    Don't get the news much? (n/t) by DesertRat662007-07-10 07:34:48
      Don't clarify your points much? (n/t) by hadji2007-07-10 07:36:30
        Nevermind, it's not worth it. by hadji2007-07-10 07:43:01
          I figured you at least skimmed headlines by DesertRat662007-07-10 08:25:01
            That post is useless. by hadji2007-07-10 08:36:21
              Am thinking the "absolute silence..." by esbita2007-07-10 09:33:08

                  Not that hadji would've known. by esbita2007-07-10 10:02:57
                    Yes he could, DR66 quoted that part here..... (n/t) by jeff_uk2007-07-10 10:05:00
                      Quoted what, where? (n/t) by esbita2007-07-10 10:09:01
                        In the TLP by hadji 2007-07-10 10:21:18
What is striking about all this savagery—whether with the filmed beheadings of Westerners in Iraq to the recent flaming Johnny Storm human torch at Glasgow, screaming epithets as he sought to engulf bystanders and ignite his canisters . . .
and
the silence of the West toward the primordial horror from Gaza to Anbar is, well, horrific in its own way as well...
Tell me how sweeping statements like that can refer to the specific incident. Tell me how sweeping statements like that do not refer to the multiplicity of incidents which include ones we hear about every day, and ones which we are fighting against every day.

                          Read the article. by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 10:31:47
                            But the claim of 'absolute silence' was general, by jeff_uk2007-07-10 10:32:52
                              It puts the quotes into the approproate by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 10:36:41
                          Nice cherry-picking. by esbita2007-07-10 10:32:52

                              Did you apply your skills of scrutiny by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 12:23:37
                                My agenda is to argue the following points. by hadji2007-07-10 12:39:17
                                So, you are after DR66, and not after the article by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 12:43:40
                                To be more precise, I'm after the TLP. by hadji2007-07-10 12:50:08
                                You didn't even read the article you criticize. by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 12:56:48

                                I've read the articles, and I've seen nothing by hadji2007-07-10 13:04:26
                                Oh, and I'm constantly hearing that by hadji2007-07-10 13:09:32
                                To put it as politely as I can: by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 15:04:06

                                Concession? by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 14:40:50
                                See here. by hadji2007-07-10 14:44:06
                                Ah, the latter part. (n/t) by CynicalRyan2007-07-10 14:58:09
                                And have I mentioned that the scrap of by hadji2007-07-10 13:22:11
                                Is there reason to believe that possibly by Peace_man2007-07-10 13:01:15
                                If you look back a few days by DesertRat662007-07-10 13:09:32
                                And in the article states that someone by Peace_man2007-07-10 13:15:02
                                More the general by DesertRat662007-07-10 13:25:45
                                I hear quite a bit about the atrocities by hadji2007-07-10 13:32:24
                                Where from by DesertRat662007-07-10 13:38:22
                                Various sources, but primarily NPR. by hadji2007-07-10 13:58:29
                                You make a perfect counter example by DesertRat662007-07-10 14:17:07
                                I would not dispute the claim of by hadji2007-07-10 14:23:29
                                It is also no new revelation that mainstream by hadji2007-07-10 14:32:56

                                You couldn't have "known" that at the time by esbita2007-07-10 13:41:06
                                It was a reasonable guess. And it was right. (n/t by hadji2007-07-10 13:47:51
