Thanks for the article about Scott Ritter. Several have been posted here lately. It basically says everything we all know and has a WSJ perspective. There is an ability to parse words and it is tempting to use the "deposition approach" to discredit someone and then state that one change of position makes a person a pathological liar or a traitor. I noticed yesterday the major newsbroadcast showed a clip of GWBush from the campaign stating how he would never support nation building and "The US had to be humble.", "We cannot go into another country and tell them how to do things." They juxtapositioned these clips with their reporting of the new Preemptive Foreign Policy. I could write an article about him with the Wall Street Journal parsing and slant and bring up the Carlyle Group and the Halliburton COmpany building the infrastructure in Afghanistan as a reason. That's what makes a market, the world go round, the need for and open mind and critical thinking. It's good to have a place to play theses things out. Rascal
