Looks like somebody is used to how MeFi looks as an RSS feed.

In dougzilla's defense, it's kind of confusing to give the post a title and not have that title displayed on the front page.

If the first minute of the first link is any indication, the gist of the videos is "OMG WWIII" from a tweedy liberal's perspective.

You have some balls sir. Carry on, then.

Man, I kinda wish Bush would hurry up and invade Iran, just to shut Seymour Hersh up.

I was convinced one of the links would go to this.

See the Van der Leeuw lecture [pdf] Hersh gave on October 27 in Groningen, the Netherlands. Much of the same stuff, written out.

Perhaps, but since it does not display, from the front page this post just says youboob inside.

4 rickrolls in a row? I was more expecting something like this.

Mod note: fixed the formatting, removed a few comments, do over?

do over?

No, the formatting is poor, but there is enough there for a good post, at least in my opinion, and especially after your kind edit.

Blah blah blah ad hominem attack on Bush blah blah blah straw man argument blah blah blah doom and gloom...

I love Seymour Hersh, but he's turning into an old fart...or an old crank.

Besides, George Bush has sought to reassure sceptical Europeans and critics at home that he remains committed to using diplomacy in dealing with Iran.

The story from Sy Hersch about the tattooed soldier is horrifying. We can't even begin to have the slightest clue about what psychic traumas these soldiers are returning with.

What a fucking cynical (and stupid) comment. Hersh is a diamond among the baubles of what passes for journalism in America. The acid test? When has he been wrong?
