    Em, it was the Guardian that led with and exposed most of the NOTW stuff.

    I'd much rather take the word of the Guardian and Telegraph as much as I dislike them than a bunch of pinko-liberal nuts and their anti-war buddies.

    Anti-war? wtf does that even mean? :/

    You really think that the 'nuts' are those that oppose unnecessary bloodshed?

    I think he means the group who run the website that OP got most of his links from.

    Well antiwar.com is certainly no pinko-liberal website. In fact, its founder is quite a conservative right-wing libertarian, who just happens to have the sense to see why aggressive warfare is not always the best way to go about things.

    I suspect that RMD wrongly equates anybody who does not support the US' foreign policies to being left-wing crusties or similar. Quite a juvenile stance to take, really.

    From the site -

    "While openly acknowledging that we have an agenda, the editors take seriously our purely journalistic mission, which is to get past the media filters and reveal the truth about America's foreign policy"

    As good as getting it from a site called www.prowar.com

    I still haven't heard from OP.. I don't even really understand this thread.
