I dunno, does it seem really really funny to anyone else that liberals, those eternal champions of Human Rights For Everyone and Generally Not Assassinating Or Killing People are getting labeled as lovers of the CIA? Are liberals secretly all in favor of the CIA, and that’s why they’re all up in arms over this Plame business? Because it sure as shootin’ couldn’t be that some people find it appalling that lives would be put in danger for the sake of political maneuvering. I mean, obviously liberals aren’t concerned with the welfare of other people. The REAL reason they want to spend tax money on public assistance programs is far more insidious, see. I can’t tell you exactly what it is, but believe me, it’s nefarious. Liberal CIA-lovers sounds like it should be a WHOOSH. It makes me go :dubious: if it’s not… ---

It’s a good book, with lots of interesting info. Quiet cheap, too. Or you can use snippets like **ElvisL1ves**. > > But even if you don’t aspire to know more the **Elvis** does, at least the fact is confirmed: CIA was messing with UN weapons inspections teams in Iraq, undermining the whole inspection process. So, you take the word of the man who took it upon himself to be UNSCOM’s chief liaison to intelligence agencies that UNSCOM talking to intel agencies was a bad thing? This is the same Scott Ritter who was accused of unauthorized contact with Israeli intelligence, but he claims that he was SUPPOSED to be talking to the Israelis? I don’t get it. You condemn UNSCOM for dealing with intelligence agencies, and hold up for high praise the one man who had the most to do with tainting UNSCOM’s image as beeing a tool of the Israelis and the Americans. You must be just as nuts as Ritter. ---

Correct, thank you for catching that. Rephrasing: “Those of us who have developed apposable thumbs are all about fighting ignorance here.” ---

On a side note, hunting and pecking for keys on a keyboard might be very frustrating without thumbs. Perhaps we should show more compassion to **Isky**. ---
