To you, giving the benefit of doubt to terrorists is called critical thinking, while giving it to the U.S. military is gullibility.

It's a short book that everyone should read, although I suppose True Believers won't want to read it...but for everyone else, there's:

Did you take attendance?
Where's Neocon?
The absence of Hawkmoon and Bilow leaves me yearning for closure. We have a lot of open items. Somebody better show up. I guess Joh M. is too busy.

Excellent posts. It's no wonder that the Bill's and the Sig's of this thread of resorting to pathetic one-liner putdowns. They've learned from their idols...when you have no defense, try to destroy the messenger.
