Yeah, yesterday debka alone says that US diplomats are sending serious warnings to Syria, today it bursts out into the open...showing again the complete uselessness of debka. Debka has been right in their analyses more than they have been wrong on this war, and frankly that's more than you can say about the New York Times' reporting.

Win, the same could be said of the N.Y. Times. Worldnetdaily was certainly more accurate in their editorial pieces on how this war stacked up then they were. When a major news organization, such as the N.Y. Times, is wrong as routinely as they've been in their predictions of the Afghanistan and Iraq conflict, I ask you, why do so many consider the N.Y. Times a credible source of opinion? They were wrong in the first Gulf War, they were wrong in Afghanistan, and they've been proven totally wrong in their analysis of the Iraqi situation. I read (and hear), all sources of information I can. From worldnetdaily, to the New York Times, to PBS, to talk radio. Then, (based largely on their track record) I allow my internal filters mechanisms to gauge where the useful data is coming from. Keeping lenses planted so firmly on, as you seem to imply, will rarely broaden your awareness and creative thought processes.
