Taking this to its logical conclusion would mean that we all en masse would have to see with our own eyes everything that gets talked about in the media before we believed anything. I'll pass. That's not good enough either, GV. After all, your senses are fallible, and your eyes might have tricked you. The world out there is a possible mirage, and nothing is for sure. lindybill@pomo.com

But you are also saying that because he didn't, this necessarily throws the validity of the info in doubt. No, that's where you continue to get me wrong. My points were, at least on this point: (a) the judge could not have done the work to verify that so it was not based on his experience as he would have us believe, (b) he could just as easily have written that without going to Iraq, and (c) the most likely source for that was Bremer. None of those assertions are that the information was untrue. Just that the appearance offered by the judge's article that he observed these things and thus they were true, is not accurate. Nor, to repeat myself, am I saying information from Bremer is untrue. I have no way of knowing it's truth. But the judge does not know it's truth either. And that's my point. As for your final point, you've made an extreme statement, then charged me with making the extreme statement.
