On your point on the newswires, you simply know more than I do. I'm not arguing against them or for them. Just don't know. On the collaborators point, I thought I made myself clear. Given that I don't have an opinion about the AP specifically, the place the story was carried added no credibility. Subtracted a bit, in fact. As for whether collaborators have been killed, that appears to have been reported by lots of sources. I have no doubt it happened; nor am I surprised that it did so. The place where we appear to disagree is about the WSJ editorial page. I've made two points. First, that the range of opinion on that page is, customarily, much narrower than other op ed pages. My use of the word "customarily" is to acknowledge they do publish some occasional pieces that don't fit the profile. And, of course, once a week, they publish Hunt. Both of those exceptions, in my view, are ones that underline the rule. The second point is that the previous editor of that page, whose name just keeps escaping me, fudged facts for politics. imho. So far as I can tell, thus, we disagree only about the WSJ editorial page.
