Bobby, there are a lot of things that Chomsky says that I don’t agree with, and IMHO Linus Pauling went around the bend in several areas, but I would never be so stupid as to challenge them in their areas.

These guys would need a team of translators to keep up with Cole’s daily reading, and can never replicate his on scene experience. Claiming that he is in error on the Middle East would require months of research and preparation. You can’t just decide you don’t like his conclusions and then claim he has made factual errors.

Opine all you want, but don’t try to attack him on the facts – he’ll bury you.

Glad to hear things are looking up, Karen.

The fact that Mr. Goldberg has a passing acquaintance with reality or the facts certainly never stopped him — or any pundit, for that matter — from shooting off his bazoo. The fact that Juan Cole calls him on it is the proper course of action (I love a good bitch slap fest) and that James Woolcott is cheering it on makes it even more appropriate.

Jonah’s only claim to fame is that he is the spawn of someone who is notorious. By those rights, Al Capone Jr. should have had his own talk show.
