I suggest you do a thorough study of DEBKA's accuracy.
Despite a few admittedly hilarious stories put out by DEBKA, they are respected in many corners (beyond our own little parochial Free Republic).
I have personally challenged (by email) WND's Joseph Farah on his publication's fondness for DEBKA's stories. He actually responded personally, and let me have it with both barrels. He makes NO APOLOGY for his reliance on DEBKA. In fact, as a professional newsman with over 20 years' experience, I highly doubt that Farah'd jeopardize the credibility of his Web site by relying so much on a any news source that proved to be consistently unreliable.
I know it's vogue to trash DEBKA in here, but it simply shows one's ignorance to do it without having one's tongue firmly planted in cheek. DEBKA puts out LOTS of stories that pan out FAR AHEAD of the lamestream mainstream -- not just the few bonehead ones we all joke about.
By the way, I like it in here, but sometimes we should realize that not every intelligent person is a FReeper. (Just most of them. LOL.)
Please note that I am NOT defending Seymour Hersh in my post -- but, rather, only making a case for a more mature attitude towards DEBKA in this forum.
