Making Up Convenient Facts

Goodwin refers to "Loughner's documented mental disorder," with no evidence. Is he citing Sheriff Dupnik's statements? If Goodwin has knowledge of the medical records of the accused shooter, how did he get them? In violation of state and US privacy laws? While lamenting hyperbole of the Secretary of State he does what he criticizes her for doing.

[From article]
"To call Loughner an "extremist" in an Arab land fighting al Qaeda is not a mere semantic mistake. Clinton equated Loughner's documented mental disorder with the religious fanaticism of Islamic terrorists, a formula that echoes the slur that his crimes were political."
