Teribus - I've spoken both on your side & for you in the past. In this thread at least, you're a prize muppet. The article may be subjective & questionable (so not unlike a lot of your expressed opinions then), it is not utter crap. You can do better than such a vacuous & bilious remark. If you want to run Col Wilkerson down, at least do him the courtesy of presenting a decent argument (with sources!).

Mr Murdoch - if you're going to use the moniker of "Peace", how about not trolling, eh? (No not even Teribus! ;-) Like T. you can do better than a cheap slanging match.

For what it's worth, I thought the article was interesting. I do not have the political bias to declare it "powerful", nor the inside knowledge to be able to comment upon its accuracy. It does reinforce the need to question the powers-that-be (*any* powers-that-be, not just the current US incumbents), & not blindly accept the official line. Equally, I think, it also reinforces the need to question the antis-that-are, & not to blindly accept regime bashing. I, perhaps, see less criticism of the current US govt than Amos, for instance.

As for Markedly Gibbering, it's no surprise to see you back to your usual poisonous self. A pity the holiday didn't last longer (e.g. permanently). "Traitor" - what a cheap & empty label. So someone says something you don't like. We'll lynch him now shall we...
