    Ummmmmm, what's the difference between L and L? Both support a new war of destruction against the Iranian people. Is there an American peace candidate? - Concerned Canadian.

    whattheheck? sure there are bigots in any religion, and haven't they run Israel for 58 years? decampe? you view CNN as a benchmark of truth? http://www.antiwar.com/reese/?articleid=9608 August 28, 2006 Bigotry and Ignorance of Islam by Charley Reese President George Bush's ignorance of the Middle East and its people is well-known. So also is his habit of parroting words and sentences given to him by other people. He hit a new low when he referred to "Islamic fascists." No two more opposite concepts are to be found. Fascism glorifies the nation-state; Islam is transnational. Fascism demands slavish devotion to a national leader; …

    Decampe quotes Debkafile as an authoritative source, but after reading Debkafile for a couple of weeks it seems more like a combination of propaganda and wishful thinking, spiced up with enough on the ground facts to keep the reader returning. The article quoted seems more like juicy gossip than Iranian policy. I prefer Beeman's analysis.

    decampe: Just because a rumour is repeated does not make it true. Did you notice that Olmert's claim that NATO killed 10,000 civilians in Yugslavia was unquestioned? NATO historically claimed 500, Yugoslavia claimed 1,000 to 1,200, so 10,000 was just another taste of chutzpah and hasbarah . I no longer believe any Israeli source without verification. I asked for the SOURCE of this rumour about Bin Laden's son, it sounds to me like the usual Debkafile type of fanciful "intelligence". Yes both quotes attributed to Ahmadinejad are mistranslations and repeated for the purpose of demonization and propaganda of a popular, democratically …
