So, do you think it is fair to say that Debka critics are harsher on Debka than on al Qaeda?

I would not say that, but you are out of line to bash someone for posting an article from Debka. Just because one cannot validate a story does not make it false by proxy. In this story, Debka is simply spelling out the chatter heard in AQ Blogs. I am glad that there is a media like Debka doing so. I think it is time to break this silly tradition of bashing posters who reference a Debka articles....I know it is fun and all for you guys, but it is time to grow up. Debka is an alternative source of information, treat it as so, and make up your own mind.

Uh, dude, I was getting after his comparison. It is asinine and highly insulting to say that Debka critics are harsher on Debka than al Qaeda. And you friggin' know it, but you sidestepped around it to make your Debka defense.

We've caught Debka lying too many times to accept them as anything less than a joke. A criticial function of FR is to debunk media lies, whether they come from CNN, the NY Times, or Debka. If that happens to gore one of your sacred cows, tough noogies.

We were debunking Debka's bogus stories long before you started posting here, so don't lecture me about what is out of line on FR.
