And unless US citizens watch or otherwise get their news from other
countries' news services, particularly the BBC, they won't get truthful
reporting. That long-necked blonde woman - Barbara someone? - who
appears on Fox - perfectly happy making things up and stating them as
news. Ask her the names of the 10,000 Canadians who (according to her)
served in Vietnam. If Fox is neutral - how is it that people
interviewed who don't agree with that bombastic idiot (can't remember
his name) who is the most famous Fox interviewer get told to shut up or
actually have their mike switched off? Judson, you yourself need to get
out and hear it from other sources.

Well, they would, wouldn't they? Are you saying that "every detached
observer" is lying, or that the statement "Every detached observer says
the reverse" is a lie? 'Cause it ain't.

Duh! >>NO<< country can protect itself against another 9/11 unless it

Well, if you truly believe that, then there is no point in discussing
anything with you. The right-wing media have completely taken over your
thought processes.
