Feds Establish New Link to Hijackers

Thanks for confirming what I've known for quite some time about WorldNetDaily; it isn't credible. I wish FR would remove links to that site and also NewsMax.com from its front page. There is way, way, way too much questionable information on those two sites for me to ever believe a word I word from it.

So the policy is now; if two articles or sources disagree, we pull the one that the moderator believes is less credible? Say it ain't so.

I would rather the moderator let the reports stand, and US decide which is true as we do further research ourselves.... but hey, thats just me.

Release and tail abner. See where they run and who they call. This is how the LONG haul is gonna play out. We better get used to it. Subterfuge, discrepancy, disinformation and a host of things that just don't make sense.

The next few years should drive those of us with "conspircacy theory 101" in our curriculum background... absolutely nuts.

Please prove the credibility of DEBKA.

Do all the research you want. No one is stopping you. Meanwhile, we'll try to maintain some of Free Republic's credibility (lost cause?) by pulling unverified sources.

I asked you before to prove DEBKA's credibility. While you're at it, discredit the AP on the same story. Fair enough?

I have to agree. As soon as I see either of them as the source I just go ahead and click the BACK button. NewsMax always looks like a repackaged and re-spun version of stories from other sources. As much as I detest the liberal bias in the mainstream media, it is indeed those media who control the minds of the sheeple, so I like to keep an eye on what they're having to say. Fox is slowly making a dent in it, but it's a tiny ding thus far.

I honestly don't know or care who DEBKA is... or world net daily for that matter. I had not been made aware that the admin moderators were determining what WERE and WERE NOT reliable sources of information.

I find that... strange, and different... for here.

That articles posted from one source would be "pulled" because of any one person's particular leanings regarding the "credibility" of various sources, available on the web. NOT that long ago, I remember a certain reporter whose name rhymes with "budge", was being attacked by a certain group of posters... some recommended pulling any articles that were "sourced" in his online ezine. Those folks were wrong.

I could see moving something from the "hard news" column to the "opinions and theories" category, but deleting it because API did not agree with it... seems a little different than the past. NO matter.

It was not an argument. and I have ZERO idea what the original DEBKA article was about... but probably would have visited for consideration myself, had someone not pulled the thread. OF course its okay. I just like for others to report whatever, and let ME decide what to flush from my cache, AFTER I look at it.

Like I said, no matter. You do a great job. Hang in there...

Please prove the credibility of DEBKA.

you said "I asked you before ..."

But I did not see that as I don't stay here all night... so I did not see this earlier post of yours. Sorry.

As for DEBKA, I have zero idea who or what it is you are referring to... only that it was pulled. NOT an issue with me, I just did not understand WHAT was being referred to in earlier comments by other posters.

I have NO dog in this fight regarding debka. Only a sense of surprise of an alleged source being erased due to guidelines that I have not yet seen.

Are there a list of "questionable sources" that we all can be careful to avoid??? Welcome to post me through email if there is something I don't know... Peace out.

Placing weapons on the aircraft?

Or hiding them mid-flight to evad a possible search when it became evident that the planes were going to land at the nearewst field.

"...DEBKA was cited as the source on another thread. In a later post on that thread, kattracks posted an article from the Associated Press contradicting the DEBKA article. In post 2 on this thread, WorldNetDaily cited DEBKA as the source of their article, the same article posted earlier with DEBKA as the source, the same article that kattracks posted a contradiction from the Associated Press.
If anyone can show that DEBKA is correct and the Associated Press is wrong, I'll reconsider. Until then, the Associated Press wins for credibility..."

When 2 stories contradict, how can you determine which is/is not factual?
Is this the basis for pulling a post?
The moderator thinks it may not be factual?
I come here for raw news and commentary.
I do not want my news censored.
Please don't let FR turn into CNN...

Thanks for the link.. been there posted to you and the sysop... double entendre news reports are flowing like a river tonight... heh heh.... I see arafat and perez are absolutely going to/in no damn way meet tomorrow for talks.

EVERY tidbit is mirrored by a lie or truth in the opposite assertion. The closer we get, the more ghosts we can expect on the radar screen. If one outlets says: "The target is ... fill in the blank," it will be contradicted with a new report in hours or seconds...

I think its time to turn the steak over... Its starting to sizzle. GREAT catches tonight by the way....

Who or what is DBKA?

[jammer]

Why are they releasing these people? It won't be popular to say, but, look at the facts and draw your conclusions. Fact 1: Our intelligence people are clueless. Fact 2: There is overwhelming sentiment that SOMETHING must be done. They HAVE to arrest someone. Fact 3: Besides the gimme's (that a sheriff in Wink, Texas could have found from the info in the car in Logan parking lot), they are scurrying around trying to do something, anything. These people may or may not be suspects. Possible Conclusion 1: The optimistic view is that they are being questioned for leads and let go. Possible Conclusion 2: Roll your own. I won't say it.

[jammer]

Just who is a conspiracy theorist on this and what is his/her theory? I haven't heard it. Or was that just a cheap shot?

BTW, ONE of the conspiracy theories was validated by Stephanopolous in re TWA.
