Dear Colleagues:

I normally do not post the occasional over the top email which I may receive. But the one appended below seems such a fine example of right wing fanaticism -- and therefore of the kinds of attacks faced by anyone who does not agree with right wingers -- that it seemed to me to warrant posting. It really is not that every single thing said by my friend (yup, in truth my friend) Hulugu is incorrect. To the contrary, he says one or two things that may briefly be worth pondering, although I do think them to be, upon even the merest analysis, incorrect, insupportable or very misleading. It is, rather, that the virulence, the vituperativeness, of the attack represents the kind of thing that people face if they do not agree with the right wing. Am I incorrect in thinking that the appended is, in its own way, reminiscent of the Brown Shirts?*

this natta article is the WORST sort of inferential journalism built on anti american surmises and the desire to weaken the effectiveness of the american defense forces in the war on islamofacism in classic 4G warfare tactics--the collar doesn't match the cuffs [the body of the story doesn't match the headline] as there is no DIRECT evidence of torture of rendered prisoners except for their own statements which they are beholden to give by lying in a classic application of the islamic doctrine of taquiyya [not that y'all have the slighest clue what that means}--is karamov a bad actor and a dictator--yeah he's a son of a bitch but he's our son of a bitch--so get real--he's a muslim anti wahabbist who can't stand the reactionary jihadis who threaten his country and US too [do you want them to fly a plane into your house to "get it"] what's it like to be so clueless about the nature of our enemy that you want to impeach bush [elected to save your ass in spite of yourself]--is this the best that an LLL journalist can do--no DIRECT evidence that the planes carried jihadis–no DIRECT evidence of torture--an old human rights report of how karamov treats his own domestic prisoners--so what--its well known that turkey uses torture on domestic prisoners and its being considered for e.u.membership–this is an example of poor reporting built on speculation from unamed sources and rampant guess work--its an homage to perfidious conjecture--the one cia source [unamed] says the torture is not happening--you lead with the inference that bush is responsible for boiling people--how irresponsible of you to use these cheap properganda techniques--I’m disappointed in your analytical failure of this slanted article--it fails jounalism 101–another coup for pinchy the left wing publishing putz propagandist-- c'est arrant nonsense --you have been FISKED HULAGU
