I believe that a person can articulately put forth their opinion on Middle East Foreign Policy without being considered an expert in the area.

Howlin,

The belief that only known experts can be able to accurately for forth a valid opinion is a purely elitist notion and one that I would not support.

Well, there's the rub, isn't it? He wasn't accurate.

BUSH CAVES IN TO TERRORISM READY TO ANNOUNCE PROVISIONAL PALI STATE

That's not "putting forth" an opinion on anything, that's predicting what the president was about to do, and Larry was (as usual) spectacularly wrong.

Now, you and I argued once that implications carry weight when you supported Larry's distortion on the promotion of a mid-level government employee. Larry claimed (and you supported his claim) that the fact that Bush and Ashcroft were in charge at the time, this implied that the promotion was their doing.

Now, Larry accepted to appear on a radio program to discuss official US government policies concerning the Middle East, that implies that Larry considers himself an expert on this issue, otherwise, why would the station invite him, or why would he accept?

So then, according to yours and Larry's own logic, the fact that he appeared on a radio show to specifically discuss US Middle Eastern policy implies that Larry claims to be a Middle Eastern policy expert.

Or were you both wrong on that other thread?

Oh, one last thing...what's Larry doing criticizing Bush's foreign policy anyway? There was nothing illegal done by the Bush administration here.

Is Judicial Watch a public interest, non-profit law firm? Or is it in reality a Liberal Political Action Committee.

I know what I would answer to that.
