	Question of fact - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In law, a question of fact (also known as a point of fact) is a question which must be answered by reference to facts and evidence, and inferences arising from those facts.
		Depending on the nature of the matter, the standard of proof may require that a fact be proved to be "more likely than not", that is there is barely more evidence for the fact than against, as established by a preponderance of the evidence; or true beyond reasonable doubt.
		Rather, the findings of fact of the first venue are usually given great deference by appellate courts.

	Factfinding (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-30)
		Although most parties turn to fact finding after mediation has failed to resolve all the issues, using mediation is not a prerequisite to fact finding.
		Fact finders typically will require a statement of the issues and positions of the parties prior to the beginning of the fact-finding hearing.
		It may contain statements, facts, precedents, or other pertinent evidence that support that party's position on the issues that party considers to be still in dispute.

	Online NewsHour: Microsoft Finding of Fact -- November 5, 1999
		One reason for this is the fact that no single type of information appliance, nor even all types in the aggregate, provides all of the features that most consumers have come to rely on in their PC systems and in the applications that run on them.
		The fact that a vastly larger number of applications are written for Windows than for other PC operating systems attracts consumers to Windows, because it reassures them that their interests will be met as long as they use Microsoft's product.
		In fact, although the discussions ended before Microsoft was compelled to demarcate precisely where the boundary between its platform and Netscape's applications would lie, it is unclear whether Netscape's acceptance of Microsoft's proposal would have left the firm with even the ability to survive as an independent business.

		You would think, while two BBC reporters are in Lebanon, that one or other could find the time to do a bit of research and discover what is happening.
		I don't see any mention of the fact that the Holy See stands with Israel in defending its sovereign borders and independence when terrorists cross the border to attack Israeli soldiers and then kidnap two of them to haul back to Lebanon.

	TomPaine.com - Consequential Lies
		Speeches by President George W. Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney earlier this week were timed to pre-empt and cast doubt on a 9/11 commission finding released on Wednesday that there is “no credible evidence that Iraq and Al Qaeda cooperated on attacks against the United States.”
		Jerry Phillabaum, commander of her MP battalion. Phillabaum wrote that Girman got it into her head that the rapist might be among the prisoners she was guarding, and decided to exact what he termed “vigilante justice.”
		The inference from the disclosures of the past few weeks that the Bush administration apparently paged through the telephone books to find lawyers willing to justify torture and abuse is outrageous enough. It is equally sobering to reflect on the fact that meretricious rhetoric from our highest officials can produce the same effect.
