!
And if the comment in question is about school books - then there weren't any of those either.

No, accuracy is important to me! If I only saw 10 books on the shelf, then I would say there were only 10 books on the shelf in the library. (By the way, and everyone knows how much I hate Dundee, Litchfiled, Joe and the others who hurt my boys, however, one thing my boys did do at Dundee that was good was to read. They read paper backs, but none the less, they read.)
It is kinda of like saying "I was beaten" verses "I was restrained." There is a difference if accuracy is important to you. Both in my opinion are abusive given the individuals (those Dundee employees who had no training) who were doing the "restraining" and/or "beating."
So as far as Karen's Clinton statement, attempting to define "no books", it is another testament to her inability to provide any worthwhile creditable/credible information.

Hi Carey - from the High Impact thread it sounds like PURE was in possession of the video and that's how Inside Edition got it?
This whole thing is confusing. Doesn't PURE refer to behavior programs that may or may not be "good" programs? Who knows for sure?
Is it your feeling PURE was the one that got Inside Edition to report this story?
I'm sure if that good or bad since they refer to the same types of programs, but just aren't in the news.
Carey:
I do not know whether or not PURE had or has had a copy of the video.
I do know how Inside Edition found out about the video, and it was not through PURE. It was because I knew of its exisitence and I knew who owned it. I put Inside Edition in touch with the owner. I know that there is another news agency that also has a copy of the video.
No, PURE persay, is not to receive credit for the airing of this story. However, there are some individuals who are on her listserv, including the owner of the video tape, that can be credited with this story being aired.
The Times Picayune and The Tico Times and two other TV broadcast shows (20/20 and a German TV station) are the only media outlets that wrote on this story without being tipped on to it by my professional contact.
After my original trip and story in the local news paper here, I met an individual who's company works very close with the various media outlets. This individual read my story and offered to help me to focus the media's attention on Dundee first, and then on these programs in general.
You see my contact would put the word out on the Associated Press Wire and all of the other news media outlets picked up on it. He would then give them my contact name and I would in turn give the contact information out on others who were willing to talk to the press.Anyway, that is how and why the media became interested in these types of programs.
Evidently, the owner of the tape decided to release it to Inside Edition instead of saving it for the "class action." That is what I said he should have done all along. Evidence is evidence. It can still be used in court. Why keep it from the public? I guess he understands that now.
