Yahoo! News – Kerry Debate May Show Fickleness of Memory
Some veterans — and military records from the time — back much of what Kerry says, but some others who also served say otherwise. Does this mean someone is lying?
“I would give these people involved in the debate the benefit of the doubt that it’s not political lying,” says psychologist Elizabeth Loftus, of the University of California, Irvine, an expert on the reliability of eyewitness testimony. “It’s sort of wanting to remember things in a certain way. That’s probably why all these people seem so sincere. They may actually believe what they’re saying.”
Far from being an indelible recording, human memory is fragile, incomplete, malleable and highly subject to suggestion, researchers have shown in dozens of studies.

the experiment with soldiers, Yale researchers interviewed about 150 at intervals over six years, starting soon after their return from the first war with Iraq (news – web sites) in 1991.
They asked the soldiers questions about their experiences, including whether they took incoming gunfire, faced Scud missile attacks and witnessed a friend’s death. About 15 percent changed their recall of something significant, like seeing a friend die, the researchers reported.
Some veterans were upset when their own discrepancies were pointed out. Some even asked for help. “They would say, `Which one is it?’ to me,” Morgan said. “I’d say, `I don’t know. I wasn’t there.’”
Scary stuff! Sounds like someone ought to find a fix and put out a patch… oh wait…

Bush’s risky 9/11 legacy | csmonitor.com
Several psychological studies have shown that, when confronted with images of 9/11, members of both political parties report having more positive feelings about Bush. One study, by the University of Missouri, even found that when individuals were simply reminded of their own mortality, they were more likely to be supportive of Bush.
Well that certainly explains the results from this search:

That last one is especially ironic given the fact that NYC complained that it never got the federal funding it needs for security.
I suppose this was obvious.

Yahoo! News – `Values’ pitch a potent elixir
Dozens of interviews around the state produced a more textured definition. Values are described as traditional, patriotic, Christian, family, human, social, moral, ethical. Values also are referred to in financial terms, the monetary measure of homes, crops, cars, jobs, investment portfolios and overall quality of life.
Values sure are complicated.
