re: Your article is bullshit. Do you believe it? There you go again. If it doesn't fit with your thinking, you say it's bullshit. Elroy knows better than a reporter for the LA Times. Elroy knows better than a reporter for The New Yorker. Elroy is the ultimate arbiter of truth. In some ways, he scares me more than than the rightie hawks. Fact is, you are in denial. He's got something going on that's a big weird. ted

Fact is, you are in denial. I don't believe doctors in Basra are routinely beaten up for treating Iraqi female patients, and that was the first sentence of the posted article. Given the inaccuracy of the lead sentence, I didn't even bother to read the rest of the article. There is nothing in even the Islamic fundamentalist's view of the world that supports the idea of punishing Muslim doctors that treat Muslim women - its completely ludicrous. When presented with something that makes zero sense, I assume its false, even if it appears in the wonderful LA or NY Times. That's the way I work. If you want to call it denial, go ahead. IF the point was that there was more lawlessness in Basra following the regime change, that would be hard to argue with.
