I'm seeing a potentially interesting pattern emerging here.

You, Neocon, and I are the only people in this discussion, as far as I can recall, who have identified them as having a background in college or university teaching. We are the ones who are also more analytical in our approach to this issue, less prone to jumping to false conclusions, and less tolerant of what one might term electronic hysteria.

I don't think this is a coincidence. The academic world has a certain passion for objectivity and careful thinking, and a commitment to the free exchange of ideas even when unpopular, than the world at large tends to have. These values seem to be at play in these discussions.
