RE: Toons and fabrication and other conspiracy stuff being spouted...why even bother? We can't combat people who are easily convinced the moon landing was faked, nor do we need to. This is the expected reaction from them. It's more a pathetic flailing, actually...
Or are you suggesting that possibly there are actual Iraqi trolls who lurk at "that site" and others in order to be able to immediately spin...? High-tech propaganda wars? That's an interesting idea and worthy of merit...although I do repeat that one actually risks damaging one's credibility by even bothering to address the "They Faked it ALL!" argument.

We go to the Appeasers who say 'Ni!' once.
They ask us to return with a shrubbery.
We bring them the shrubbery. They change their names to the Appeasers who say "Inspectorwector-ector-icky-putui-twing-zwoop-time-*zwing*-ffffffffwooop". They ask us to go cut take more soil samples in Iraq with a haddock.
We say, "Oh, piss off!" :-)

I think it quite possible that there are Iraqis, or their minions, who lurk at that site and drop nuggets to get the rubes all enraged against the US. I think it also possible that similar types have infiltrated the radical environmental groups and have egged them on to a more violent course of behavior than they formerly had.
Of course, it could be a coincidence, like when "gravitas" appeared in about 100 media outlets within 24 hours of its first use (during the 2000 campaign).
It is an interesting observation, and I think we should pay attention to coincidences like that, which might be coincidences after all.
Or not.
