That doesn't alter the fact that Barrett's pen is typically used to skewer folks he deems insufficiently pure and left. His venom for Rudy speaks to the Left's fears. That is the point I was making.
And exactly how does this shows he "is a Stalinist"?
Here is the thing. Barrett is a pretty good investigative reporter. He got a 15 page document from the 9/11 commission that other media has not yet reported on. Clearly (IMO), it contains information showing that much of what Rudy is saying on the campaign trail is inaccurate - false - a lie.
You seemed to infer that we should just ignore it because "Barrett is a Stalinist." I choose to look at the facts of the story. The facts are that Rudy has little experience in National Security, has little vision or experience when it comes to terrorism, and therefore, despite all of the reports saying Rudy is the best candidate when it comes to the WOT issue, he is not. Several other candidates could, and do, run circles around him, IMO.

Why is investigative reporting "venom"? We're talking about a man running for the President of the United States! I want to see all the candidates fully vetted, on all sides of the aisle.
