Haven't made up my mind about guilt or innocence. Don't have enough information, all I hear is things like "He has pictures of bin Laden" on one side and "The community likes him," on the other. Neither of those statements are evidence for or against visa fraud, or any crime. Are they?

Have made up my mind about the difference between evidence and opinions/propaganda.

Wasn't criticizing judges, was criticizing the FBI & the media.

But I do recall the courts in this country used to consider people innocent until proven guilty, back when I was a boy. You don't like that? It was one of the ways we considered ourselves superior to the French, who presumed the accused were guilty.

I don't quite follow your reasoning about the magazines. Are you saying that if I were Republican, reading the National Review would be evidence of it, and if I were not Republican it wouldn't? If that's it, I think that's close to my point, though I'd say something like "symptom" instead of "evidence."

What I was getting at was that both innocent and guilty people (or Republicans and independents) may read the same things. Not true?
