I am suspect also, but I searched and found nothing to say it isn't true. I will post another link to the article and this about the author. I would like this NOT to be true, but not surprised either. The "America's Survival, Inc. link is to www.usasurvival.org.
ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Toogood Reports contributor and "Best of the Web" award-winning writer Cliff Kincaid is a veteran journalist and commentator who has been based in the Washington, D.C. area for more than twenty years. He serves as president of Americas Survival, Inc., a public policy organization concerned with global issues. A recognized and respected figure in the conservative movement, Cliff is a frequent guest on radio and television. You may e-mail your comments to him at antiun@earthlink.net.
I pretty much keep up with the "stars" of the conservative movement and never have heard of this guy or seen him on television or heard him on the radio.
Whenever I see quotes like a "frequent guest on radio and television" in a bio line a red flag goes up for me. Sounds like a self aggrandizing hack to me. And yes self aggrandizing hacks are to be found on the right as well as the left.
This is an article spin (lie) in an effort to rally more opposition to the upcoming regime change in Iraq.
I was wondering if the author is anti-war. I guess this answers it. The Bush-hater club should be here shortly (some have already popped by to say "hi").
Well then if you can't prove a negative, then it must be true.
Are you saying that anything that cannot be readily proven false is true?
