BeardedBruce - with all due respect, in this, and numerous other threads, I believe you have been repeatedly distorting a point that SRS tried to make some weeks ago in another thread. It's not hypocritical at all to carefully consider the source of an assertion. In fact it is required for critical thinking. If Michael Moore were to write an article or make a documentary showing that W's of MD HAD actually been found, I would be inclined to believe it, not because I'm a MM acolyte, but because it dulls the ax he is grinding. Conversely, when a neocon insists that the W's of MD really have been found, I shall insist on indpendent confirmation because that is their party line. Hell, let's all insist on independent confirmation from multiple sources for *everything* rather than believing a single internet article or somesuch. (In fact, I believe this was darn close to SRS's point). SRS never told you you weren't entitled to your opinion - only suggested that she was disinclined to unquestioningly accept "facts" from your source.
