A Liberal columnist writing his comments and using the New York Times as a reference. That's about as much credibility as MAD magazine.
I don't think Brady is accurately described as a "liberal columnist". I saw him speaking on C-SPAN2. It was quite fascinating. He is a Korean War veteran and recently went back to Korea to visit and write about the area where he fought. While visiting some U.S. generals, he pulled out the original military map he had used in 1951and showed then the hill he had been fighting for and said that he felt he had earned the right to go back for a visit. They were very interested and called in some Korean officers to look at the map. It turned out the hill is still a South Korean base and Brady was given permission to visit.
In response to a question from the audience, Brady also described his first hand knowledge of Pat Robertson during the Korean War and told how P.R. had had to back down from his lawsuit concerning a previous Brady article after Brady rounded up several other vets who recalled Robertson's statements and behavior on the ship to Korea.
