Being an apologist for Saddam and Al-Q is not the road to

Mr. Minyard, you're a living example of that 'rock-headed,
love-it-or-leave-it chauvinism' that I mentioned in another context on
this thread. How, exactly, does wanting to get to the bottom of this
event -- hell, for that matter doubting the official American accounts
of it -- make me an apologist for Saddam and/or al-Qaeda?

And quite right, I do read the news, pretty often in fact. IIRC, you
were one of the people vociferously objecting to the possibility that
those news reports from 18 months ago, talking about abuse of
prisoners by Americans, might be worth investigating...
