WP has an excellent service, not unlike Factcheck, that skims through the rhetoric and reports the facts, just the facts, m'am.
Latest is about two statements:
"The idea that we can keep incarcerating and keep incarcerating -- pretty soon we're not going to have a young African-American male population in America. They're all going to be in prison or dead. One of the two."
--John Edwards, MTV political forum, September 27, 2007
"We have more work to do when more young black men languish in prison than attend colleges and universities across America."
--Barrack Obama, NAACP forum, July 12, 2007.
Check out the refute here. Hint (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/): They are both wrong.
