CAREY ROBERTS: AG Holder Needs to Retract False Statement about Domestic Violence.

In ringing prose, President Barack Obama underscored his March 9, 2009, memorandum on scientific integrity with this promise: ?Under my administration, the days of science taking a back seat to ideology are over?.To undermine scientific integrity is to undermine our democracy.?

As luck would have it, Attorney General Eric Holder issued a statement a few months later designed to spotlight the issue of domestic violence. In Holder?s own words, ?Disturbingly, intimate partner homicide is the leading cause of death for African-American women ages 15 to 45.?

Turns out this statement is not one-sided or misleading. It?s flat-out wrong.

Good luck on that retraction.
