...to him. That is why he fired the CIA Director.

You don't know your history and you write in this simplistic manner spouting rightwing views, and you're scoffing at a man who does know history, has read, and re-read, and double-checked and re-read again, ALL the relevant material from every investigation of this matter, and has conducted his own research from new sources that he developed, and writes superbly and convincingly, with voluminous sources and footnotes, and understands it all at the level of detail as well as the deeper level of the meaning of events? An historian, a philosopher, a man of great knowledge and wisdom?

YOU "don't think he really knew what he claimed"? You?

"We will see when we read the CIA material." Yeah, right. YOU are going to spend ten years of your life "reading the CIA material," as James Douglass has done. Don't make me laugh.

You don't know what you're talking about, on this, or on any other topic for which I've seen your comments. Please get educated and stop inflicting us with vague, fact-less, Tea-Partyish blather.
