I think that piece is probably very accurate, especially since I've been following this issue (somewhat) for some time, but I don't think its my duty to provide an exhaustive analysis of this or any issue when I post. If people bring other information to the thread, that's great, and that's actually kind of the point. If I had posted the commondreams link with the message, "This is all you need to know about this topic," then maybe you would have a point. But I'm not that simpleminded.

Oh, and Tim K, thanks for your intelligent contribution to this thread.
