Hi lurqer,

Re: Here is the PBS article that I promised earlier. Pay particular attention to Juan Cole's comments. He is one of the best on understanding the Shia - e.g. on Sadr

Let me share some of the insights I've been achieving lately.

1. PBS is in the grip of the Right Wing. Watch for the names "Annenberg Foundation" "ADM" and a few other corporate foundation sponsors. They have completely gained control of the content on what we are now referring to as either Propaganda or Pentagon Broadcasting System. Beware. The PBS/NPR complex is now fully part of the government's disinformation and propaganda ministry.

2. Ray Suarez is very sympathetic to the opinions of the Right, and in the past two years has never expressed one progressive notion, TTBOMK.

Suarez's boss, Jim Lehrer is even more dreadful. The joke on this guy is that he makes funeral directors look lively.

If Jim Lehrer died, how could we tell?

3. Daniel Senor is a Zionist Likud zealot and certainly cannot be trusted to be serving the American public.

4. Reuel Gehrecht is a fellow at AEI, the American Enterprise Institute and is a neo-conman. Completely discredited for his ideological biases tainting every bit of his rhetoric and propaganda.

5. Who is Juan Cole? History professor from Michigan? What makes him an expert, other than his proximity to Iraqi bakeries in Dearborn?

*****
A vastly better source of information on the Shias and Sunnis in Iraq is the excellent and honest (non-PBS) reporting coming out of Democracy NOW!
