Is this a cover-up?
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/10/28/news-orgs-investigate-pos_n_138449.html
For the past two months, a major American magazine and an allied news service have been engaged in a legal battle with the United States Navy over records that they believe show that John McCain once was involved in an automobile accident that injured or, perhaps, killed another individual.
Vanity Fair magazine and the National Security News Service claim to have knowledge “developed from first-hand sources” of a car crash that involved then-Lt. McCain at the main gate of a Virginia naval base in 1964, according to legal filings. The incident has been largely, if not entirely, kept from the public. And in documents suing the Navy to release pertinent information, lawyers for the NS News Service allege that a cover-up may be at play.

Two carjacking suspects were in custody Wednesday after the vehicle in which they were fleeing from deputies crashed into a pickup truck in South Los Angeles, killing the man who was driving it, authorities said.
Paramedics sent to Century Boulevard west of Vermont Avenue shortly before 7 a.m. pronounced a man dead at the scene, d’Lisa Davies of the Los Angeles Fire Department said.
Miguel Castro Falcon, 46, of Los Angeles, died in the accident, said Capt. Ed Winter of the coroner’s office.
The vehicle, a Toyota Camry, that crashed into the truck had been carjacked at gunpoint shortly before 5 a.m., Deputy Johnie Jones of the Sheriff’s Headquarters Bureau said.
Deputies saw it about 7 a.m. and started chasing it, but backed off when they were told it was just a stolen vehicle, Jones said. It then crashed into the pickup truck.
The passenger in the Camry was arrested at the scene after getting into one of several other vehicles that were involved in the collision and trying to pass himself off as a victim, deputies said.
The driver fled but was caught about 90 minutes later, Jones said.
Both suspects were 16 years old, Los Angeles police said.
“I felt that they left him in the car too long,” Charles Rhodes, who said Falcon’s sons were in his karate class. “He (sat) there and suffered for about 10 minutes before he died. And that’s unfortunate, that a police pursuit went bad.”
The watch commander called off the chase “figuring that … the suspect would slow down and nobody would get injured from the incident.”

By ‘Duk
Terrible news out of California this morning, where we’ve just learned that the Angels’ Nick Adenhart was killed in an early morning hit-and-run accident in Fullerton on Thursday.
The news was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed by Yahoo! Sports baseball columnist Tim Brown.
Just 22 years old, Adenhart started for Los Angeles on Wednesday night and struck out five over six scoreless innings in a 6-4 loss to Oakland.
According to reports, Adenhart was driving home with three others in his Mitsubishi when a mini-van ran through a red light and hit Adenhart’s car, causing it to crash into a light pole. Two passengers in the car died on the scene while another was pronounced dead at the hospital. The driver of the mini-van fled the scene, but was later apprehended by police.
This is the most tragic news you can imagine in the baseball world and our thoughts go out to Adenhart’s family and the entire Angels’ organization, which was already reeling from the death of a fan who was involved in a fight on Opening Day
