A lousy attempt to recover from their headache of an editor. But then, I don't expect Salon could box their way out of a wet paper bag.

Exactly.

Salon's "complex argument" excuse is pointless. The fact is, this author admitted to having anti-American sentiments.

Salon may find significance that the author's hostility to America was part of some (typical) liberal mental confusion. So what?

Salon's unpatriotic hostility was uncovered. Now it can never be denied.
