WND still with the annoying pop-up ads, but Cashill seems always worth the read.

Buckley rag was CIA controlled opposition from the start and I wonder whether that is what it still is. And just who donates how much to their opaque “foundation”.

Meanwhile, their idiot editor’s apology is of course a non-apology apology. Simply saying his words were too strong—and not that he ran with the liberal media fake story, when the evidence is now clear that the boys indeed were innocent.

From your link, Nicholas Frankovich:

I was preachy and rhetorically excessive, and I regret it.

You weren't just "excessive," you were flat wrong to blame the kids.

Let this apology stand in its stead, both here on the Corner and in the memory of readers who justifiably objected to my high-handedness.

That is not an apology to the kids you slandered.

Frankovich really does not get it. I think NR will lose many readers over this.

Cashill is an excellent detective and his book on flight 800 and his theory (and the case for it) that Bill Ayers wrote Obama's book "Dreams from my Father" were powerful and frankly convincing.

The problem is that when really mind-blowing theories appear in isolation without any support from other accepted sources in the media (Andy McCarthy excepted), such theories are relegated to the fringe.

I think Cashill is probably right about both flight 800 and Bill Ayers, but he is a voice crying in the wilderness.

I have followed Cashill for years and have even spoken with him through blog I once owned many years ago. He is solid as a rock and so is his research.

But if you need any greater evidence of my claim above about how little power such detective work has when proclaimed from one isolated corner of the universe, look no further than the fact that Cashill is published almost exclusively by WND.
