Of course But you do occasionally pick up something that you would not have seen otherwise.

There is a history of rape as a weapon against politically opposing groups. Of course. Unfortunately rape, and worse, as a weapon is pretty wide spreads. Same. It happened most recently in Libya if you will recall. I will not recall because I refused to follow the news on Libya. :shock: Why? Anyway...

As I said above, this is credible in the sense that I expect some men to rape women and there's a pretty good chance that some crazy sonofabitch actually recruited a squad for this. But the claims of a couple of people do not amount to evidence. And the Daily Mail as a source? Come on. Does it actu...

“This is still happening now,” Magda Adly, director of the Nadeem Center for Human Rights, told The Times of London. “I believe thugs are being paid money to do this ... the Muslim Brotherhood have the same political approaches as Mubarak.” Nice.

How are the two connected? You said that you didn't mind drone strikes as long as they targeted "terrorists." I pointed out that there is no way of knowing who the people being targeted are, or on what evidence they are being killed, and now you are just repeating "9/11" over an...

Indeed ever since Oliver Stone won the Nobel prize for economics he is at least as qualified as Krugman to speak about economics.

Here's another nuclear hoax , this time targeting Iran. It has so many errors that it should be an obvious hoax to just about anyone, but the Yellowcake Document hoax should have been, too.
