Waiting game

You've got to wonder what's taking so long whether his bosses in the Greensboro Police Department did or didn't know whether Lt. James Hinson and another officer were starting a home for troubled teen girls on the side.

That question has been hanging for weeks now and still no answer.

It simply would seem to be a matter of asking: Did you or didn't you? And then confirming that with the appropriate supervisor or supervisors.

(We already know Chief Tim Bellamy wasn't aware.)

Why must everything be such a waiting game?

Citizens already have waited since what seems like the disco era for the outcome of an SBI report on the department. Councilwoman Sandy Carmany attributes that Jim Coman of the attorney general's office being distracted by the Mike Nifong case.

Fair enough.

But what's the excuse for the long silence on Hinson?
