The report was framed nicly in that the idea was sound and the facts seemed to be well reserched. The problem I have with this report is that it seems to just by doing a play by play of what is going on in this case. There was little to no interviews or words from people not directly associated with the report. Its good and well writen from a journalism point of view. but there is little outside teh report that is put down on paper. If i wanted to read the report I would, but a journalism peice should have more than just strate facts ans quotes.
