Thanks for the background info on Debka. Since people here have very strong feelings (pro or con) regarding the validity of reports attributed to Debka, I've been curious about this source. I'll follow your suggestion and check it out.

It's the way Neal Boortz describes his program - don't believe it unless you check it out.

However, most people who have a reasonable idea (from other sources) of what's going on will know enough to verify Debka.

Personally, I have found Debka to be pretty reasonable, and as someone pointed out, a lot of the info is corroborated - much later. I find that it tends to "project" information a bit more than it should. That is, it takes a fact and runs with it to conclusions that don't happen - but I think it's a worthwhile source. And nothing in this article seems unreasonable, and in fact, much of it has already been reported elsewhere.
