I'm not thrilled with analogies either. My mother used to warn me against them back when I was a kid back in the 50's. (She used to say, and I'll never forget it, "comparisons are odious." - I must have heard that 100 times - I guess I made too many comparisons even then! ;))
Anyhow, what particularly do you find that the writer wrote with which you disagree? What? Your sarcasm is never-ending, but you are not making your point at all. What particularly do you find incorrect in the article? Quit attacking the messenger, try attacking the message. You are sounding not unlike a weak-minded liberal with your rant against the writer's background.
I'm beginning to think you must have just had an unpleasant experience at your local chuckwagon or tearoom!
You are being disingenuous. I was quite clear that my position was one of skepticism about what was being reported because the individual being quoted (Seymour Hersh) has a less than credible reputation for reporting the facts and the article's writer is not a seasoned expert on the topic. You *know* that.
If you wish to discuss facts, I'll be glad to continue a dalogue on the facts. However, your ad hominem attacks are not persuasive and I won't waste time responding to them.
